Tobacco, alcohol and drug abuse programmes are also be<strong>in</strong>g covered by NGOs and IOs <strong>in</strong> prov<strong>in</strong>ces and<br />

towns throughout <strong>Cambodia</strong>. This is because these issues have recently been highly publicised by donors<br />

and other development partners. The six variables concern<strong>in</strong>g education for youth exam<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> this study<br />

were vocational/skills tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, non-formal education, scholarship/fellowship, primary education, secondary<br />

education and tertiary education. Kep, Odar Meanchey, Stung Treng, Svay Rieng, Preah Vihear, Mondulkiri,<br />

Ratanakiri, Pursat, Kampong Chhnang, Prey Veng and Koh Kong have a lower concentration of education<br />

programme <strong>in</strong>terventions. This implies that these prov<strong>in</strong>ces and towns need more attention as a priority of<br />

future <strong>in</strong>vestment.<br />

NGO and IO education programmes focus on primary rather than lower or upper secondary education. NGOs<br />

and IOs work to support primary education <strong>in</strong> almost all prov<strong>in</strong>ces and towns, except <strong>in</strong> Kep and Stung Treng<br />

prov<strong>in</strong>ces. The mapp<strong>in</strong>g activity did not f<strong>in</strong>d any NGO or IOs support<strong>in</strong>g secondary and tertiary education.<br />

The highest dropout rate <strong>in</strong> Grades 1-6 is approximately 20 per cent (Koh Kong, Pursat, Ratanakiri, Pail<strong>in</strong>,<br />

Mondulkiri, Stung Treng, Preah Vihear, and Odar Meanchey). School retention and re-entry <strong>in</strong>itiatives <strong>in</strong><br />

these prov<strong>in</strong>ces, especially, need to be a priority if <strong>Cambodia</strong> is to reach its education-related MDGs. The<br />

lack of NGO and IO <strong>in</strong>itiatives <strong>in</strong> a number of the areas <strong>in</strong> highest need is an issue that needs to be better<br />

understood and addressed.<br />
