Client: Ministry of Heath-MoH

Duration: Nov 2026-Feb 2030

API Development Consulting led the development of Cambodia’s Gender Mainstreaming Policy and Strategic Plan (GMPSP) 2025–2030 for the Ministry of Health (MoH). This national‑level assignment aims to integrate Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) across all aspects of the health system, ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare for women, marginalized groups, and vulnerable populations.

API was engaged to design a comprehensive and transformative policy and strategic plan that embeds GEDSI principles into health governance, service delivery, workforce development, health financing, and institutional mechanisms. The GMPSP also aligns with major national and global frameworks including Neary Rattanak, NAPVAW, SDGs, CEDAW, and UHC.

Key Objectives:

API developed the GMPSP to:

Identify gender‑ and social‑based disparities in health access and outcomes.
Integrate GEDSI principles across MoH policies and institutional systems.
Provide clear implementation, monitoring, and accountability frameworks.
Produce a Gender Mainstreaming Action Plan (GMAP) with measurable indicators and a theory of change.
