Phnom Penh - The United Nations said Monday that Cambodia had won an award for the government's successes in dealing with HIV/AIDS.
The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) award follows the drop in the nation's HIV prevalence from an estimated 2 per cent of adults in 1998 to a projected 0.7 per cent this year.
The UN's resident coordinator in Cambodia, Douglas Broderick, attributed success in tackling the disease to strong leadership, sound policies and collaboration between government and its partners.
'The lessons learned here can be applied to accelerating the progress of those goals still facing challenges to ensure their achievement by 2015,' he said referring to other MDGs that remain off-target such as the number of women dying in childbirth.
