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.

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias, or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic, and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in health, nutrition, education, and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
