Background

In 1995, Nyemo France visited Cambodia to assess the feasibility of developing a social and economic reintegration program for vulnerable women in Phnom Penh and the first contacts were made for building the social and technical network on which the program would rely. Two years later, Nyemo returned and in March 1998, six months after Nyemo France got the official agreement of the Royal Government of Cambodia to implement its activities, Nyemo was ready to welcome its first beneficiaries. Continuous lobbying enabled to reinforce and expand the social and technical network. Governmental institutions, local civil society and international organizations and NGOs progressively reinforced their involvement through increased assistance and support. In 1999, the network was decided strong enough to handle a second program and Nyemo II was initiated. Nyemo II would focus on the reintegration of vulnerable women with children and women living with HIV/AIDS.
