AKP Phnom Penh, February 19, 2026 -- The Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority (CMAA) and Exceed Worldwide have strengthened cooperation in supporting the provision of rehabilitation services to people with disabilities from explosive ordnance and support for vulnerable communities.

The commitment was made in a meeting held here on Feb. 19 between H.E. Ly Thuch, Senior Minister and CMAA’s First Vice President, and Mr. Carson Harte, Executive Director of Exceed Worldwide. 

During the meeting, Mr. Carson Harte reported on the provision of services to people with disabilities and the rescue of victims of landmines and explosive remnants of war in Cambodia.

Mr. Carson Harte confirmed that Exceed Worldwide, which manages the Phnom Penh, Kampong Chhnang, and Sihanoukville rehabilitation centres, plans to expand the provision of Hospital Based Rehabilitation, requesting support from relevant ministries and institutions of the Royal Government of Cambodia.

For his part, H.E. Dr. Ly Thuch expressed his deep gratitude and high appreciation for the participation of Exceed Worldwide, which has actively contributed to the protection, care, and provision of various services to people with disabilities, especially victims of landmines and war remnants, as well as supporting communities in accessing educational, vocational training, employment, or new business opportunities.

The Senior Minister emphasised that although Cambodia has achieved significant success in resolving landmine issues, it continues to be affected by remaining landmines and explosive remnants of war, which require contributions from friendly countries and relevant development partners. Exceed Worldwide is also a partner in providing services to people with disabilities.

He welcomed Exceed Worldwide's plans to expand its services in public hospitals, citing that CMAA and Exceed Worldwide will continue to strengthen their cooperation in supporting the provision of rehabilitation services to people with disabilities due to explosive ordnance, and support for vulnerable communities.
