Cambodia is initiating adoption in 5 priority provinces including:
- Phnom Penh
- Battambang
- Kandal
- Siem Reap
- Sihanouk Ville
These provinces have participated in a pilot project to improve the child welfare system and will serve as models to initiate Inter-country Adoption. Over time the number of provinces where children are able to be placed will be expanded as the child welfare system is improved in additional provinces.
