Five provinces in northeast Cambodia still have a high percentage of households without a toilet, while the majority of households in Svay Rieng, Prey Veng, Battambang, Kandal, and Phnom Penh have access to toilets, according to the findings of the recent population census.
Officials say they expect that Cambodia will reach the status of “Open Defecation Free” (ODF) by 2025.
Across the Kingdom, 82.8 per cent of the more than 3.55 million households now possess a toilet, while 17.2 per cent do not.
These percentages – from the 2019 census results released last month – are a drastic improvement from the 14.5 per cent of households with a toilet in 1998 and 33.7 per cent in 2008.
