KAMPONG CHAM Questionnaire Survey 2009
Kampong Cham is the capital of the province with the same name and the third largest
city in Cambodia, with a population of 65,000 people. Kampong Cham province is the
most densely populated in Cambodia, with over 2 million people, and at the same time
one of the poorest. With its location by the Mekong River and relatively close proximity
to Phnom Penh and Viet-nam, Kampong Cham has always been an important trade,
transportation and migration hub. The economy of the province centres primarily on
agricultural related activities such as rubber and cashew nut plantations, fishing and rice
farming. Kampong Cham, given its poverty and heavily populated area, has become
one of the busiest migration source provinces, commencing unsafe migration patterns
and trafficking of both children and adults.
The Kampong Cham questionnaire survey 2009 was conducted by the CSCN member
Mith Samlanh. A total of 67 questionnaires were filled out about children/youth accessing
their services. Of these 46 percent (31) were male and 54 percent (36) female.
