The Government of Cambodia plans to complete construction of the US$10 million National Disability Center of Cambodia by 2023 with high-quality and international standard services for persons with a disability in Cambodia.

The National Disability Centre of Cambodia is to be constructed on a 65,530 square metre plot located along National Road 4 in Tror Pang Veng village, Chhak Chhoeu Neang Commune, Ang Snuol district, Kandal province.

Its special features consist of a business building, headquarters, administrative building, rehabilitation building, football field, theatre, lounge, swimming pool, water factory, pond and playground which were built and equipped with international standard equipment.

On his visit, H.E. Vong Sauth, Minister of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation (MOSAVY), on 9 April 2020, requested the construction company to ensure a high-quality building that complies with the promised standard and the long-term usage for serving persons with a disability in Cambodia.

This new national disability centre marks another key milestone for the social affairs sector development in Cambodia upon completion of the Mental Health and

Rehabilitation Centre and Youth Rehabilitation Centre located in Kandal Stung district, Kandal province that was built separately and to a lower standard than the new disability centre.

According to the Ministry of Planning’s 2013 interim report, there are 301,629 persons with a disability in total in Cambodia. Of these, 144,622 are women.
