    ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY OF CAMBODIA REPORT ON POWER SECTOR OF THE KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA 2013 EDITION Compiled by Electricity Authority of Cambodia from Data for the Year 2012 received from Licensees Electricity Authority of Cambodia ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY OF CAMBODIA REPORT ON POWER SECTOR OF THE KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA 2013 EDITION Compiled by Electricity Authority of Cambodia from Data for the Year 2012 received from Licensees Report on Power Sector for the Year 2012 0 Electricity Authority of Cambodia Preface The Annual Report on Power Sector of the Kingdom of Cambodia 2013 Edition is compiled from informations for the year 2012 availble with EAC and received from licensees, MIME and other organizations in the power sector. The data received from some licensees may not up to the required level of accuracy and hence the information provided in this report may be taken as indicative. This report is for dissemination to the Royal Government, institutions, investors and public desirous to know about the situation of the power sector of the Kingdom of Cambodia during the year 2012. With addition of more HV transmission system and MV sub-transmission system, more and more licensees are getting connected to the grid supply. This has resulted in improvement in the quality of supply to more consumers. By end of 2012, more than 91% of the consumers are connected to the grid system. More licensees are now supplying electricity for 24 hours a day. The grid supply has reduced the cost of supply and consequently the tariff for supply to consumers. Due to lower cost and other measures taken by Royal Government of Cambodia, in 2012 there has been a substantial increase in the number of consumers availing electricity supply.

  • RRA REPORT on WATERSHEDS in PURSAT and KAMPONG CHHNANG PROVINCES Watershed Profile
    Page 1 of 13 Regional Environmental Technical Assistance 5771 Poverty Reduction & Environmental Management in Remote Greater Mekong Subregion Watersheds Project (Phase I) RRA REPORT ON WATERSHEDS IN PURSAT AND KAMPONG CHHNANG PROVINCES Watershed Profile By Ieng Sovannora 1.0 Introduction, Rationale and Objectives 1.1 Introduction Pursat province (previously called Potisat), approximately 200 km from Phnom Penh and close to Tonle Sap, has one of Cambodia’s prime watersheds. Its protection would contribute to the protection of two wildlife sanctuaries in the area – Orall Mountain and Sam Kos. Prior to the field survey, the Study Team met the Minister of Environment, responsible for watershed management (a high priority) and wildlife sanctuaries, e.g., Orall National Park, and the Director of the Forestry Department. The Minister recommended a focus on Orall mountain. The Forestry Department, which works closely with the Ministry of Environment and other agencies, such as: CONCERN, WORLDWIDE, UNDP/CARE, and MCC, supports development of forest communities, e.g., in community forestry training and reforestation. Key Forest Department strategies are to: Eliminate "anarchic" deforestation, particularly by large-scale logging; Strengthen sustainable forest management practices; Manage forest resources and promote reforestation. Three big forest concession companies operate in Pursat: Superwood (94,499 Ha), Youri Sakor (196,310 Ha), and Great International (163,200 Ha), however, of these only the Superwood Forest Concession Company is more or less permanent and is constructing a wood processing factory. 1.2 Rationale for the study Pursat province watershed with an area of 2,423 sq. km, supports a population of 357,172, mostly poor people, 70% of whom (80% women) are considered to be at or below the poverty line.

  • Summary of Seven Human Rights Activist Profiles CCHR's Protecting
    Summary of Seven Human Rights Activist Profiles CCHR’s Protecting Fundamental Freedoms Project releases a series of human rights activist profiles. These profiles tell the stories of people who have devoted their lives to improving respect for human rights in Cambodia. Despite facing harassment, intimidation, threats and imprisonment as a result of their activism, these people continue to struggle on behalf of their communities. Their stories are just a few examples of the countless activists and human rights defenders who tirelessly defend and promote human rights causes across Cambodia. These profiles have been documented from 2015 to 2017 and can be viewed here. CCHR profiled 18 human rights activists living in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Preah Vihear, Kampong Thom, Preah Sihanouk, Koh Kong, Kampong Spue, Oudar Meanchey, and Kandal provinces. Ms. Kheiv Chenda – Housing and Land Rights Activist Ms. Khiev Chenda, 46, is a representative of the Boeung Chhouk Community in Russey Keo district, Phnom Penh. On 8 March 2009, the authorities of Russey Keo district ordered the destruction of six villagers’ houses in Boeung Chhouk. Since the incident took place, the Boeung Chhouk community received multiple intimidations. In 2012, Ms. Chenda and three other community representatives were summoned by Phnom Penh Municipal Court, allegedly charged with violence committed against the real property owner in 2009. However, the charge was dropped in June 2015. 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 …”.
