The Social Assistance Family Package (SAFP) is a cornerstone initiative under Cambodia’s National Social Protection Policy Framework (2024–2035), designed to uplift poor and vulnerable households by enhancing human capital and building longterm resilience. Administered by the National Social Assistance Fund (NSAF) in coordination with key ministries and subnational administrations, the SAFP consolidates multiple targeted cash transfer schemes—including support for pregnant women, young children, the elderly, persons with disabilities, school children, and individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Following
its official launch in April 2024, the SAFP has transitioned from emergency COVID-19 cash transfers to a more integrated
and sustainable social protection model. A pivotal advancement is the development of the Cash Plus model for piloting, which links financial assistance with referrals to essential services such as disability inclusion and gender responsive healthcare, education and vocational training. The programme also aims to enhance household resilience to climate-related and other shocks. To effectively operationalize the Social Assistance Family Package (SAFP)—a complex, multi-sectoral programme under
Cambodia’s National Social Protection Policy Framework—and to support the development and enhancement of related applications and systems, a National IT Specialist is essential. This specialist will assist the National Social Assistance Fund
(NSAF) in designing and implementing robust digital solutions, including mobile applications for the Family Package Cash Plus referral and social services, shock responsive social assistance, as well as modules for monitoring, A key focus will be
ensuring interoperability with other social protection platforms and other relevant social protection systems, such as monitoring and evaluation systems, TVET, the Disability Management Information System (DMIS), and other relevant databases.

Adolescence is a critical period of development during which mental health challenges can have lasting impacts. In Bhutan, mental health concerns among children, adolescents, young people, and women are increasing, with anxiety and depression accounting for more than 55% of reported cases, followed by alcohol -related mental and behavioral disorders. In response, WHO and UNICEF launched the Helping Adolescents Thrive (HAT) Initiative, including evidence -based guidelines, an implementation toolkit, a teacher’ s Guide, and a Comic Book to promote adolescent mental health and socio -emotional learning. To pilot the initiative in Bhutan, UNICEF partnered with the Ministry of Education and Skills Development (MOESD) and the PEMA Secretariat in 2025, implementing the adapted HAT toolkit in 24 schools over six months through school counsellors in 12 schools and mentor -mentee programmes in the remaining 12 schools.
The pilot implementation of the HAT initiative demonstrated positive outcomes in strengthening adolescents’ social -emotional skills, with participants showing improved emotional awareness and a greater willingness to seek support from peers, counsellors, and wellbeing focal persons. Teachers observed that students felt more comfortable discussing their challenges, while parents and caregivers reported being better equipped to understand and support their children after participating in the programme. A major factor contributing to the pilot’s success was the adaptation of the resources to the Bhutanese context, particularly the comic book Magnificent Meto and Friends , whose relatable characters and storylines resonated strongly with adolescents. Due to high demand, including among older adolescents aged 15 –19 years,
