This report tracks changes in poverty in Cambodia in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, Cambodia had achieved rapid poverty reduction. However, the pandemic and related public health measures undercut the very sources of poverty reduction. This study synthesises a quantitative analysis of pre-pandemic panel household survey data, with household surveys and qualitative research conducted at three sites during the pandemic (January and February 2022) to assess its socioeconomic impacts. The report also draws out the policy implications of the research findings.
