Chhay Than said the previous program of cooperation with UNICEF has contributed to improving the lives of many children and women in Cambodia.
""But we also recognize that many children are still left behind. We are pleased that the new country program will put more emphasis on the most disadvantaged children so that more children in Cambodia will have a chance to thrive and grow up to become healthy and productive adults,"" he said.
Cambodia has a large number of children and adolescents, with 45 percent of the total population aged 19 years or younger. Eleven percent are under the age of 5.
