  • A Second Complaint
    Osvaldo Gratacós Vice President Office of the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman International Finance Corporation 2121 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20433 USA Tel: + 1 202-458-1973 Fax: +1 202-522-7400 e-mail: [email protected] March 12, 2019 Dear Vice President Gratacós, Re: Complaint concerning IFC investments in Tien Phong Commercial Joint Stock Bank (TPBank) and Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank) 1. Inclusive Development International (IDI), Equitable Cambodia (EC), Highlanders Association (HA) and Indigenous Rights Active Members (IRAM) are submitting this complaint to the Office of the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman on behalf of communities adversely affected by a sub-project of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) through financial intermediary clients Tien Phong Commercial Joint Stock Bank (TPBank) and Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank). Authorizations of representation accompany this letter of complaint. 2. The complainants are 12 communities in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia who have suffered serious harm as a result of the activities of Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL), a Vietnamese company operating in Cambodia through several wholly-owned subsidiaries. 3. The villages are located in the districts of Andong Meas and O’Chum. The villages consist mainly of Jarai, Kachok, Tampuon, and Kreung peoples, who identify as and are in many cases legally recognized by the government as Indigenous Communities. They are traditionally animist, and their culture, livelihoods and identities are intimately tied to the land, forests and other natural resources of the region. The communities practice shifting cultivation and rely heavily on forest resources for their livelihoods. The name, location and other characteristics of each village are set out in Annex 1.

  • Sociolinguistic Survey of Jarai in Ratanakiri, Cambodia
    Sociolinguistic survey of Jarai in Ratanakiri, Cambodia Eric Pawley Mee-Sun Pawley International Cooperation Cambodia November 2010 2007-02 Jarai Survey Report v1.2.odt Printed 9. Oct. 2013 i Abstract Eric Pawley [Phnom Penh, Cambodia] This paper presents the report of a sociolinguistic survey of the Jarai variety spoken in Ratanakiri province, Cambodia. Jarai is one of the major “Montagnard” groups of the Vietnamese southern highlands. While Jarai numbers in Cambodia are much smaller, it is still one of the largest highland minority groups. This paper investigates the dialects used among the Jarai speakers in Ratanakiri province, their abilities in Khmer, and their attitudes towards language development. The data indicates that a minority of Jarai can speak some Khmer, but very few can read or write in either Khmer or Jarai. Nearly everyone interviewed expressed interest in learning to read and write Jarai. While many prefer the Roman script used by Jarai in Vietnam over the creation of a new Khmer- based script, most said that they would still be interested in learning a new script if it were made. There are only minor dialect differences between Jarai in Cambodia, but much greater differences with some varieties of Jarai spoken in Vietnam. ii Table of Contents 1 Introduction......................................................................................................................................1 1.1 Geography.................................................................................................................................1
