CAMBODIA FAMILY
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
(CFDS)
1.
Background: Cambodia
Family Development Services was established in January 1993 as the indigenous
successor of the UNHCR-funded Reintegration Advisory Program, which was implemented
in Cambodia by Holt International Children’s Services from July 1992 through
December 1993. Following Holt's withdrawal from Cambodia in December of 1993,
CFDS continued as an independent and full-fledged local NGO. CFDS has expanded
its activities to include not only a broad-based social services program
focused on family development, but community development programs, which under
a new initiative will include community-based resource management and
environmental concerns. CFDS continues to support rehabilitation and
development efforts in five provinces and provinces around the Tonle Sap Lake.
