Background Project implementation formalities in Cambodia were completed on 21 December 2011 with the signing of a Letter of Agreement (LoA) by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Forestry Administration (FA). The FA appointed Mr. Chay Chetha as Project Leader and a project site was selected at the Phnom Sen Han Community Forestry area located in Dambok Khpos commune, Angkor Chey district, Kampot province, about 120 km from Phnom Penh. However, two unfortunate incidents caused serious delays in implementation. First, Mr. Chay Chetha died suddenly on 23 March 2012. This was a shock to all concerned since he was still a young man. To take his place, the FA appointed Mr. Keth Nang on 02 May 2012. Then a second setback was encountered when a change in policy gave rise to a land use conflict. Due to this conflict, it was not certain whether or not the selected site would be available for project implementation. Fortunately this problem has finally been resolved. During the first week of September 2012, Mr. Chuon Sara, Chief of Kep Forestry Administration Division, advised that there are no more land use conflicts and implementation can now move forward as expected. Kampot province 1 As can be observed on the map above, Kampot province is in the southern part of Cambodia. It is accessible by road from Phnom Penh City, The province is bordered by Kampong Speu to the North, Takeo and Vietnam to the East, the Gulf of Thailand to the South and Sihanouk Ville and Koh Kong to the West. The area of the province is 4,873 square kilometers (MAFF, www.maff.gov.kh). The topography varies, ranging from extensive lowland paddy fields and areas of lowland/ upland mosaic to the east and lowland/ upland mosaic and upland forested areas to the west. Kampot is classified as a rural province. 2. Project objectives and concerns Project TCP/RAS/3307 is the first FAO-assisted project in Cambodia specifically aimed at implementation and promotion of Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR). Consistent with ANR strategy, field activities will emphasize forest restoration consisting of endemic trees such as Dipterocarpus alatus, Hopea odorata, Azadirachta indica, and Sesbania grandiflora along with numerous pioneer tree and bush species. Concurrently, recognizing that implementation will be carried out at a community forestry (CF) project site, the Forestry Administration (FA) is seeking to create an enabling environment conducive to development of multi-purpose tree plantations which have the potential to supply domestic needs timber and non-timber forest products (NTFP), increase incomes of local communities, and improve the environment through watershed protection and erosion control. The majority of the persons residing at and near the project site are reliant on access to forest products, especially for fuel wood, small-scale timber, resin tapping, fodder, traditional medicines and spiritual purposes. The FA is focusing on the inter-related challenges of sustainably managing forest restoration while also creating opportunities for socio-economic development. ANR will be employed to optimize the contributions of forestry to poverty alleviation and to the overall economy through enhanced forest management and technology. 3. Activities during Inception Phase and achievements 3.1 Training The FA has selected sixty (60) trainees from the local (provincial) level to attend training on ANR techniques. Training of the first forty (40) persons will be provided by Bagong Pagasa Foundation (BPF), an entity contracted by the FAO to conduct training. The balance of twenty (20) additional persons will be trained by FA staff who were previously trained by BPF. Additionally, two officers from central FA and one each from cantonment, division and triage offices have been mobilized to implement the project. 2 Administrative and technical support is being provided by FA and FAO. The project team is seeking to collaborate with other organizations working in forestry and agriculture in the area especially the local government and local NGOs. 3.1 Project Organizational Structure and Collaboration Framework Proposed Organizational Structure and Collaboration Framework of the Project Donor Project Leader FAO Administration and accountant Volunteer Field coordinator Community Forestry Students Field assistant Committee 3.2 ANR Manual Translation BPF provided the FA with a field manual on implementation and training for “Assisted Natural Regeneration”. This manual was translated by FA into Khmer language. Copies of the Khmer translation will be given to local community members and local FA officers prior to the conduct of training. Furthermore, all documents from a previous Inception Workshop held at in Chiang Mai, Thailand were also translated and will be distributed to training participants. 3.3 ANR Model Site Selection Prior to selection of the Phnom Sen Han Community Forestry area as the ANR project site, the project team visited a PACT’s REDD+ project in Otdar Meanchey province to learn and gain experience from PACT. Thereafter, when the team proceeded to Phnom Sen Han, team members met with concerned FA senior officers at Kampot Forestry Administration Cantonment and Kep Forestry Administration Division in order to arrive a common understanding of project objectives. The team also met with FAO officers assigned to Cambodia. 3 3.4 ANR Model Site Development 3.4.1 Organization meeting with the local community In March 2012, the FA project team organized and conducted a meeting with residents of the Phnom Sen Han Community Forestry (CF) site. Eighty (80) persons participated including (among others) the CF Management Committee members, other local residents and local authorities, Chief of village, Chief of commune, and local FA officers. The objective of the meeting was to help ensure that all concerned had a clear understanding about the potential usefulness and contributions of ANR to forests and people in the area and to agree on the overall framework for project and implementation modalities. 3.4.2 ANR model site boundary demarcation Phnom Sen Han CF Management Committee, local community, Angkor Chey FA triage and Kep FA division reached agreement to chose 54 hectares within the south-west portion of the forest community area as the ANR model site. A map of the site is shown in Appendix 1. Boundary demarcation was conducted in mid-March, 2012 by the project team in cooperation with local community members, the CF Management Committee members and local FA officers. To help prevent damage from forest fires, the project team constructed a five-meter wide firebreak on the perimeters of site. Concrete poles, two meters in height, were installed at each corner of the site. The poles were painted with red color and UTM of each point was recorded. Photos of the meetings, firebreak establishment, boundary demarcation, installation of polcs and related activities are shown in the Appendixes to this report. 3.4.3 Design and Establishment of monitoring plots The design and setting up of ANR monitoring plots was delayed due to the death of Mr. Chay Chetha who had played a key role in leading this project. Establishment of the plots commenced after designation of Mr. Keth Nang as

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.

  • Seeding the Way with Systems of Rice Intensification in Cambodia Seeding the Way with Systems of Rice Intensification in Cambodia
    52 Profiles on Agroecology: Seeding the Way with Systems of Rice Intensification in Cambodia Seeding the Way with Systems of Rice Intensification in Cambodia Introduction Mrs Tea Sarim is one of the participating farmers in a European Union funded multi-country (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Vietnam and Thailand) project called “Sustaining and Enhancing the Momentum for Innovation and Learning around the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in the Lower Mekong River Basin” (http://www.sri-lmb.ait.asia/). Mrs Sarim is from Kampot Province in Cambodia, where she farms paddy rice. She is a 57 year old farmer who has readily shared her SRI adaption experiences with others. She has enlightened many women farmers with SRI farming techniques in her small village called Deim Pour in Angkor Chey district. She was selected to participate in a season long training for farmers called CFPAR and later became one of the smartest farmer trainers to transfer knowledge of SRI techniques to other farmers in her community by conducting various Farmers Participatory Action Research projects. Figure 1. Khmer women in the rice field Khmer1 women farmers are very hard working and have a hectic work life supporting their family needs, daily household jobs and other agricultural works. Sarim is one of those too, and is responsible for feeding her family. Having practiced farming for five years, Sarim was unable to feed her family well and conventional farming consumed a lot of time and labour. She experienced her workload being reduced after adapting SRI in her fields. Today, she produces more than 6 tons per hectare by spending less cost on seeds, water, labour, and other resources.

  • Field Trip Report: Malai District, a Former Khmer Rouge Stronghold
    mCÄmNÐlÉkßrkm<úCa “Humanizing Perpetrators: Is It Possible?” THE DC‐CAM'S PROMOTING ACCOUNTABILITY FIELD TRIP REPORT Malai District ‐‐ A Former Khmer Rouge Stronghold Banteay Meanchey Province By Dany Long Summary and Context within Large Project The interviews summarized above are part of an ongoing project being conducted by the Promoting Accountability (PA) team at Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC‐Cam). This project involves conducting interviews with former Khmer Rouge cadres who live in the areas of Cambodia that were Khmer Rouge strongholds until the mid‐1990s. In each of these areas the PA team interviews between 100 and 150 former Khmer Rouge cadres. To date, the PA team has found that these communities remain insular groups made up of individuals with markedly different viewpoints than other former Khmer Rouge cadres who have spent the past 30 plus years living side by side with victims of the Khmer Rouge regime throughout the rest of Cambodia. It is also become clear that these communities have not been integrated with the rest of Cambodian society. The PA team’s work focuses on determining whether individuals within these insular, former Khmer Rouge communities can be humanized after being such staunch supporters of the bloody Khmer Rouge regime. The team is currently drafting a book and photo exhibition of portraits of the individuals interviewed as part of this project entitled “Humanizing Perpetrators: Is It Possible?” Additionally, an international exhibition tour of photographs of family life in these communities, contrasting past and present portraits of former Khmer Rouge cadres and their families, is currently being developed.
