Proposed programme of intervention to integrate Cambodian returnees into the Cambodian economy

In response to the mass return of over 910,000 Cambodian migrant workers from Thailand in 2025, this report by CDRI and ERIA outlines a comprehensive intervention programme to address the resulting economic and social challenges. The programme proposes short-term measures such as emergency cash transfers, debt relief, public works employment, and skills certification to stabilise affected households. Medium-term strategies focus on agro-processing, SME development, industrial diversification, and infrastructure expansion to ensure sustainable reintegration.
