    PREFACE Ministry of Women's Affairs (MOWA) is the national machinery for promoting gender equity and women's empowerment. MOWA also acts a catalyst and advocate to encourage public institutions, civil society and private sector to integrate gender equity into their policies and programs. In this regard, MOWA has developed Neary Rattanak III, Five-Year Strategic Plan (2009-2013) for gender equity and empowerment of women in Cambodia. Project on Gender Mainstreaming, Phase 2 (PGM 2) has been implemented since September 2010 with supports by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Its Project Purpose is "Effective system for implementing women's economic empowerment activities by partner line ministries becomes operational with coordination of MOWA through strengthening gender mainstreaming mechanism".

Field interviews conducted near large-scale land concessions for industrial estates in the Red River Delta and rubber plantations in Northeast Cambodia suggest that these radically different concessions are paradoxically leading to similar reconfigurations of livelihoods, labor patterns, and landscapes despite basic differences in these forms of land use. Both the Red River Delta and Northeast Cambodia are frontier environments undergoing extensive agrarian change with migration to work in the large-scale land concessions leading to a shortage of farm labor that anticipates changes in farming practices and farm livelihoods.
