This report presents the results of the 2000 Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey (CDHS 2000). The principal objective of the survey is to provide policymakers and planners with current and reliable data on household and women's characteristics, fertility and family planning behaviour, child and maternal mortality, children's nutritional status, utilization of maternal and child health services, women's status and household relations, illnesses and injuries, and knowledge of HIV/AIDS.
The report documents an effort of UNDP South East Asia HIV and Development Project in collaboration of FAO and the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to mainstream HIV resilience building in the agricultural sector through an experiment called Farmer Life Schools (FLS). The FLS approach translates farmers' analytical thinking from plant ecosystem-base into analysing an individual's life as a human ecosystem - with factors that strengthen or weaken his/her resilience to adversities, which includes HIV.
