The review was carried out by the Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology Sydney and SNV in October-November 2016, in consultation with the Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) and the District Office of Rural Development (DoRD). The objectives of this review as defined in the Terms of Reference (ToR) (Annex I) were to: 1. Review the effectiveness of the pilot pro-poor support mechanism in enabling increased uptake of improved sanitation amongst ID Poor households, with a focus on scalability and sustainability. 2. Understand the strengths and key enabling factors of the mechanism. 3. Support the Cambodian Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) in efforts to promote a more coordinated and consistent approach to help increase access and usage of improved sanitation amongst the poorest households. 2 COUNTRY CONTEXTUAL BACKGROUND Cambodia has seen important improvements in sanitation coverage, with an increase in access to improved toilets rural areas from 10% in 2000 to 30% in 2015 (UNICEF/WHO 2015). However, with nearly half of the population still lacking access to improved sanitation, it remains one of countries with the lowest rates of sanitation coverage in the South East Asian region (CSES 2014; World Bank 2015a). Significant progress has been made in the sector’s governance framework through policies, strategies and plans. In 2014, the government approved the National Strategic Plan (NSP) for Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene 2014-25, with a target of universal access to sanitation in rural areas by 2025 (World Bank 2015a). Achieving this target will require a significant increase in uptake amongst the poor. In rural Cambodia, where over 75% of the population and 90% of the country’s poor live, more than 65% still practicing open defecation (CSES 2014). Further, in the bottom wealth quintile of the rural population, sanitation coverage is 19% (CSES 2012) compared to the national average of 48% (CSES 2014). The recently developed National Action Plan (NAP), aims to operationalise the NSP’s vision, and recognizes that “the rural poor should gain access to rural water and sanitation and hygiene services in equal proportion to those who are better-off” and that in many cases this will “require changes as to how the poor are targeted” (MRD 2016a, p. 7). In Cambodia, to date there has not been a coordinated and consistent nation-wide approach to ensure increased uptake of building and using latrines amongst the poor (EMC 2016). In recognition of problems caused by poorly designed hardware subsidies nationally and internationally, the National Strategy for Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene 2011 - 2025, which preceded the NAP, states that subsidization of sanitation should focus on software costs,1 with possible but limited and cautious use of hardware subsidies targeted at the poorest families only as a last option (MRD 2011). Nevertheless, several developing agencies have continued to use sanitation hardware subsidies in an 1 Costs involved in supporting the development of an enabling environment, hygiene behavior change activities, and sanitation marketing costs (MRD 2011). 1 INSTITU TE FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURES JANUARY 2017 inconsistent manner (EMC 2016). To promote a coordinated and consistent approach, ‘National Guiding Principles on Hardware Subsidies for Rural Household Sanitation’ were recently drafted (developed with the sector). These principles guide how sanitation hardware subsidies should be implemented in Cambodia and are part of set of national guidance documents to accompany the NAP. Key principles include that subsidies are only introduced to communes with a minimum of 60% improved latrine coverage, targeted at ID-Poor 1 and ID-Poor 2 households without an improved latrine, and applied to cover the costs of a latrine sub-structure only (MRD 2016b). These guiding principles will be assessed and amended based on the various sector development agencies’ experiences of implementing them. Such assessment will be part the annual review of the NAP implementation by the MRD (Ibid). 3 SSH4A PROGRAM IN CAMBODIA The pro-poor support mechanism pilot reviewed in this report is part of SNV’s broader Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for All (SSH4A) program. In this section we provide background information about the SSH4A program more broadly and the pro-poor support mechanism pilot.

  • A Field Trip's Report in Veal Veng District, Pursat
    mCÄmNÐlÉkßrkm<úCa DC-Cam’s Promoting Accountability Project A Field Trip’s Report in Veal Veng District, Pursat Province May 18-24, 2011 By Long Dany General Description and Brief History of Districts After the integration of the Khmer Rouge forces by the Cambodian government in 1996, Veal Veng was created as a district in Pursat province. Previously, Veal Veng had been one of the communes included within the Kravanh district. Veal Veng is approximately 120 kilometers from Pursat, and it can be reached by Road Number 56 which links Pursat and Veal Veng across the Kavanh district. The road between Pursat and Kravanh district is paved and smooth, but the road from the Kravanh district to Veal Veng is bumpy and rough. It is a gravel paved road with several old and ailing bridges. The Veal Veng district town is located 75 kilometers from the Thai border of the Trat province. The border checkpoint is called Thma Da. Nowadays, the authorities of both countries allow their citizens to cross the border only on Saturdays. Approximately 60 kilometers south of the Veal Veng district is the O Ta Som commune, where a Chinese company is building a hydroelectric power station. O Ta Som is just about 40 kilometers from the Koh Kong provincial town. Veal Veng comprises of five communes: Pramoy, Anlong Reap, O Ta Som, Kra Peu Pi, and Thma Da. Veal Veng has a population of 13,822 people—3,197 families. At the present time, the government is drafting a decree to create more communes and villages for Veal Veng because of its huge space of land.

The data received from some licensees may not up to the required level of accuracy and hence the information provided in this report may be taken as indicative. This report is for dissemination to the Royal Government, institutions, investors and public desirous to know about the situation of the power sector of the Kingdom of Cambodia during the year 2012. With addition of more HV transmission system and MV sub-transmission system, more and more licensees are getting connected to the grid supply. This has resulted in improvement in the quality of supply to more consumers. By end of 2012, more than 91% of the consumers are connected to the grid system. More licensees are now supplying electricity for 24 hours a day. The grid supply has reduced the cost of supply and consequently the tariff for supply to consumers. Due to lower cost and other measures taken by Royal Government of Cambodia, in 2012 there has been a substantial increase in the number of consumers availing electricity supply.

  • Chapter 4: Development Strategy for Kampot
    The Study on National Integrated Strategy of Coastal Area and Master Plan of Sihanouk-ville for Sustainable Development Final Report (Book II) CHAPTER 4: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR KAMPOT 4.1 Issues in the Present Conditions of Kampot 4.1.1 Socio Economic Condition According to the 2008 Census, the total population in the Kampot province was 585,850, of which only 8.2% of population was living in urban area. Population density of the province was 120/km2, which was considerably higher than the national average of 56/km2. In Kampot, 36.4% of the population (225,039) was under 15 years of age. Working age population (age between 15 and 64) was 377,315 or 61.0% of the population. Labor force participation rate1 of Kampot (81.5%) in 2008 was higher than that of the national average (76.9%) and the Study area average (76.4%). About 85% of labor force in the province was engaged in agriculture. The high labor force participation rate in Kampot is considered to be a result from extensive self-employed agricultural activities. The economically active segment of the population (employed population + unemployed population) was 309,098, which accounted for 49.9% of the total population in the province. Population of the Kampot province has increased by 1.0% per annum between 1998 and 2008. During the same period, the number of labor force in the Study area has increased more rapidly from 230,411 to 309,093 with annual average increase rate of 3.0%. Table 4.1.1 Change in Population and Number of Labor Force in Kampot Province Population Labor Force Urban Rural Total 1998 Census 45,240 483,165 528,405 230,411 2008 Census 48,274 537,576 585,850 309,093 Annual Growth Rate (98-08) 0.7% 1.1% 1.0% 3.0% Source: CENSUS 1998 and 2008, NIS Such a rapid increase in labor force was attributed to 4 main factors; namely 1) increase in the total population, 2) increase in the percentage of working age population to total population (51.6% -> 61.0%), 3) increase in the labor force participation rate (75.4% -> 81.5%), and 4) decrease in the crude unemployment rate (3.7% -> 1.4%).

Therefore, this paper looks at Kampot as it was during the French colonial period in order to understand the foundations of present-day Kampot. Presently, Kampot is the name of a province and its capital city, which face the Gulf of Thailand. During the colonial period, it was an administrative center for the circonscription résidentielle that extended over the coastal region. The principal sources for this paper are the “Rapports périodiques, économiques et politiques de la résidence de Kampot,” from 1885 to 1929, collected in the Centre des Archives d’Outre-Mer in Aix-en-Provence, France. Drawing from the results of our examination, we can recognize two stages in the history of Kampot. These are (1) the Kampot of King Ang-Duong, and (2) modern Kampot, which was con- structed by French colonialism. King Ang-Duong’s Kampot was the primary sea outlet for his landlocked kingdom.
