Cambodia, officially known as the Kingdom of Cambodia, had a population of 15.5 million according to the 2019 Census, with estimates for 2023 placing the population at 17.1 million. Over 60% of the population resides in rural areas. The National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) 2019-2023 identifies the promotion of the agriculture sector and rural development as key strategies for achieving inclusive and sustainable development in Cambodia. Rural mobility faces key issues such as the limited all-weather roads, extent of paved roads, as well as affordability, availability and other issues related to rural transport services. Significant progress has been made in recent years, particularly in improving and furthering the development of rural transport infrastructure including all-weather road network expansion. Based on the latest statistics from 2022, Cambodia’s road network is some 67,000 km long, including over 7,400 km of national roads, 11,300 km of provincial roads, and about 48,000 km of rural roads.
