About UNESCO Phnom Penh

In 1951, Cambodia joined UNESCO as a Member State, and UNESCO reopened its office in Cambodia in 1991. As a laboratory of ideas, the partnership between UNESCO and Cambodia has seen significant advancement in ensuring inclusive and quality education; promoting the conservation of World Heritage Sites and intangible cultural heritage; fostering environment conservation and livelihoods development, and policy support in science, technology and innovation; and strengthening freedom of expression and media development for democracy and development.
