  • Decentralised Solid Waste Management in Kampot
    Decentralised Solid Waste Management in Kampot Towards a realistic, sustainable, feasible and implementable solid waste management system in Kampot Background Kampot Province is located on the south-west coast of Cambodia. It is almost 5,000km2 and comprises of 7 districts and 1 municipality (Kampot City). To- gether the 7 districts are made of 88 communes while Krong Kampot (the city) further constitutes of 5 sangkats (totalling 93). Source: http://www.opendevelopmentcambodia.net/maps/ The last population census in 2008 found that Kampot Province supported nearly 600,000 people, while Kampot Municipality had a population of approximately 40,000. 86% of the population in the Province are employed in the primary sec- tor, 3% in the secondary sector and 11% in the tertiary sector. In the Municipal- ity; 30% are employed in the primary sector, 14% in the secondary and 56% in 13-11-14_Kampot Workshop preparation draftGR2,DS.docx 1 / 15 the tertiary sector (Census, 2008). The main resources at the municipal level include tourism, coastal development and some industrial activity. Kampot City is well-known for its recent achievements in striving towards a sus- tainable and green city. It has been the chosen location for several ambitious pilot projects centring on recycling, composting, source waste management and awareness-raising of best environmental practice. However, there is an apparent lack of clear roles and responsibilities with regard to the management of solid waste between the provincial, municipal, district and sangkat/commune administrations. Furthermore, the coverage of waste collec- tion is lacking; informal roadside open dumpsites and illegal dumping into rivers are both a prevailing norm, as is ‘informal’ waste collection.

  • Tourism Demand Analysis
    Greater Mekong Subregion Tourism Infrastructure for Inclusive Growth Project (RRP CAM 46293-004) TOURISM DEMAND ANALYSIS A. Tourism Sector Context 1. International visitor arrivals in Cambodia reached 3.58 million in 2012, a 24% increase compared to 2011. While recent growth in arrivals has been remarkable, average length of stay has dropped by 6% to 6.3 days since 2008 and average daily spending is hovering at around $100 per day. The direct contribution of travel and tourism to GDP is 11.4% and is expected to be 11.5% of GDP in 2025. International tourism receipts reached a historic high of $2.2 billion in 2012, sustaining 782,500 jobs or 12.4% of total employment. About 60% of arrivals originate in Southeast and East Asia, with Viet Nam, the Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as significant source markets. Cambodia is one of the most visa-friendly destinations in the world, offering tourist visa-on-arrival for 179 countries and visa exemption for member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The government’s Tourism Development Strategic Plan 2012–2020 forecasts 7 million international arrivals in 2020 and prioritizes investment in the southern coastal corridor (Koh Kong, Sihanoukville, Kampot, and Kep), Mekong River corridor and Tonle Sap Lake, and protected areas in the Northeast and Cardamom Mountains. B. Tourism in Kampot Province 2. Kampot’s main tourist attractions are (i) Kampot Town’s riverside setting, colonial-era buildings and historic market; (ii) Preah Monivong (Bokor) National Park, with the Bokor Hill Station and recently opened integrated resort; (iii) salt and pepper farms; and (iv) Teuk Chhou Rapids and nearby durian plantations.

  • Cambodia 2018 International Religious Freedom Report
    CAMBODIA 2018 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution states Buddhism is the state religion, and it is promoted by the government through holiday observances, religious training, Buddhist instruction in public schools, and financial support to Buddhist institutions. The law provides for freedom of belief and religious worship, provided such freedom neither interferes with others’ beliefs and religions nor violates public order and security. The law does not allow non-Buddhist denominations to proselytize publicly. The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia sentenced former Khmer Rouge leaders Khieu Samphan and Noun Chea to life imprisonment for ethnic- and religious-based genocide against the ethnic Vietnamese and Cham populations during the Khmer Rouge era from 1975 to 1979. The government refused to allow the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to permanently accept a group of Christian Montagnards from Vietnam who came to the country to claim refugee status. There were reports local authorities discriminated against ethnic minorities in the country, including the primarily animist Phnong, such as threatening not to provide public services or sign legal documents. Villagers killed at least one person suspected of practicing sorcery due to his animist beliefs and practices. There were continued reports of societal barriers to the integration of the predominantly Muslim Cham ethnic minority as well as Christians. U.S. embassy officials discussed the importance of religious acceptance and diversity with government representatives, political party leaders, civil society organizations, and leaders of Buddhist, Christian, and Muslim groups. U.S. embassy officials raised religious freedom and tolerance with Ministry of Cults and Religion (MCR) representatives and other government officials.
