This project is classified as Category B for Environment; Category C for Involuntary Resettlement (IR); and Category C for Indigenous Peoples (IPs) as per ADB SPS 2009. An Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) has been conducted as part of project preparation in accordance with the Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). During the Project’s feasibility studies preparation and detailed design stages, there were no identified persons/households (land, assets) that will be affected since the road project will rehabilitate existing rural roads. However, a Resettlement Framework (RF) has been prepared for guidance and/or compliance by the contractor should there be social safeguards- related impacts that may arise during the road construction stage. There are no IPs that will be affected in the Project area. 3. Please add a paragraph on the DDR prepared/disclosed in April 2020 for additional 28 roads equivalence to about 79.29 km.A due diligence on social safeguards for additional twenty-eight (28)1 roads equivalent to 79.29 kilometers was conducted in December 2019.

The objective of this study was to examine the general situation of Cambodian agriculture by comparing with neighboring countries in Southeast Asia from a period of 22 years (1996 – 2018) through cultivate areas, technical using, technologies using, fertilizer using, agricultural infrastructure system, agricultural production cost, agricultural output, agricultural market and climate change. The results show that the Cambodian agriculture sector is still at a level where there is significant need to improve the capacity of farmers, the new technologies use and the prevention of climate change. However, the production cost is still high cost and agricultural output has been in low prices. It also causes for farmers to lose confidence in farming and they will be stop working in the sector. Moreover, we also have other policies to improve agriculture sector in Cambodia. JEL classifications : F13, O13, Q13, Q16, Q18. Keywords: Agricultural Development, Agricultural Policy, Agricultural Technology, Intensive Farming, Farmer Education. * For their useful comments and suggestions, we thanks Dr. Saing Chanhang, Paul Angles, Dr. Sam Vicheat, Phay Thonnimith and the participants at the 5th Annual NBC Macroeconomics Conference: Broadening Sources of Cambodia’s Growth.

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.
