The Ministry of Rural Development on 13 November announced that more than half of Cambodians now have access to improved sanitation such as latrines.
According to the ministry’s statement, 47 per cent of Cambodians now lack access to improved sanitation, compared to 89 per cent in 1990.
The goal is to bring that number down to 40 per cent by 2018 and to zero by 2025, according to Chea Sophara, the minister of rural development.
