Until 2016, the CCN has attained significant achievements resulted from the implementation of the Strategic Plan I.

The CCN has developed and is ready to implement Strategic Plan II (2017-2019) aiming at continuously upgrading on institutional capacity building and nursing profession with expectation of promoting health and safety patients.

This strategic plan is designed to guide the leadership of the Cambodian Council of Nurses, both at the national and sub-national levels, to implement to achieve key strategic goals before the end of 2025.
