1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Expanding Co-Patrolling to Preah Vihear Province: The project supported a consultation workshop in Thmea commune, Chhey Sen District, Preah Vihear Province, on establishing co-patrolling structures and mechanisms as well as explaining roles and responsibilities with all stakeholders, including representatives from the provincial court, provincial/district unified commanding committees, provincial/district administration, commune chief, police, rangers, village chiefs, deputy village chiefs, and members of Prey Lang Community Network (PLCN). As a result, an agreed draft of the implementation structure for co- patrolling was produced and co-patrolling and data collection guidelines were finalized. These guidelines will be used to expand the co-patrolling approach to Thmea Commune, Thalaborivat District, Preah Vihear Province, involving provincial, district, and commune level representatives.
Technical Support to Community Forests: During the previous quarter, the project provided technical and financial support for forest patrolling and natural resource protection at 41 Community Forest sites within the Prey Lang Landscape. Technical support included training on GPS, patrol planning and the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) with 285 (72F) participants including commune councilors, village chief, Community Forestry Management Committee (CFMC) and Community forestry patrol groups. This support is strengthening capacity of community members on protection and conservation of natural resources within their Community Forest areas.
Sub-national Authorities Trained in WESTool, Enables Climate-Smart Planning: SFB delivered trainings to support the mainstreaming of climate change and natural resource management (NRM) priorities into two Commune Development Plans in Stung Treng and Mondulkiri Provinces. Participants included subnational administrators from provincial, district, and commune levels as well as community members from Community Forests (CF) and/or Community Protected Areas (CPAs). In total, 57 (13F) people were trained in using the Watershed Ecosystem Services Tool (WESTool) this quarter, of which 45 (11F) were new. Training participants learned to use the WESTool to estimate how historical land use change has affected ecosystem services, how predicted climate changes may impact future risks, and how to integrate this information into local government planning to improve community resilience. As well as learning the key principles of climate change and ecosystem services, training participants learnt how to use the WESTool, upload inputs and download results, how to analyze, compare and interpret results for specific climate change risks in the target sites of Anlong Chrey and Sok San Communes. These sessions demonstrated how sub-national administrators can integrate site-specific WESTool data into commune development plans to help residents adapt to the climate change risks identified and safeguard ecosystem services.
Climate Change Adaptation & Natural Resource Management Priorities Identified: As a direct result of the WESTool training described above, sub-national administrators and community members conducted climate change analyses using the WESTool, and identified Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and NRM priorities for mainstreaming into new Commune Development Plans (CDP) for their respective areas. CCA and NRM priorities identified included forest fire prevention, investment in irrigation and water storage to improve dry season agricultural productivity, continued support for forest patrolling and protection, as well as riverbank stabilization to reduce erosion and run-off.
Improved Coordination between Ministry of Environment and Grassroots Networks: During the previous quarter, the project worked with senior officials from the Ministry of Environment (MoE) to streamline the reporting systems of grassroots networks Prey Lang Community Network (PLCN) and Prey Lang Forest Community Network (PLFCN) to enable effective reporting and communication between
USAID Cambodia Supporting Forests and Biodiversity 1
Quarterly Report No. 20 July-September 2017 community patrol groups in the Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary and the MoE at provincial and national levels. The project team provided technical assistance to revise the PLCN/PLFCN reporting format and established administrative procedures and timeframes for submission to relevant authorities. As a result, cooperation and coordination between national and provincial authorities and grassroots networks has been significantly strengthened. National and provincial authorities are now regularly updated on PLCN/PLFCN activities, who now follow MoE guidelines on forest patrolling and on the correct processing of evidence related to forest crimes.
Mainstreaming of Circular No. 5 and Sub-Decree 156: During the past quarter, the project team continued to support the implementation of the Royal Government of Cambodia’s Circular No. 5 and Sub- Decree 156. It is critical that relevant stakeholders at the sub-national level are aware and understand the necessary measures for strengthening natural resource management, through a systematic and consultative process that engages a wide range of relevant stakeholders from government and civil society.
Support for Community and PDoE patrols in Srepok and Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuaries: During this quarter, the project supported close collaboration between Mondulkiri Provincial Department of Environment (PDoE) rangers and community patrol teams through supporting 8 patrols in Srepok Wildlife Sanctuary and 3 patrols in Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary, as well as monthly ranger meetings. This collaborative approach builds and maintains relationships between local communities and provincial authorities, as well as strengthening and widening patrolling activities to respond to the threats of poaching, illegal logging and land clearing. The monthly meetings are vital to ensure that rangers are planning their patrols strategically through effective use of SMART patrol data, as well as reflecting on the issues of the previous month.
Communications Materials Target Wide Range of Stakeholders: During the past quarter, seven project snapshots, two interviews and eight photo captions were developed and shared via the project mailing list and social media, covering a broad range of issues related to natural resource protection in the Prey Lang and Eastern Plains Landscapes. Materials of note include the publication of “Plants of Sandan”, an ethnobotanical guide to the broad range of uses community members of Prey Lang have for their local flora; as well as interviews with leaders of grassroots community networks, which give an insight into the daily lives and working conditions of the tireless efforts invested into preserving Prey Lang.

1.1 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION/INTRODUCTION
The USAID Supporting Forests and Biodiversity (SFB) project is implemented in collaboration with the Forestry Administration (FA), Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) and the General Department for Administration of Nature Conservation and Protection (GDANCP) in the Ministry of Environment (MoE) through a consortium of project partners. This reporting period covers the end of the first project extension and the beginning of the second extension period, which initiated on August 8th, 2017. Project activities during this reporting period are focused on the Eastern Plains Landscape (EPL) in Mondulkiri Province and the Prey Lang Landscape (PLL), which spans the provinces of Kampong Thom, Preah Vihear, Stung Treng, and Kratie. Activities are implemented by Winrock International and partner World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The overarching goal of the SFB project is to improve conservation and governance of the two most extensive forest landscapes in the country, the PLL and the EPL, to mitigate climate change and conserve biodiversity. The participation of local communities, as well as other stakeholders, in forest management decisions will be improved under the project and capacity-building of communities and officials of sub- national and national authorities will cut across project elements through three inter-linked objectives under which the project’s overarching goal will be achieved:
1) Effectiveness of government and other natural resource managers at national and sub-national levels to sustainably manage forests and conserve biodiversity enhanced. 2) Constructive dialogue on forest management and economic development at the national and sub- national levels improved. 3) Equitable benefits from the sustainable management of forests increased.
While Years 1-4 of the project covered all three objectives, the first and second extension periods have focused on a limited sub-set of these objectives. Constructive dialogue activities (objective 2) were completed in Years 1-4. The first extension emphasized improved governance (objective 1), providing support to Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) counterparts during the transition of responsibility for all protected area management from MAFF to MoE and the decentralization of natural resource management to sub-national administrations. In addition, limited support was provided for activities to finalize market linkages for livelihood groups (objective 3).
The second extension period covers only improved governance (objective 1), with a focus on support for rangers and community networks patrolling within Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary (PLWS), Community Forest (CF) members patrolling their CFs in the PLWS buffer zone, and co-patrolling of forested areas both inside and outside of PLWS by subnational administrators, government rangers and community groups. Activities in the EPL focused only on identification of climate change adaptation and natural resource management priorities and their integration into local Commune Development Plans (CDPs).

2. ACTIVITY IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS
2.1 PROGRESS NARRATIVE
The following activities were implemented by the USAID SFB project during the twentieth quarter, July 01 – September 30, 2017. For details on implementation status, please see the milestone tracking tables in Appendix 1.
OBJECTIVE 1
Summary of new achievements this quarter: • Expansion of co-patrolling pilot activities from Stung Treng to Preah Vihear Province; • Technical support to 41 Community Forests on improved forest management and protection; • Mainstreaming of Circular No. 5 and Sub-Decree No. 156 in the Prey Lang Landscape; • Sub-national government authorities trained in WESTool to enable climate-smart planning; • Climate Change Adaptation and Natural Resource Management priorities identified in two communes in the Prey Lang and Eastern Plains Landscapes; • Increased cooperation and coordination between Ministry of Environment and grassroots networks on forest protection and patrolling in PLWS; • Seven project snapshots, two interviews and eight photo captions were developed and shared with key stakeholders; • Support to collaborative patrolling activities in Srepok and Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuaries;
A. Eastern Plains Landscape (EPL) Identifying CPA Climate Change and NRM priorities: The project team facilitated a two-day training workshop (August 30-31, 2017) in Mondulkiri Province to train sub-national administrators and members of Chiklob Community Protected Area (CPA) to: 1) Use the Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) features of the Watershed Ecosystem Services Tool (WESTool), and 2): Analyze the WESTool and vulnerability results for Sok San Commune to identify CCA and Natural Resource Management (NRM) priorities for mainstreaming into new Commune Development Plans (CDP). GIS Specialists from the Ministry of Environment (MoE) and Open Development Cambodia (3, 0F) who participated in the WESTool Training of Trainers program assisted SFB staff with the WESTool training on Day 1, leading one of the interactive sessions and providing participants with technical assistance in using the WESTool platform. On Day 2, a list of NRM and CCA priorities was generated by the group discussion for integration into Kiri Soksan’s CDP. The priority actions for climate change adaptation proposed included: reducing runoff and nutrient loads in commune waterways through forest protection; forest fire prevention; implementation of the CPA management plan; strengthening joint forest patrols of protected areas by MoE rangers, local authority and community members; rehabilitating natural waterholes for wildlife; improving animal vaccination programs; improving public access to climatic and weather information including storm early warning systems and developing preparedness and responsiveness measures; improving sanitation and nutrition; and training community members on climate smart agriculture technologies. Thirty-four (8F) participants attended, including representatives of the Provincial Department of Environment (PDoE) and Provincial Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (PDoAFF); Koh Nhek District Governor, Councilors, Advisors, Chief and Vice Chief of District Planning Office; Sok San Commune Chief, representatives of the Women and Children Committee; and Chiklob CPA members.

Quarterly Report No. 20 July-September 2017
Integration of CCA and NRM priorities into Commune Development Plans Following this event, USAID SFB staff facilitated Step 1 of the government’s CDP process for Sok San commune to mainstream the identified NRM and CCA priorities in the draft version of ‘Table 1.1’ for Sok San’s CDP, which was followed by village level consultations as part of the CDP process. In total, 15 (1F) participants attended the Sok San CDP drafting, including: Commune Vice Chiefs, Commune Councilors, Planning Officers, Women and Children Committee (CCWC), District Advisors, Village Chiefs and Community Representatives. To ensure that NRM and CCA priorities are mainstreamed throughout the CDP drafting process, USAID SFB staff will continue to provide technical support to the Sok San Commune Chief to develop steps 1.1 and 1.2 of Step I and Table 2.2 of Step 2 for verification of the mainstreaming results during the next quarter.
Supporting Community and PDoE patrols in Srepok Wildlife Sanctuary (SWS) and Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary (PPWS): Collaborative efforts between government rangers, community patrolling teams and USAID SFB staff has been the primary focus of quarter 20 within Protected Areas in the Eastern Plains landscape. A total of 11 patrols – 8 in SWS and 3 in PPWS were supported by USAID SFB during the month of July; 3 have included participation from PDoE rangers and USAID SFB staff; and 8 have included participation from PDoE rangers and community patrol teams. A total of 4 community patrol teams have been engaged through these collaborative patrols during this quarter, these include - Krang Tes (Toulong) CF; O'Nglav CF (Srae Huy), Phnom Kduk (Toul) CF and Pu Chrey CF. The project continued to support monthly meetings for PDoE rangers from both SWS (1) and PPWS (1) to discuss results and plans to enforce protected area law. The monthly meetings are vital to ensure that rangers are planning their patrols strategically through effective use of SMART patrol data, as well as reflecting on the issues of the previous month.
B. Prey Lang Landscape (PLL) Streamlining PLCN and PLFCN Reporting Systems for Improved Coordination with MoE: The project team liaised with MoE officials, including Mr. Hy Sophal, Deputy Director of the Department of Protected Areas for the Northern Tonle Sap, within the Ministry of Environment (MoE), to discuss the reporting system developed for Prey Lang Community Network (PLCN) and Prey Lang Forest Community Network (PLFCN). Topics included the report format, the reporting flow, and timeframe for submission to PDoE by PLCN/PLFCN. In addition, the team discussed how law enforcement will be applied during patrols conducted by PLCN/PLFCN, the planned monthly meetings between PLCN/PLFCN and PDOE, and USAID SFB support during the second extension. Moreover, the project team also discussed and finalized the schedule, roles and responsibilities of the workshops on strengthening patrol cooperation and reporting format between PDoE, MoE rangers and PLCN/PLFCN members in Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary (PLWS) to be delivered by the Provincial Department of Environment (PDoE), MoE and USAID SFB. The workshops targeted PLCN/PLFCN in each of the Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary (PLWS) provinces to disseminate key content from the recently amended Protected Area Law and MoE’s reporting system for PLCN and PLFCN.
Strengthening Cooperation on Forest Protection between PDoE, MoE and PLCN/PLFCN members in Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary: The USAID SFB project provided technical support to the Ministry of Environment (MoE) to conduct workshops on strengthening cooperation and coordination on forest patrolling between the Provincial Department of Environment (PDoE) rangers and PLCN / PLFCN members. A series of four workshops were conducted in Kratie, Stung Treng, Preah Vihear and Kampong Thom Provinces. Each workshop covered topics including: the MoE patrol report format and systems; development of monthly work plans to coordinate patrol activities by PDoE and PLCN/PLFCN; key content of the Protected Area (PA) law and law enforcement procedures, including the official procedure and rights for charging

Quarterly Report No. 20 July-September 2017 transactional fines to violators of the Protected Area and Forestry Laws. As a result, participants better understand the roles and responsibilities of community members in forest patrolling under the existing laws and how to report community activities to MoE. In addition, it strengthened their cooperation with MoE/PDoE rangers and other law enforcement officers to optimize community patrols in PLWS. Participants at the four workshops included a total of 190 MoE, PDoE, rangers, and PLCN/PLFCN members, with 48 (0F) participants attending the Kratie workshop, 50 (6F) in Stung Treng, 49 (7F) in Preah Vihear, and 43 (1F) in Kampong Thom. Training of PDoE rangers on evidence processing and recording forest crimes: During the previous quarter, extensive discussions with the Ministry of Environment’s General Department for Administration of Nature Conservation and Protection (GDANCP) on training of PDoE rangers, senior officials including Mr. Hong Daravuth, Director of Northern Tonle Sap Department for Protected Areas requested that the ranger training focus on key areas of the Protected Area law. It is critical that stakeholders and law enforcement officers responsible for natural resource protection are aware of provisions in the existing Protected Area law and recently revised regulations for enhancing effectiveness of natural resource management. During the previous quarter, USAID SFB responded to this request and developed ranger training materials to include information such as issuance of Sub-Decree No. 156 dated 31 March, 2014 on the establishment and improved functioning of the Sub-National Administration Security Coordination Task Force in safeguarding natural resources under their jurisdiction. Training materials developed also highlight details of Circular No. 005, dated 22 September 2016 which aims to ensure the effectiveness of natural resource management at the sub-national level. USAID SFB is coordinating with the MoE’s GDANCP and will conduct four provincial training workshops for rangers previously trained during the first extension period, plus newly recruited rangers of the Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary (PLWS) during the next quarter.
Kampong Thom Province Support to Community Forests: The USAID SFB team provided technical support on GPS, patrol planning and the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) to 14 CF Community Forest (CF) patrol groups with 48 (1F) participants in Kampong Thom Province during the past quarter. Participants strengthened their skills in GPS use, recording data using the SMART system, and patrol planning. In addition, SMART record books were collected. The participants supported including commune councilors, village chiefs, Community Forestry Management Committee (CFMC) members and CF patrol group members. CF patrol groups conducted 54 forest patrols with 270/10F members participating. Fifteen chain saws were confiscated and handed over to FA and PDoE, along with 7.7 m3 of illegal timber and 35 meters of wire snares. In addition, 17.5 m3 of sawn wood, 5 resin trees, and 1 hectare of illegal land encroachment were identified and reported to commune authorities for further intervention. Fifteen agreements to stop cutting and clearing the forest inside CF areas were made with 15 offenders, and 7 illegal camp sites were removed.
Preah Vihear Province Expanding Co-Patrolling to Preah Vihear Province: Following successful piloting of the co-patrolling model in Stung Treng Province during the first extension period, the USAID SFB project targeted an expansion of this approach in Chhey Sen District, Preah Vihear Province during the second extension period. Thmea Commune within Chhey Sen District was specifically selected for the expansion of co- patrolling due to its high forest cover and watershed significance with over 80 percent of the commune inside Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary, active presence of grassroots networks such as PLCN, as well as strong

Quarterly Report No. 20 July-September 2017 political will from sub-national authorities. The project conducted extensive consultations at the provincial, district and commune levels which resulted in the initiative receiving endorsement and technical support through various nominated government focal points.
On August 10th, 2017, the SFB project team met with Preah Vihear provincial authorities to discuss establishment of a co-patrolling team to protect forests in Thmea Commune, Chhey Sen District. It was agreed that USAID SFB should work closely with local authorities (district and commune) to pilot co- patrolling in Thmea Commune. The Deputy Provincial Governor and Governor of Chhey Sen District were appointed as government focal points responsible for helping oversee co-patrolling in Thmea, and update the Provincial Governor on progress. There were 13 (1F) participants including the Provincial Governor, Deputy Provincial Governor, District Governors of Rovieng, Chhey Sen and Chhep, Provincial Department of Environment (PDoE) Director, Provincial Police Chief, Provincial Army Chief, Provincial Administrative Director, and the Provincial Program Management Advisor.
On September 7th, 2017, the project team met with Chhey Sen district authorities to discuss establishing co-patrolling in Thmea commune: The project team introduced the co-patrolling concept, including details on co-patrolling structure, group composition and work-planning of activities together with sub-national authorities. The meeting identified key persons to lead on co-patrolling activities and agreed on the co- patrolling structure in the context of Chhey Sen District, Preah Vihear Province. Twenty-one (3F) participants, including the Deputy Provincial Governor, District Governor/Deputy, PDoE Director, PDoE rangers, PLCN, commune and village chiefs attended the meeting.
On September 27th, 2017, the USAID SFB project supported a consultation workshop in Thmea Commune, Chhey Sen District, Preah Vihear Province to establish co-patrolling structures and mechanisms. Roles and responsibilities with all stakeholders were explained to representatives from the provincial court, provincial/district unified commanding committees, provincial/district administration, commune chief, police, rangers, village chiefs, deputy village chiefs, and members of Prey Lang Community Network (PLCN). An agreed draft of the implementation structure for co-patrolling was produced. A total of 42 participants (2F) attended the workshop including the deputy district governor, deputy district administration, Provincial Department of Environment rangers, commune chief, village chiefs, deputy village chiefs, police and PLCN members. Thirty-seven members of the co-patrolling team are scheduled to conduct a 2-day co-patrol on October 17-18 during the next quarter in PLWS, within Thmea Commune. Support to Community Forests: During this quarter, the USAID SFB team provided technical support on GPS navigation, patrol planning and the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) to 16 CF Community Forest (CF) patrol groups with 163 (52F) participants in Preah Vihear Province. CF members strengthened their skills in GPS use, recording data using the SMART system, and patrol planning. In addition, SMART record books were collected. The participants supported included commune councilors, village chiefs, Community Forestry Management Committee (CFMC) members and CF patrol group members. The 16 CFs supported in Preah Vihear are: Khnar, Prey Snuo, Samprieng, Prey Khlong Trapeang Sa’ang, Bra, Narong, Dang Phlet, Kunpheap, Chhaeb Keut, Sangkae, Preah Lean, Preah Enn Phkay Reah, Trapeang Khbal Damrei, Prey Changhar Thom, Prey Niyum Trapeang Chambak, and Kampong Sranaoh.

Stung Treng Province Finalizing Co-Patrolling Guidelines: The project convened two meetings on July 26-27, 2017 to finalize data collection and co-patrolling guidelines for Stung Treng Province. Twenty-eight (3F) participants attended the meeting including the Thalaborivat District Director, Deputy Director, and District Councilors; representatives of the Provincial Department of Environment (PDoE) and Forestry Administration Cantonment (FAC), representatives from NCDD-S, Ministry of Environment (MoE), and Anlong Chrey, O Rey, and Kampong Cham Commune Chiefs. Participants reviewed the draft guidelines on co-patrolling and consolidated final inputs and comments. Please see Annex 1 for full details of the Co- Patrolling Guidelines for Stung Treng Province.
Support to Community Forests: During the previous quarter, the SFB team provided technical support on GPS navigation, patrol planning and the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) to 5 Community Forests in Stung Treng Province. Thirty-five (8F) participants strengthened their skills in GPS use, recording data using the SMART system, and patrol planning. In addition, SMART record books were collected. The participants included commune councilors, village chief, Community Forestry Management Committee (CFMC) and community forestry patrol groups. The 5 sites supported included Kraom, Krala Peas, Samaki Preah Nimith, Phnom Prasat, and Kirisok San Community Forests.
Identifying Climate Change and NRM priorities for Commune Development Planning: The project team hosted a two-day workshop (August 22-23, 2017) in Stung Treng Province to train subnational administrators and members of Kiri Soksan Community Forest to: 1) Use the Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) features of the Watershed Ecosystem Services Tool (WESTool), and 2): Analyze the WESTool results for Anlong Chrey Commune and Vulnerability Resiliency Assessment (VRA) results to identify CCA and Natural Resource Management (NRM) priorities for mainstreaming into Commune Development Plan (CDP). A list of NRM and CCA priorities was generated by the group discussion for integration into Anlong Chrey’s CDP. The priority actions for climate change adaptation proposed included: reducing runoff and nutrient loads in waterways through forest cover protection; reducing forest fires; establishing additional CFs; strengthening forest co-patrolling; excavating ponds or building rainwater collection tanks; improving public access to climate-related information such as storm warnings; developing disaster preparedness and responsive measures; and training community members on climate smart agriculture technologies. Thirty (5F) participants attended the event, including staff of the PDoE and PDoAFF; Thalaborivat Deputy District Governor, Councilors, Advisors, and Chief of the District Planning Office; the Anlong Chrey Commune Chief, Councilors, and representatives of the Women and Children Committee, Kiri Soksan CF members.
Integrating Climate Change and NRM priorities into Commune Development Plans: Following the WESTool CCA training and workshop on NRM and CCA priority identification, the project team facilitated Step 1 of the government’s CDP process to include NRM and CCA priorities into the draft version of Table 1.1 for Anlong Chrey’s CDP, which was followed by village level consultations as part of the CDP process. Sixteen (1F) participants attended the CDP meeting, including Commune Vice Chiefs, Councilors, District Planning Officers and Women and Children Committee, District Advisor; Village Chiefs and Community Representatives. To ensure that NRM and CCA priorities are effectively mainstreamed into CDP planning tables, USAID SFB staff will continue to follow up with Anlong Chrey’s Commune Chief to finalize Table 1.1 and 1.2 of Step I and Table 2.2 of Step 2 in the next quarter.

Kratie Province Support to Community Forests: During this quarter, the project team provided technical support on GPS navigation, patrol planning and the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) to 6 Community Forests) in Kratie. Fifty-seven (9F) participants strengthened their skills in GPS use, recording data using the SMART system, and patrol planning. In addition, SMART record books were collected. The 6 sites supported include O Krasang, Kampong Damrei, Koh Ent Chey, Kampong Kboeung, Angkor Ent, and Prasat Teuk Khmao Community Forests in Sambour District, Kratie Province.
2.2 IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES
Leahy Vetting Delays for Mobile Enforcement Unit Personnel: The Leahy vetting requirements have prevented the planned support to the Mobile Enforcement Unit (MEU) during quarter 20. The MEU consists of Forestry Administration and Police, which enforce the law outside of protected area boundaries. These individuals are considered law enforcement personnel by USAID definitions and, therefore, must be vetted before they are supported by the project. Individuals were submitted for vetting, however due to the time taken for this process to be completed, the planned support and training to the MEU was not conducted. Instead, these resources were used to support law enforcement activities within PPWS and SWS, primarily in support of collaborative patrolling between PDoE rangers which had already been vetted and community patrol teams.
2.3 ACTIVITIES NOT CARRIED OUT AS PLANNED THIS QUARTER
Support to Mobile Enforcement Unit (MEU): Support and training to the MEU in Mondulkiri was planned for this quarter. However, the Leahy vetting process delays have prevented the provision of financial support and training to the MEU members. This team is important for addressing the transport and sale of illegally obtained wildlife and forest goods outside the boundaries of protected areas. The expected vetting was not achieved, and thus, activities to support and train the MEU were not carried out.

3. INTEGRATION OF CROSSCUTTING ISSUES AND USAID FORWARD PRIORITIES
3.1 GENDER EQUALITY AND FEMALE EMPOWERMENT
Women and Children’s Committee targeted for WESTool trainings and CDP mainstreaming workshops: During planning for the second extension period, the USAID SFB team recognized that it would be a challenge to achieve the target outlined in the project’s gender strategy of 30% participation by women and indigenous people, given this period’s focus on governance activities and the limited number of marginalized people in Cambodian government positions. To increase female participation in activities related to WESTool and mainstreaming of CCA and NRM priorities into CDPs, the team specifically invited members of the Women and Children’s Committees (WCC) at both commune and district levels to join these activities. As a result, 23% of new people trained in WESTool in Q20 are female. Although short of the 30% target, it is likely that SFB’s specific invitation to WCC members resulted in greater female attendance than would normally be the case for a training of subnational government officers.
3.2 MONITORING & EVALUATION Key M&E activities during this quarter included: • Finalized an inventory of records in the USAID SFB database to ensure documentation is complete for all first extension activities. • Reviewed and provided technical feedback to partners and project staff on final reports covering the project’s first extension period. • Supported development of the work plan and Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (PMEP) for the second extension. • Coordinated detailed work planning for the second extension period to ensure field activities are adequately scheduled to allow the project to achieve its targets by the end of the performance period. • Supported WESTool training for subnational administrators in Stung Treng and Mondulkiri Provinces and the WESTool Training of Trainers program. • Supported analysis of WESTool results and climate change adaptation priorities for Anlong Chrey and Sok San Communes for CDP mainstreaming. • Collaborated with Winrock’s Ecosystem Services Unit to ensure final improvements to the new WESTool platform planned for the first extension period were completed.
3.3 COMMUNICATIONS & OUTREACH
To highlight forest protection and biodiversity conservation in Cambodia, project communications continued to play an important role in raising the awareness and engaging civil society organizations, government officials, donors and the public. During this reporting period, the following communication activities took place:
• Seven project snapshots, two interviews and eight photo captions were written and shared to all SFB partners and stakeholders, and were also posted on the project Facebook page.
USAID Cambodia Supporting Forests and Biodiversity 17
Quarterly Report No. 20 July-September 2017
• Vulnerability Reduction Assessments and Climate Change Adaptation reports were published and printed for Community Forest and Community Protected Area that previously participated in trainings within the Prey Lang and Eastern Plains Landscapes. The delivery of these reports to 40 communities aimed to increase understanding of potential climate change impacts and adaptation measures in their communities. • To promote community based ecotourism in the Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary and to highlight the traditional importance of local flora and the diverse ways in which it is used, the project produced and printed 500 copies of the Plant’s of Sandan Booklet. The book presents beautiful photographs of more than 30 plant species which are regularly used by the community, along with short profiles which include the local Khmer name for each species, and these useful plants can be downloaded for free at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/arf9x4ef27s8j7o/Plant%20Guide%20Book%20%28%20spreading%29.pdf?dl=0 • SFB and USAID staff developed questions and schedules for the upcoming Embassy Facebook live chats, which will take place during the next quarter. Guests of the live chats will include members of grassroots conservation networks, staff from the Ministry of Environment as well as SFB project representatives.
3.4 SUSTAINABILITY MECHANISMS
To ensure long-term sustainability of impact beyond the life of project, activities during this quarter have focused on integration of project initiatives into government planning processes and legally recognized mandates of authority. The identification and integration of climate change adaptation and natural resource management priorities in two Commune Development Plans in Anlong Chrey and Sok San in Preah Vihear and Mondulkiri respectively, will ensure that local authorities are both mandated and resourced to continue activities that will improve resilience and protection of natural resources over the long term. Furthermore, the project has aligned initiatives such as the establishment of co-patrolling in Stung Treng and Preah Vihear Provinces with recent national policy directives on the decentralization of authority to sub-national management levels on the management of natural resources. Together with targeted training of provincial, district and commune officials as well as community representatives, technical working relationships have been built and strengthened, further enhancing existing efforts by the MoE and grassroots networks on forest patrolling and protection.
3.5 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE & EMMP ACTIVITIES
Nothing to report.
3.6 GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
During the past quarter, the project identified Climate Change Adaptation priorities in two communes of natural resource significance. Both Anlong Chrey commune in Stung Treng and Sok San commune in Mondulkiri have high forest cover and border a protected area. Training events conducted by the project over the past quarter on using the WESTool to conduct analysis of various development scenarios enabled 57 local officials to identify climate change adaptation priorities such as reduction of riverbank erosion, prevention of forest fires, investment in water storage and irrigation infrastructure as well as continued support for forest protection. Mainstreaming of these efforts into 5-year Commune Development Plans and subsequent inclusion of priorities into government budgets is key to ensuring dedication of human and financial resources to support activities that will address climate change priorities on an ongoing basis.

Quarterly Report No. 20 July-September 2017
3.7 POLICY AND GOVERNANCE SUPPORT
Enhanced cooperation between the MoE and grassroots networks: During the previous quarter, the project worked with senior officials from the Ministry of Environment to streamline the reporting systems of grassroots networks PLCN and PLFCN to enable effective reporting and communication between community patrol groups in the Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary and the MoE at provincial and national levels. The project team provided technical assistance to revise the PLCN/PLFCN reporting format and established administrative procedures and timeframes for submission to relevant authorities. As a result, cooperation and coordination between national and provincial authorities and grassroots networks has been significantly strengthened. National and provincial authorities are now regularly updated on PLCN/PLFCN activities, who now follow MoE guidelines on forest patrolling and on the correct processing of evidence related to forest crimes.
Expanding co-patrolling to Preah Vihear Province: Following successful piloting of co-patrolling model in Stung Treng Province during the first extension period, the project is now expanding this approach to Preah Vihear Province. Thmea Commune within Chhey Sen District was specifically selected for the expansion of co-patrolling due to its high forest cover and watershed significance with over 80 percent of the commune inside Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary, active presence of grassroots networks such as PLCN, as well as strong political will from sub-national authorities. The project conducted extensive consultations at the provincial, district and commune levels which resulted in the initiative receiving endorsement and technical support through various nominated government focal points. The first co- patrols are scheduled to take place in October 2017 and will involve participation of PLCN, PDoE rangers, commune and district representatives as well as members of the local policy and military units.
3.8 LOCAL CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT
WESTool Training of Trainers: The project developed a Training of Trainers program which involved GIS Specialists from MoE and Open Development Cambodia (3; 0F). MoE and ODC staff acted as co-trainers to assist training participants during the sessions with interactive exercises to practice using the online platform and analyze WESTool results. In addition, the trainers led sessions on how to upload shapefiles to the platform and download results of WESTool analyses. This reinforced their learning from the original WESTool Training of Trainers, and provided valuable experience on teaching others to use the platform.
4. MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
Nothing to report.
5. LESSONS LEARNED
Based on experience from establishing co-patrolling in Stung Treng Province, clear communication and regular liaison with government at all levels has enabled project activities to progress smoothly and effectively in the field, which has in turn benefitted all workplan activities, including those with grassroots networks, and provided greater transparency and understanding between the project, government partners as well as other development partners working in the target landscapes.
