Preface NGOs have been active in Cambodia since the fall of the Khmer Rouge in 1979. Once stability was achieved, from 1992 onwards, international donor-government assistance to support the reconstruction and development of Cambodia was restored. Initially, until 1995, only these organisations contributed to the annual International Committee on the Reconstruction of Cambodia (ICORC) meetings. However, since 1996, NGOs (initially international, but now only local organisations) have participated in the annual Consultative Group meetings that were replaced by meetings of the Cambodia Development Cooperation Forum (CDCF) in 2007. Each year, Cambodian local and international NGOs use this opportunity to present their detailed statements on issues and recommendations for the development of Cambodia as seen from the national and grassroots perspective. This publication is a collation of information from local and international NGOs working in a wide variety of sectors in Cambodia. It presents their observations and recommendations regarding the progress made during 2007 and 2008 in terms of implementation of the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP), achieving the Joint Monitoring Indicators (JMIs) and other development strategies. Building on the day-to-day operations of many of these local and international NGOs working at Cambodia’s grassroots level, these NGOs are able to make genuine observations of the impacts of development and bring the voice of these poor and vulnerable communities to the attention of decision makers. The NGO community would therefore like to show their appreciation of their inclusion in the assessment process by sharing their observations and subsequent recommendations for each associated policy development. The NGO community strives to ensure its inputs are presented in a positive, supportive manner, and would like to incorporate shared ideas which will achieve poverty reduction within their own work agenda. This publication, along with the NGO Statement to the 2008 CDCF, is intended to contribute to this policy dialogue and inform the discussions that will take place during the CDCF to be held in Phnom Penh from 3-5 December 2008. The NGO community in Cambodia hopes that this publication will be used as an important reference tool for all stakeholders, whether they are from NGOs, the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC), donors or development agencies, working to reduce poverty in Cambodia. iv NGO Position Papers on Cambodia's Development in 2007-2008 Acknowledgements The NGO sectoral and issues papers were prepared voluntarily by local and international NGOs, their network members and working groups. The development of this work would not be possible without the assistance of numerous individuals and organisations. Information presented in these papers is based on their experiences of development work in Cambodia. Drafting and editing of this publication and the NGO statement to the CDCF was coordinated by the Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC), MEDiCAM, and the NGO Forum on Cambodia (NGOF). The table of List of Contributors below only shows the organisations who took the lead in coordinating, collating and drafting each of the sectoral papers. CCC, MEDiCAM and NGO Forum would like to formally recognise the time, energy and input that was given by all contributors to the development

  • 2019-Extension-Request-Cambodia
    KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA Nation Religion King The Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction Request for an extension of the deadline for completing the destruction of anti-personnel mines in mined areas in accordance with Article 5, paragraph 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The Kingdom of Cambodia signed the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) on 3 December 1997 and ratified it on 28 July 1999, becoming a State Party on 1 January 2000. Due to the magnitude and nature of the AP mine problem in the country, Cambodia needed to extend its AP mine clearance deadline, with the APMBC setting a new deadline for 1 January 2020. The period of the first extension request is from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2019. For this document, figures are from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2018 (as retrieved on 31 January 2019) unless otherwise specified. Overview of the achievements since the first extension request was granted Cambodia exceeded the targets outlined in the first extension request, releasing 577,171,932 square meters of AP mine affected land (target: 470,048,519 square meters or 123 per cent). 946 villages can be declared as known AP mine-free. The table below shows the annual clearance achievements of the entire sector and the percentages achieved against the annual target. Table.
