quality
• Good Practices:

established in February, 2007
2- The National Institute of Statistics has
conducted several Census and Surveys and all
data are available such as:

– The Inter-Censal Population Survey (every ten
years)
– The Time Use survey (one)
– The Socio-Economic Survey (every year)
– Demographic and Health Survey (every five years)
These surveys and census are the main source for
information on gender statistics.
3-Currently, NIS is full of Human resources which
have been trained abroad as well as in country.
They have enough experiences and skill on
statistics.

mainstreaming. The Royal Government of
Cambodia has understood, and encouraged to
mainstream the gender into the action plan of
the Ministries.
