A reservoir with a nominal live storage volume of 110 MCM was formed during the Khmer Rouge period. The purpose of this reservoir was to supply water to some 10,000 ha in the wet season and 5,500 ha in the dry. The Link Canal Subproject involves the construction of Headworks taking water from the Mongkol Borey River, the restoration of 7.0 km. of the old canal and the creation of 7.0 km of new canal to the reservoir. Consideration will also be given at the design stage to the creation of a secondary canal system above and in the draw-down area of the reservoir to provide dry season irrigation for villages located in and on the edge of the reservoir losing land due to annual reservoir filling. A Corridor of Impact (COI) of the main canal works, of average width of 40 m., will be cleared of all people and structures and agricultural or other activity for the length of the canal for purposes of the reconstruction of the existing link canal, the construction of the new canal and their embankments and ancillary works. The COI, including areas required outside the main canal works, has been marked out as a basis for conducting a detailed measurement survey of land of people affected by the project (APs) and as a means of identifying and providing information to APs. Four hundred and fifty-one households, approximately 2,300 people, will be affected by the Project. There are one hundred and thirty-five houses in the COI of the canal. One hundred and thirty-five houses in the COI of the headworks and canal and further sixty-two houses in the area of the reservoir, a total of one hundred and ninety-seven houses, are estimated to require relocation. A total of 25.5 ha. Agricultural land will be acquired in the canal COI, requiring replacement or compensation. There will be a loss of wet season land use of about 1,338 ha. In the reservoir area, affecting some 316 APs with houses in Anlong Svay and Tar Ngern villages on areas to the north and south of the reservoir or along the right bank of the Anlong Svay Stream on the present fringes of the reservoir. Some of this farmed land in the reservoir is owned by army units who are renting this land out to farmers. Because topographical data and alignments, and the design and effects of mitigating measures, have not been available during the feasibility resettlement study, it has not been possible to establish precise impact and requirements for compensation, land replacement for the reservoir area. On a provisional basis the Indicative IRP provides for one half of current land use, 669 ha., to be compensated or replaced, but this figure will be amended on the basis of a full DMS cadastral and land use study and decisions on any measures for dry season irrigation in the recession area to be taken during the detailed design study. The aim of the project is for none of this land, now irregularly flood-prone, to be fully lost to APs, and to optimise dry season cropping to provide a reliable farming system. Mitigating measures, which would include a drainage canal to divert water at present flowing from the mountain above Anlong Svay, which contributes to the flooding of the 40 houses also affected by high reservoir levels, and irrigation of dry season cultivation of farms now to be inundated in the wet season in the reservoir area, will be appraised for inclusion in detailed project design 1 Supplementary Appendix H.1 To mitigate the disruption of houses, both in the COI of the canal and along the edge of the reservoir, along the Prekh Anlong Svay right bank, house sites will be provided and houses replaced with new materials at full replacement costs at locations permitting the restoration of social and economic activity of the concerned households at least their level of livelihood prior to project works. Compensation costs are provisionally calculated on the basis of the expected need to replace a total of 197 houses. Provision is made for the replacement of or compensation for a total of 25.5 ha agricultural land along the canal. For purposes of the IRP and for the estimation of compensation it is assumed that one half of 1,338 ha in the reservoir, 669 ha. will be compensated or replaced. The total cost of IRP implementation is estimated to be US$286,343. This includes $30,400 for the administrative costs of IRP implementation, of which $12,000 is for an independent External Monitor, who will be contracted for all NWISP sub-project monitoring and evaluation throughout the project duration. The draft Indicative Resettlement Plan (IRP) has been prepared for the project in accordance with ADB Guidelines on Involuntary Resettlement, and provides a framework within which the households negatively affected by land acquisition and the displacement of structures are identified, their location and assets recorded, compensation entitlements defined, and implementation and monitoring mechanisms explained. The draft IRP has been prepared on the basis of consultation between MOWRAM, the Inter- Ministerial Resettlement Committee, the Provincial Resettlement Sub-Committee of the Province of Battambang and APs. It has been based on preliminary identification and registration of APs and a detailed measurement survey of AP livelihoods and property affected by the project in the headworks and link canal, including a socio-economic survey of AP households and a cadastral survey of their houses and land. The purpose of the socio-economic survey was to identiify the social characteristics and livelihood sources of households in the COI, including the identification of vulnerable households, specifically for purpose of calculating entitlements and taking any mitigating measures to maintain and restore livelihoods and assets. These studies have been further assisted by two other surveys conducted as part of the feasibility studies: social and agricultural surveys reported in Annex A of the Final Report, which have provided detailed data on households in the wider project village and commune areas; and a detailed socio-economic survey of 20% of households in the COI to provide a baseline for monitoring and evaluation, the results of which are reported on in Section 3 below and set out in full in an annex to this report. Topographical mapping of the reservoir, done during the feasibility study, has permitted the drawing of contours and the definition of areas, including agricultural and residential areas, which will seasonally be flooded in the reservoir. The topographical survey results did not permit an early enough alignment to be drawn in the reservoir to conduct any DMS for Anlong Svay or Tar Ngern affected households and no figures are available for Army ownership of land rented to villagers in the reservoir area.

  • Cambodia: Human Rights Before and After the Elections
    May 1993 Vol.5 No.10 CAMBODIA: HUMAN RIGHTS BEFORE AND AFTER THE ELECTIONS I. INTRODUCTION Cambodians will go to the polls on May 23 in an atmosphere of political and ethnic violence and renewed civil war. The elections are the culmination of a 17-month United Nations presence, the largest, most ambitious and most expensive peace-keeping effort ever, which was supposed to bring about an end to the conflict. Instead, Cambodia is faced with as much fighting as when the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) entered the country in March 1992, and a spiralling level of serious human rights abuses. The "neutral political environment" that was supposed to be the precondition for elections is entirely absent. The five permanent members of the Security Council and other drafters of the 1991 Paris peace accords, formally known as the Agreements on a Comprehensive Political Settlement of the Cambodia Conflict, are determined to go ahead with the elections regardless. But what happens on May 23 is almost less important than what happens in the days after the results are announced. Asia Watch believes that an analysis of the missteps that led to the current human rights situation is critically important to determining how, or perhaps whether, human rights of Cambodians can be protected under whatever government comes to power then. The reasons for the deterioration in the human rights situation in late 1992 and early 1993 are complex. None of the parties to the conflict has a history of respect for human rights and one, Democratic Kampuchea, better known as the Khmer Rouge, has one of the worst human rights records in modern history.

  • Cambodia: Comfrel's Report on Irregularities in Voter List Revision
    Cambodia: Comfrel’s Report on Irregularities in Voter List Revision and Voter Registration During the process of voter list revision and voter registration for 2007, lasting from September 15 to October 20, 2007, COMFREL has deployed around 200 observers to observe in 400 communes/sangkats across 24 provinces/cities.1 In general, COMFREL observes that both the political and security environment have been improved, although some voters used to or have felt concerns about insecurity, as in previous pre-national election periods. COMFREL highly appreciates the efforts of the National Election Committee (NEC) and officials at all levels, especially village and commune authorities, who have been carrying out voter list revision and voter registration. In some communes, clerks and councils have worked together to create mobile registration working groups to register voters in villages. However, COMFREL observes that the speed of voter registration this year is slower than that of last year. According to NEC temporary results, dated September 28, 2007, by September 26, 2007, in 1,608 communes/sangkats across 24 provinces/cities, the number of newly registered voters was 233,776, which represents 34% of the NEC estimate of 682,459. For the same period in 2006, the rate of voter registration was 47% (273,477 of an estimated 577,205 new voters to be registered). Meanwhile, COMFREL has doubts about the NEC’s unclear estimation on the number of voters to be registered, as the NEC made a wrong estimation number of new voters to be registered in 2006 (estimating around 570,000 new voters while in reality the number had increased to 1.2 million).

  • 30 November 2005 Abstract
    Towards a Transport Infrastructure Management System Wielinga SEMINAR: SUSTAINABLE ACCESS AND LOCAL RESOURCE SOLUTIONS Date: 28 – 30 November 2005 TITLE: Towards a Transport Infrastructure Management System (TIMS) AUTHOR: Doekle Wielinga, Chief Technical Advisor, Income Recovery Technical Assistance Programme, ILO, Sri Lanka ADDRESS FOR COMMUNICATION: Doekle Wielinga, ILO, Chief Technical Advisor Income Recovery Technical Assistance Programme P.O. Box 1205 Colombo Sri Lanka Abstract The Cambodian rural infrastructure sector is facing a number of problems. Among these are: a not fully defined legal framework; unclear definition of responsibilities; lack of updated road inventories; limited local implementation capacity; inadequate design standards, insufficient and inadequate and slow maintenance funding and disbursement mechanism. There is thus a need for the development of an efficient, cost-effective and locally applicable maintenance management system. The paper briefs on the status of the institutionalization and mainstreaming of the Ministry’s of Rural Development (MRD) planning tool: Integrated Rural Accessibility Planning (IRAP) and focuses on the application of the Transport Infrastructure Inventory (TII) as an appropriate tool to develop a rural road inventory and prioritization of maintenance and rehabilitation at district level. It is proposed that TII can form the basis of a more comprehensive Transport Infrastructure Management Tool (TIMS) by including design standards, budgeting and financial forecasting. It is argued that such a TIMS will guarantee local community involvement in prioritization of rural infrastructure; that a rational decision is made between roads or service infrastructure that are local-resource based; that local communities, government and others mobilize resources and provides a transparent and cost- effective monitoring mechanism that would increase the confidence of stakeholders in administration of rural roads.

Abstract: The aims of this study are to measure the technical efficiency (TE) of Cambodian household’s rice production and trying to determine its main influencing factors using the stochastic frontier production function. The study utilized primary data collected from 301 rice farmers in three selected districts of Battambang by structured questionnaires. The empirical results indicated the level of household rice output varied according to differences in the efficiency of production processes. The mean TE is 0.34 which means that famers produce 34% of rice at best practice at the current level of production inputs and technology, indicates that rice output has the potential of being increased further by 66% at the same level of inputs if farmers had been technically efficient. Furthermore, between 2013-2015 TE of household’s rice production recorded -14.3% decline rate due to highly affected of drought during dry season of 2015.

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Technical Efficiency Analysis of Cambodian Household's Rice Production By Sokvibol Kea, Hua Li & Linvolak Pich College of Economics and Management Abstract- The aims of this study are to measure the technical efficiency (TE) of Cambodian household’s rice production and its main influencing factors using SFA model. Primary data was collected from 301 rice farmers in three selected districts of Battambang by structured questionnaires. The empirical results indicated the mean TE is 0.34 which means famers produce 34% of rice at best practice at the current level of production inputs and technology, reveling that rice output has the potential of being increased further by 66% at the same level of inputs if farmers had been technically efficient. Evidence also reveals that land, fertilizer, and pesticide are the major influencing input factors of household’s rice production. However, between 2013 and 2015 TE recorded -14.3% decline rate due to highly affected of drought during dry season of 2015.
