INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose 1. This is the environmental management plan (EMP) for the subprojects in Kampot city, Kampot province Sub-projects the Second Greater Mekong Sub-region Corridor Towns Development Project (the project) in Cambodia. The EMP defines mitigation and monitoring measures and describes the institutions, responsibilities and mechanisms to monitor and ensure compliance. Such institutions and mechanisms will seek to ensure continuous improvement of environmental protection activities during preconstruction, construction, and operation of the sub- projects in order to prevent, reduce, or mitigate adverse impacts. 2. This EMP is prepared for construction of a wastewater collection network, a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and drainage. The other sub-projects under GMS Two will have individual EMPs. The integrated Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) that covers all the sub- projects is a separate document. 3. This EMP may be subject to further updates when the IEE for this sub-project is finalized. 1.2 Budget 4. The costs for EMP implementation comprise: Training and Capacity Building : $10,000 (See Table 4) Environmental Quality Monitoring: Pre-Construction $7,250 (Costs are included in domestic Initial Environmental Impact Assessment (IEIA)) During Construction per year $21,700 (see Table 8) 5. Other aspects of the EMP including mitigation measures, reporting, affected people consultation and EMP monitoring are included in other budgets depending on the organization responsible for the aspect e.g. Project Management Unit (PMU) operational budget or included in contractor’s bid price. 1.3 Outline of Technical Approach

  • 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.

  • 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.

However, genetic resources of Cucurbitaceae crops from southern Cambodia are only a few. A field survey was conducted mainly in southern Cambodia to collect genetic resources of cucurbitaceous crops with variations in fruit and seed traits in melons. A total of 131 samples, consisting of seven kinds of cucurbit crops and maize, were collected from markets, farmers’ houses, and fields in the special administrative city and seven provinces and the capital of Cambodia and Japan; they were registered as a germplasm collection. Of the 101 accessions of melon, 56 and 45 were collected as fruits and seeds, respectively.
