Download Content English In Biography of Kheiv Chenda Housing and Land Rights Activist Ms. Kheiv Chenda, representative of Boeung Chhouk Community, currently lives in Toul Por Pe village, Sangkat Toul Sangke II, Khan Russey Keo, Phnom Penh. She was born in 1971 in Sampor village, Svay Ang Commune, Svay Chrum district, Svay Rieng province. At that time, her father was a commune chief but he was killed by the Khmer Rouge regime. She joined school in 1984 and decided to stop at grade 7 at Svay Pa-em high school in Svay Rieng province in 1990 in order to help her mother’s business. Currently, she is a widow and her daughter is a garment factory worker in Phnom Penh. In 1996, Ms. Chenda went to Phnom Penh with her sister to work as a construction worker. She worked there until 2014. Ms. Chenda spent some of her income to rent a room with her sister until 1997 when she acquired possession of a land and built a small house located in Boeung Chhouk village, Sangkat Toul Sangke, Khan Russey Keo (the location name changed to Toul Por Pe village, Sangkat Toul Sangke II in 2015) without obstruction from the authorities. 12 years later, on 8 March 2009, about 200 forces from Khan Russey Keo, including policemen, military policemen and private security forces, had destroyed 6 houses of villagers without prior notification. They notified the villagers they should remove the remains of the houses by themselves and come to the district office for a meeting within three days. They said that villagers were illegally living on state land. Ms. Chenda said: “March 8th is the International Women’s Day that everyone celebrates all over the world, but for my community, it is the day we suffered because of the eviction …”. After the incident, Ms. Kheiv Chenda collected money and gathered villagers to prepare a petition to Prime Minister Hun Sen. At that time, they created a community aiming at protecting housing and land rights from abuses and at seeking support from local NGOs. Thanks to her courage and her determination to protect housing rights, Chenda was elected as community representative in 2009. On 12 May 2010, more than one year after the destruction of the 6 houses, Russey Keo authorities notified villagers that they were living on an occupiedownership land. Furthermore, on 12 July 2012, Phnom Penh Municipal Court summoned four villagers including Ms. Kheiv Chenda, allegedly charged with violence against the real property owner, in 2009. At that time, however, the accused did not know land owner. Her case had proceeded last for almost three years with legal representation from a local NGO until the charge was dropped on 23 June 2015. Even then, Mr. Lao Tongny remained unknown. Since the dispute at Boeung Chhouk community in 2009, the community received multiple threats. In 2014, fires erupted in 26 houses and in 2015 sand was dumped over four houses and villagers were accused of living on a public road even if the land was fenced as a private belonging. Regarding this land dispute, the Boeung Chhouk community filed a complaint and a petition to national level institutions, but there is no resolution yet. However, in May 2016, the authority measured the land and gave villagers their land certificate. This document was just an identification to show to Phnom Penh authority in order to get a new land of a 4m x 15m. The location of the land they would get remained unknown. On 28 December 2016, Ms. Chenda and her community requested the Phnom Penh authority to show the location of that land. Ms. Kheiv Chenda is concerned that one day she will be imprisoned because of her advocacy for housing rights. However, she will never stop her activism and leave her land where she has been legally living since 1997. She is optimistic that the new governor of Phnom Penh Municipality will offer an acceptable solution for victims without making people cry. .

Mr. Im Sethy taught Physics in 1965. From January 28 to February 4, 2011, the Documentation Center of Cambodia’s (DC- Cam’s) Genocide Education Project in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport conducted quality control on the teaching of “A History of Democratic Kampuchea (1975-1979)” in Prey Veng and Svay Rieng provinces. The team consisting of three members observed actual classroom teaching in six high schools of the two provinces in order to assess the effectiveness and challenges of teaching Democratic Kampuchea history in Cambodian classrooms and provide feedback to teachers for improvement. From June 2009 to the present, DC-Cam in collaboration with the Ministry of Education has trained 1,054 secondary school history teachers from 18 provinces of Cambodia. Among these, eleven provincial teachers from Prey Veng and nine other provincial teachers from Svay Rieng received training on November 27-December 7, 2009. Moreover, 97 commune teachers from Prey Veng received training on May 8- 14, 2010, and 100 commune teachers from Svay Rieng received training on June 24- 30, 2010. The teachers, though they have completed the training, remain concerned not only about the complex social and ethical issues, nature and political sensitivity of teaching Khmer Rouge history but also about their capacity to teach it in an effective manner.

    Assigned by Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Base Study on Impact of Population Issue on Agriculture and Rural Development ―KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA― Focus on Phnom Penh and Svay Rieng Province March 2007 The Asian Population and Development Association (APDA) Foreword This report is the product of “Base Study on Impact of Population Issue on Agriculture and Rural Development” consigned by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to Asian Population and Development Association (APDA) in fiscal 2006 and was conducted in the Kingdom of Cambodia. The study and coordination were mainly performed by the domestic review panel created within APDA and headed by Dr. Shigeto Kawano, Professor Emeritus, Tokyo University. Reduction of poverty and starvation as well as securing of sustainability are the pressing challenges included in the U.N. Millennium Development Goals requiring the support of international community and are positioned as priority item in Japan’s ODA Outline. The important tasks are deeply related to population issues including rapid population increase as well as rural-urban and urban-rural migration and various forms of inter-sectoral cooperation are being implemented to address these issues. For this reason, a broad range of information was collected in this study and problems were sorted out with regard to population issues in developing countries in order to propose the policy and points to keep in mind when offering cooperation in the field of agriculture, forestry and fisheries in the future as well as actual ideas of cooperation.

  • EAO HAZARD MONITORING SUMMARY REPORT (August) Date: 16/08/2016 Introduction
    EAO HAZARD MONITORING SUMMARY REPORT (August) Date: 16/08/2016 Introduction: This is the fifth summary of hazard monitoring report for 2016. The reporting period covers 1st to 15th August 2016. As part of WFP’s revised Food Security Assessment plan in Cambodia, hazard monitoring activities are to be carried out from the 1st of June till the end of October each year. The idea behind this report is to ensure that the CO team is fully abreast of any imminent or ongoing hazards at field level that potentially affect food security of target populations. During the period under review, programme staff (as a routine) established contact with key representatives of Provincial and District Committee for Disaster Management (P/DCDM) or Provincial Department of Agriculture (PDA). A. Rainfalls/ Droughts/Climate patterns: Cambodia is under the influence of La Nina which impacts the global/ regional climate and disrupts normal weather patterns, which as a result can lead to intense storms in some places. Rainfalls appeared to be fair but sparsely a bit late in all provinces; the rainfalls sometimes are accompanied by mild and/or strong storms/ thunderstorms that cause concerns over human safety and house damage/ overturns. In addition, there is no any information on drought at this moment. There was a flush flood from upper part of Mondul Kiri province and it caused serious damage of a 70-m rural road and a wooden bridge located at Chruos Chrov Posal village, Kranhoung Senchey commune, Snuol District (Kratie province) on 12 August. This road leads the National Road No. 74 to Vietnam border.
