This events allow TPC’s staff to contribute non- financial support to their communities as well as to establish good relationship with local authorities, clients, and the public. Through this event, TPC is able to increase its reputation as not only a customer-oriented financial institution, but also a community-oriented organization. Community Event Highlight School Activities In November 2011, Kratie Branch and Chhloung Subbranch worked together one community event. The staff hang Khmer slogan, planted trees, and cleaned the school campus at Chrova Kohdach primary school. The staff also invited the School Principal, teachers and students of Chrova Koh- dach school. A total of 268 participants joined the activity. The activity aims to help improve the edu- cational facility, and subsequently, the quality of learning in that school. The teachers and parents of students expressed their appreciation to TPC.

Around 121 people participated in this event, including Dr. Haut Chhat and Dr. Hon Seng- Hab representing Komar Angkor Hospital, as well as the representatives of village, district authori- ties, and the local people. Road Improvement Last year’s flood caused damages to many infrastructures in Cambodia, especially on the road network. These subsequently affected the local economy. Thus, in December 2011, TPC’s Kandal Branch and S´ang Subbranch prepared community event to improve the roads, damaged by the flood, located in Chhmar Puon village. TPC filled in 5 containers of land and planted 43 trees on both sides of the road with the participation of 33 staff of Kandal branch and S´ang Subbranch. Fifty five other people also assisted. They include the commune chief, village chief and villagers. 2 Thaneakea Phum (Cambodia), Ltd.

  • 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.
