The Promoting Healthy Behaviors (PHB) Activity is a Social and Behavior Change project funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and was commenced in 2018. The goal of PHB is to improve health behaviors among Cambodians and ensure they seek and receive quality healthcare with decreased financial hardship.
GEO FOCUS AREAS
PHB, implemented by Population Services International (PSI) and its partners in collaboration with the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC), works in eight provinces: Phnom Penh, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Cham, Tbong Khmum, Battambang, Pailin, Pursat and Kampong Speu.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1: Strengthened public sector systems for oversight and coordination of SBC at national and provincial levels

- Strengthened systems for ensuring quality and ongoing monitoring, building in feedback loops to ensure continuous learning and steady improvement of process and SBC interventions
- Increased RGC funding for SBC as an essential element of health programming
Objective 2: Improved ability of individuals to adopt healthy behaviors

- Characteristics of high-quality services perceived more accurately by priority populations
