Kampot Province, Cambodia Overseas Fieldwork Report 2006 Kampot Province, Cambodia March 2007 Graduate School of International Development Nagoya University Nagoya, Japan Overseas Fieldwork Report 2006 Kampot City, Kampot Province, Cambodia Copyright @ 2007 Graduate School of International Development, Nagoya University Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, Japan 464-8601 http://www.gsid.nagoya-u.ac.jp/ Introduction The fifteenth Overseas Fieldwork Program (OFW 2006) of the Graduate School of International Development (GSID) at Nagoya University was carried out in Kampot Province of Cambodia from 31 August to 14 September 2006. This is the second OFW conducted in Cambodia, following one in Takeo Province in the last year. Both OFWs were successful, thanks largely to the cooperation we received from the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP). Eight students and four faculty members of RUPP participated in OFW 2006 and extended generous support and advice on the local conditions. On the part of GSID, five faculty members and 33 students participated, with additional seven students taking part as assistants in Nagoya and Cambodia. Participants were divided into four working groups: income generation (WG1), microfinance (WG2), education and health (WG3), and migration (WG4). The working groups conducted fieldwork in four villages in Kampong Trach District of Kampot Province. In the course of fieldwork students learned that many issues confronting the lives of the villagers were interrelated. At the end of fieldwork they shared their observations with the villagers and local authorities in order to get their feedback. Before going to Cambodia, students were required to take courses in preparatory lectures and fieldwork methods. The Foundation for Advanced Studies on International Development provided Project Cycle Management (PCM) courses, while Nevka Company offered a one-day workshop on Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). The preparatory lectures included a video conference on public health and migration connecting GSID and RUPP. The second video conference was organised between the two institutions to exchange views on the final outcomes of the studies. The present volume is a collection of the final reports written by the four working groups. Acknowledgements The OFW Committee 2006 is indebted to many individuals and institutions both in Cambodia and Japan. Above all, we are grateful to the people of Kampot Province. Our special thanks are due to villagers of the four villages we studied. The Governor and other officials and staff members of the Kampot Province, Kampong Trach District, and Kampong Trach Khang Lech Commune were very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. We are also grateful to non-governmental, commercial, and community organizations operating in the area which provided us with valuable information. i Faculty members and students of the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) were a crucial link between GSID and the local community. We are particularly grateful to Neth Barom, Vice-Rector of RUPP, Chhinh Sitha, Nith Bunlay, Nhong Hema, Khun Chanmony, Phal Des, and the eight students who participated in the program. Without their cooperation through the entire cycle of the program, it would not have been possible to see it through the end. Our thanks are also due to those who offered preparatory lectures to the program participants: Leng Hor of the Ministry of Health in Cambodia, Bunnak Poch of RUPP, Kenji Yotsumoto of Nagoya Keizai University, Kuong Teilee, Kenjiro Yagura and Ngov Penghuy of Nagoya University. Lastly, we wish to thank those at GSID who extended support to the OFW Committee 2006: Yoshihiko Nishimura, Dean, Kimiaki Takahashi, Atsuko Ohashi, Kenjiro Yagura, Muhtar Fukuda, Yoshihide Kato, Kelsey Lynn Haskins, Sushanthi Arachchige Kuruwita, and Ngov Penghuy among many others.

  • Rural Development for Cambodia Key Issues and Constraints
    Rural Development for Cambodia Key Issues and Constraints Cambodia’s economic performance over the past decade has been impressive, and poverty reduction has made significant progress. In the 2000s, the contribution of agriculture and agro-industry to overall economic growth has come largely through the accumulation of factors of production—land and labor—as part of an extensive growth of activity, with productivity modestly improving from very low levels. Despite these generally positive signs, there is justifiable concern about Cambodia’s ability to seize the opportunities presented. The concern is that the existing set of structural and institutional constraints, unless addressed by appropriate interventions and policies, will slow down economic growth and poverty reduction. These constraints include (i) an insecurity in land tenure, which inhibits investment in productive activities; (ii) low productivity in land and human capital; (iii) a business-enabling environment that is not conducive to formalized investment; (iv) underdeveloped rural roads and irrigation infrastructure; (v) a finance sector that is unable to mobilize significant funds for agricultural and rural development; and (vi) the critical need to strengthen public expenditure management to optimize scarce resources for effective delivery of rural services. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its Rural Development developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million for Cambodia struggling on less than $1.25 a day.

MATSUNAGA (Email: [email protected]) Summary The National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) and the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) have collaborated since 2014 under the Plant Genetic Resources in Asia (PGRAsia) project to survey the vegetable genetic resources available in Cambodia. As part of this project, three field surveys of Solanaceae crops were conducted in November 2014, 2015 and 2016 in western, eastern and northern Cambodia, respectively. In November 2017, we conducted a fourth field survey in southern Cambodia, including the Svay Rieng, Prey Veng, Kandal, Kampong Speu, Kou Kong, Sihanoukville, Kampot and Takeo provinces. We collected 56 chili pepper (20 Capsicum annuum, 36 C. frutescens) and 4 eggplant (4 Solanum spp.) fruit samples from markets, farmers’ yards, farmers’ fields and an open space. After harvesting seeds from the collected fruits, the seeds were divided equally and half were conserved in the CARDI and the other half were transferred to the Genetic Resource Center, NARO using the standard material transfer agreement (SMTA).

  • Decentralised Solid Waste Management in Kampot
    Decentralised Solid Waste Management in Kampot Towards a realistic, sustainable, feasible and implementable solid waste management system in Kampot Background Kampot Province is located on the south-west coast of Cambodia. It is almost 5,000km2 and comprises of 7 districts and 1 municipality (Kampot City). To- gether the 7 districts are made of 88 communes while Krong Kampot (the city) further constitutes of 5 sangkats (totalling 93). Source: http://www.opendevelopmentcambodia.net/maps/ The last population census in 2008 found that Kampot Province supported nearly 600,000 people, while Kampot Municipality had a population of approximately 40,000. 86% of the population in the Province are employed in the primary sec- tor, 3% in the secondary sector and 11% in the tertiary sector. In the Municipal- ity; 30% are employed in the primary sector, 14% in the secondary and 56% in 13-11-14_Kampot Workshop preparation draftGR2,DS.docx 1 / 15 the tertiary sector (Census, 2008). The main resources at the municipal level include tourism, coastal development and some industrial activity. Kampot City is well-known for its recent achievements in striving towards a sus- tainable and green city. It has been the chosen location for several ambitious pilot projects centring on recycling, composting, source waste management and awareness-raising of best environmental practice. However, there is an apparent lack of clear roles and responsibilities with regard to the management of solid waste between the provincial, municipal, district and sangkat/commune administrations. Furthermore, the coverage of waste collec- tion is lacking; informal roadside open dumpsites and illegal dumping into rivers are both a prevailing norm, as is ‘informal’ waste collection.

  • Tourism Demand Analysis
    Greater Mekong Subregion Tourism Infrastructure for Inclusive Growth Project (RRP CAM 46293-004) TOURISM DEMAND ANALYSIS A. Tourism Sector Context 1. International visitor arrivals in Cambodia reached 3.58 million in 2012, a 24% increase compared to 2011. While recent growth in arrivals has been remarkable, average length of stay has dropped by 6% to 6.3 days since 2008 and average daily spending is hovering at around $100 per day. The direct contribution of travel and tourism to GDP is 11.4% and is expected to be 11.5% of GDP in 2025. International tourism receipts reached a historic high of $2.2 billion in 2012, sustaining 782,500 jobs or 12.4% of total employment. About 60% of arrivals originate in Southeast and East Asia, with Viet Nam, the Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as significant source markets. Cambodia is one of the most visa-friendly destinations in the world, offering tourist visa-on-arrival for 179 countries and visa exemption for member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The government’s Tourism Development Strategic Plan 2012–2020 forecasts 7 million international arrivals in 2020 and prioritizes investment in the southern coastal corridor (Koh Kong, Sihanoukville, Kampot, and Kep), Mekong River corridor and Tonle Sap Lake, and protected areas in the Northeast and Cardamom Mountains. B. Tourism in Kampot Province 2. Kampot’s main tourist attractions are (i) Kampot Town’s riverside setting, colonial-era buildings and historic market; (ii) Preah Monivong (Bokor) National Park, with the Bokor Hill Station and recently opened integrated resort; (iii) salt and pepper farms; and (iv) Teuk Chhou Rapids and nearby durian plantations.

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.

  • Study of Financial Access to Health Services for the Poor in Cambodia
    RESEARCH REPORT (30 April 2006) RESEARCH REPORT Study of financial access to health services for the poor in Cambodia Phase 1: Scope, design, and data analysis Dr Peter Leslie Annear (RMIT University) in association with David Wilkinson Men Rithy Chean Maurits van Pelt For the Ministry of Health, WHO, AusAID and RMIT University 30 April 2006 Phnom Penh Annear: Study of financial access to health services for the poor in Cambodia 1 RESEARCH REPORT (30 April 2006) Summary In recent years, a number of health reform proposals have been adopted or pioneered in Cambodia, including official user fees, sub-contracting government health service delivery to non-government providers, and community based health insurance. These health reform measures have acted to reduce the burden of health costs on the poor and to improve access. Fee exemption systems have, though, failed to protect the poor, who have largely been excluded from access to health care due to cost and other barriers. Now, a new model of health financing and relief for the poor has emerged, called health equity funding. Health equity funding has been particularly successful in reducing financial barriers and increasing utilization of government services. Health equity funding appears to be an efficient and effective way to overcome inequalities and extend health service coverage. This report details the findings of new research into health and equity in Cambodia carried out by the Ministry of Health, WHO, AusAID and RMIT University.
