January 2015 2 2. Application text Structure: A. THE PARTNERS A.1 The Danish organisation ADDA has worked extensively with agricultural development, empowering women and strengthening of civil society organisations in Cambodia since 1996. ADDA has also implemented numerous projects in Vietnam and Tanzania. So far, Danida/CISU has supported 18 projects with a total of more than 125 million DKK. Additionally, ADDA has received two projects from EU and one from the World Bank, please see Annex A for an elaboration. ADDA has transferred knowledge on best agricultural practices, marketing and improved business opportunities; established - or strengthened - independent and democratic self-help-groups and agricultural cooperatives comprising rural poor; to create awareness of their rights; and to advocate for their interests. ADDA combines an activity and a process-intervention strategy. The activity strategy addresses areas that directly aim to improve food and livelihood situation of poor families. The process-intervention is building the capacity of partner organizations, civil society organisations and other stakeholders to improve livelihood of rural poor, and to influence local and provincial decision-making. This is accomplished by; (i) building advocacy capacity; (ii) facilitating interactions between villagers, authorities and other duty bearers and (iii) promoting positive changes in rural communities according to priorities of the poor. ADDA has a practical approach to agricultural development and organising poor rural communities into democratic organisations that gradually gain significant capacity to advocate on behalf of the poor community. Common for all ADDA’s projects is a bottom-up approach where the local community is strengthened, agricultural production increases which significantly decreases food insecurity and improve livelihood among poor people. ADDA train locals to become trainers of the target groups, since this is a good way to keep knowledge within the communities, and to secure trainers with valuable knowledge on local conditions and habits. The ADDA board, which is the core of the Danish organisation, has a strong professional approach regarding development and agriculture. During the implementation of projects in Cambodia, ADDA has built effective partnership with local institutions (e.g. Ministry and Department of Agriculture, Department of Women Affairs, Public vocational training centers) local partner organizations (e.g. READA, Banteay Srei, RCEDO, CIDO and KBA) and NGOs in Siem Reap. ADDA is also a member of various networks in Denmark and Cambodia: The Danish NGO education network, the Danish Vietnamese Association, Civil Society In Development (CISU), the Cambodian gender and development network, the National climate change network, the coordination forum on food security (DEU). ADDA has a long experience on SHG formation and working with empowering women in Cambodia. Experience include: “Integrated Women Empowerment Project” (IWEP I and II from 2005-2013), “Livelihood Enhancement and Association of the Poor” (LEAP from 2009-2011), “Innovative approaches to food insecurity for urban and peri-urban poor in Siem Reap” (INFOSE from 2011 to 2015), “Cooperative and Civil Society Development in Siem Reap” (COCIS from 2014 til 2016), Strengthening and Consolidation og Women Microcredit Groups (CWM) and “Empowerment of civil society advocating for the rights of the urban poor in Siem Reap” (CISUP from 2014 to 2016). ADDA has worked extensively to strengthen the civil society; reaching out to more than 30.000 poor farmers, primarily women. ADDA has contributed to the formation of 175 SHGs and 10 ACs in Siem Reap. From these projects, and similar projects in Vietnam, ADDA has gained significant experience on project interventions similar to the current project proposal. A.3 The local organisation The project is implemented in close cooperation between READA in Siem Reap (SR) and the three local NGOs in Oddar Meanchey (ODM) in order to strengthen a dynamic, diverse and democratic civil society in ODM. The local NGOs in ODM comprises (i) CIDO covering Koak Khpos and Koak Mon commune in Banteay Ampil district, (ii) KBA covering Chong Kal and Samrong districts and (iii) RCEDO covering Anlong Veng and Trapeang Prasat districts. READA is transferring knowledge from SR and building further organisational capacity and advocacy skills of the NGOs based in ODM (reference to figure 1). THE CIVIL SOCIETY FUND – Major development project (DKK 500,000 to 5 million), rev. January 2015 3 READA - partner of ADDA: Transfer of COCIS concept from Siem Reap to Oddar READA Menchey. Project implementation. Local NGOs in ODM: Technical training, strenghten SHGs and develop strong ACs/civil society organisations in different geographical CIDO RCEDO KBA areas of Oddar Menchey. Organisationsal and advocacy capacity significantly built Capacity of 100 SHGs and 9 ACs strenghtened: SHG 1, 2.. to SHG 33 SHG 34.... to SHG 77 SHG 78.... to SHG 100 Income generation, improved food security, SHGs/ACs are developed. Advocacy on behalf of AC 1, 2 and AC 3 AC 4, 5 and 6 AC 7, 8 and AC 9 poor pepole significantly improve. Figure 1: The local organisation. Capacity of CIDO, RCEDO and KBA is further built during CISOM II, in line with lessons learned during implementation of similar actions in SR, e.g. IWEP, COCIS, INFOSE, CISUP and CISOM I. The local NGOs in ODM are very experienced and they have been operating from 13 to over 17 years on a number of projects related to agriculture, food security, community development & community based organizations, good governance, water and sanitation. They are thus very familiar with local conditions, they have outstanding sector specific expertise and long standing relationships with project stakeholder’s e.g. they have strong relationship with local authorities, target groups/final beneficiaries, NGOs and projects in ODM and they possess technical expertise very suitable for the implementation of the CISOM II project in ODM. Reference is made to organisational factsheets - annex B - for further details. CISOM will definitely help raise the profiles of the project partners as civil society actors. A.4 The cooperative relationship and its prospects ADDA and READA have cooperated since 2009 on the implementation of IWEP II, COCIS, CWM and CISOM in SR and ODM Provinces. READA has gradually taken over full leadership of project activities, which include strategic services, capacity building, formation of SHGs and Agricultural Cooperatives (ACs) and advocacy on behalf of poor people. A well-functioning partnership is established between ADDA, READA and the local NGOs in ODM since May 2010 (Reference is made to the final CISOM

  • A History of the Anlong Veng Community a History Of
    A HIstoRy Of Anlong Veng CommunIty A wedding in Anlong Veng in the early 1990s. (Cover photo) Aer Vietnamese forces entered Cambodia in 1979, many Khmer Rouge forces scaered to the jungles, mountains, and border areas. Mountain 1003 was a prominent Khmer Rouge military base located within the Dangrek Mountains along the Cambodian-Thai border, not far from Anlong Veng. From this military base, the Khmer Rouge re-organized and prepared for the long struggle against Vietnamese and the People’s Republic of Kampuchea government forces. Eventually, it was from this base, Khmer Rouge forces would re-conquer and sele Anlong Veng in early 1990 (and a number of other locations) until their re-integration into Cambodian society in late 1998. In many ways, life in Anlong Veng was as difficult and dangerous as it was in Mountain 1003. As one of the KR strongholds, Anlong Veng served as one of the key launching points for Khmer Rouge guerrilla operations in Cambodia, and it was subject to constant aacks by Cambodian government forces. Despite the perilous circumstances and harsh environment, the people who lived in Anlong Veng endeavored, whenever possible, to re-connect with and maintain their rich cultural heritage. Tossed from the seat of power in 1979, the Khmer Rouge were unable to sustain their rigid ideo- logical policies, particularly as it related to community and family life. During the Democratic Movement of the Khmer Rouge Final Stronghold Kampuchea regime, 1975–79, the Khmer Rouge prohibited the traditional Cambodian wedding ceremony. Weddings were arranged by Khmer Rouge leaders and cadre, who oen required mass ceremonies, with lile regard for tradition or individual distinction.

  • History a Work in Progress in One-Time KR Stronghold May Titthara January 25, 2011
    History a work in progress in one-time KR stronghold May Titthara January 25, 2011 Sitting under a tree outside Malai High School, 20-year-old Phen Soeurm offers a dismissive approach to his history class typical of many his age. As the teacher lectures, “the class just listens without paying attention at all,” Phen Soeurm says. “They just want to kill time.” Here in this dusty district of Banteay Meanchey province, however, there is more to this phenomenon than a simple case of student laziness. The lecture in question covers the history of the Democratic Kampuchea regime, an understandably sensitive topic in this former Khmer Rouge stronghold. “Most students don’t want to study Khmer Rouge history because they don’t want to be reminded of what happened, and because all of their parents are former Khmer Rouge,” Phen Soeurm said. In schools throughout the Kingdom, the introduction of KR-related material has been a sensitive project. Prior to last year, high school history tests drew from a textbook that gave short shrift to the regime and its history, omitting some of the most basic facts about it. But on the 2010 national history exam, five of the 14 questions dealt with the Khmer Rouge period. In addition to identifying regime leaders, students are asked to explain why it is said that Tuol Sleng prison was a tragedy for the Cambodian people; who was behind Tuol Sleng; how the administrative zones of Democratic Kampuchea were organised; and when the regime was in power. These new additions to the exam follow the 2007 introduction of a government-approved textbook created by the Documentation Centre of Cambodia titled A History of Democratic Kampuchea.

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.

This dissertation argues that recent moves by the Cambodian government to transform this site into an "historical-tourist area" is overwhelmingly dominated by commercial priorities. However, the tourism project simultaneously effects an historical narrative that inherits but transforms the government's historiographic endeavors that immediately followed Democratic Kampuchea's 1979 ousting.
