    Report No. 58016-KH Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Investigation Report Cambodia: Land Management and Public Disclosure Authorized Administration Project (Credit No. 3650 - KH) November 23, 2010 Public Disclosure Authorized About the Panel The Inspection Panel was created in September 1993 by the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank to serve as an independent mechanism to ensure accountability in Bank operations with respect to its policies and procedures. The Inspection Panel is an instrument for groups of two or more private citizens who believe that they or their interests have been or could be harmed by Bank-financed activities to present their concerns through a Request for Inspection. In short, the Panel provides a link between the Bank and the people who are likely to be affected by the projects it finances. Members of the Panel are selected “on the basis of their ability to deal thoroughly and fairly with the request brought to them, their integrity and their independence from the Bank’s Management, and their exposure to developmental issues and to living conditions in developing countries.”1 The three-member Panel is empowered, subject to Board approval, to investigate problems that are alleged to have arisen as a result of the Bank having failed to comply with its own operating policies and procedures. The Panel’s work embraces the fundamental principles of independence, integrity, and impartiality. These cornerstone principles enable the Panel to respond to the issues raised and to provide technically sound, independent assessments to the Bank’s Board. Processing Requests After the Panel receives a Request for Inspection, it is processed as follows: • The Panel decides whether the Request is prima facie not barred from Panel consideration.

  • “The Whole World Is Watching”: Intimate Geopolitics of Forced Eviction and Women's Activism in Cambodia
    “The Whole World Is Watching”: Intimate Geopolitics of Forced Eviction and Women’s Activism in Cambodia Katherine Brickell Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London Through fourteen in-depth interviews1 conducted in February 2013 with women from Boeung Kak Lake—a high-profile community under threat in Phnom Penh—this article argues that the occurrence of, and activism against, forced eviction is an embodiment of “intimate geopolitics.” The article demonstrates the manifold rela- tionship that forced eviction reflects and ferments between homes, bodies, the nation-state, and the geopolitical transformation of Southeast Asia. Forced eviction is framed as a geopolitical issue, one that leads to innermost incursions into everyday life, one that has spurred on active citizenship and collective action evidencing the injustices of dispossession to diverse audiences, and one that has rendered female activists’ intimate relationships further vulnerable. In doing so, it charts how Boeung Kak Lake women have rewritten the political script in Cambodia by publicly contesting the inevitability accorded to human rights abuses in the post-genocide country. Key Words: activism, Cambodia, forced eviction, home, women. !!!! 2013 !!", !#!"!!——!!#$!$!!!"!!!"!!——!!!"!"!!!"!", !

Con base en catorce entrevistas a profundidad llevadas a cabo en febrero de 2013 entre mujeres del Lago Boeung Kak—una comunidad destacada y vulnerable de Phnom Penh—este art´ıculo sostiene que la ocurrencia del desalojo forzado y el activismo contra el mismo se pueden considerar como una personificacion´ de la “geopol´ıtica ´ıntima.” En el art´ıculo se demuestra la multiple´ relacion´ que reflejan el desalojo forzado y las conmociones entre hogares, cuerpos, el estado-nacion´ y la transformacion´ geopol´ıtica del Sudeste de Asia.

As a part of the Kong-Chi-Mun Water Diversion Projectii, the dam was built under the direction of the Department of Power Development and Promotion (DPDP), Ministry of Sciences, Technology and Environment, Thailand. It is currently operated by the Royal Irrigation Department of Thailand. Project Costs The original budget for construction was 140 million bahts, but the cost has risen by a factor of more than six to 871 million bahts. In addition, unforeseen compensation payments continue to be made. The Rasi Salai Dam Environmental and Social Impacts of the Dam The area around the dam construction site has distinctive environmental conditions under the influence of the monsoon, being highly arid for half of the year during the dry season, while during the rainy season, it is undergoes flooding for three months, with about 600 km2 of wetlands and inundated forest. The villagers call it Pa Bun Pa Tham, and use it for farming, fishing, pasturage and gathering of wild plants and animals. In ancient times the area was a part of a sea, and has a vast underground layer of salt deposits. The people here have long engaged in salt production, gathering the salt that seeps up from these deposits underground.

Place of publication: Uppsala Year of publication: 2013 Cover picture: The Lower Salween in Mae San Laap (source: Florian Zeitler) Online publication: http://stud.epsilon.slu.se Keywords: IWRM, Transboundary, Water Conflict, Hydropower, Salween River, Myanmar, Thailand, China Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences Department of Water and Environment Abstract Sharing a river's potential in terms of hydropower is a common way in transboundary river basins, especially in regions with rising energy demands. However, new strategies in river and basin management are necessary to sustainably benefit from water resources. Implementing IWRM concepts in the national policy is a standard process; the challenges are internationally shared basins. This study investigates the Salween River Basin in South East Asia, a transboundary basin shared by China, Burma and Thailand. The respective governments developed plans to use the Salween's hydropower potential and construct a dam cascade in the downstream part of the river. However, all three countries have different interests and IWRM implementation statuses in the projects due to different backgrounds and national developments. A status analysis of the basin concluded that China has mainly unilateral interests in the hydropower projects and no IWRM experience.

  • Full Statement of the Save the Mekong Coalition
    Statement of Save The Mekong Coalition Mekong Mainstream Dams Are a Major Transboundary Threat to the Region’s Food Security and People: Civil Society Calls Upon Prime Ministers to Cancel Mainstream Dams On the occasion of the 20th Meeting of the Mekong River Commission’s Council to be held on June 26th in Bangkok, Thailand, the Save the Mekong coalition calls upon the Prime Ministers of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam to urgently work together to address the threat posed by a cascade of eleven Mekong mainstream dams to the region’s food security and people. Regional leaders must take action to cancel the planned projects, including the Xayaburi and Don Sahong dams, and ensure that future decisions over the shared river are based on scientific knowledge, transboundary impact assessment, and respect for the rights of all riparian nations and the public to a transparent and participatory decision-making process. As the world’s largest inland freshwater fishery, the Mekong River feeds more than 60 million people living within the basin, and the river’s extraordinary aquatic biodiversity is second only to the Amazon. The river’s connectivity and flood-drought cycles are essential for maintaining the river’s rich ecology, fisheries and the sediment balance necessary for the sustainable production of food crops on its fertile floodplains. The Mekong River Commission’s 2010 Strategic Environmental Assessment warned of severe environmental, social and cultural threats posed by the dams, the difficulties in mitigating harm to fisheries, and the significant knowledge gaps that hinder informed decision-making. Subsequent studies have highlighted the need for improved energy sector planning and the utilization of more sustainable energy options to achieve the region’s development needs.

  • 21 March 2011 Re: Global Call to Cancel The
    21 March 2011 Re: Global Call to Cancel the Xayaburi Dam on the Mekong River mainstream in Northern Lao PDR Your Excellency Thongsing Thammavong, The Prime Minister of Lao PDR, Your Excellency Abhisit Vejjajiva, The Prime Minister of Thailand, We, the undersigned 263 NGOs from 51 countries, respectfully call upon the Governments of Lao PDR and Thailand to cancel the Xayaburi Dam proposed for the Mekong River’s mainstream in Xayaboury province, Lao PDR. We believe this project to be exceptionally destructive and a threat to development and conservation efforts both within the region and globally. Irreparable damage caused by the Xayaburi Dam to the Mekong River would be a permanent loss to the livelihoods of people of the region and also to one of the most valuable rivers in the world. The Mekong River is host to the world’s largest freshwater fishery, which is central to the food security and livelihoods of millions of people throughout the region. With more than 1,000 species, the Mekong River is also a treasure trove of biodiversity and the second most biodiverse river system in the world. Located in northern Laos, the proposed 1,260 megawatt Xayaburi Dam is the most advanced of a planned eleven-dam cascade for the Mekong River’s lower mainstream. The project’s lead developer is the Thai construction company Ch. Karnchang and the project is proposed to be financed by Thailand’s Kasikorn Bank, Bangkok Bank, Siam Commercial Bank and Krung Thai Bank. 95% of the project’s electricity will be exported to Thailand, while the impacts will be most acutely felt by riverside communities in Lao PDR and neighboring countries.

  • Forced Evictions in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
    “Every day is difficult for my body and my heart.” Forced evictions in Phnom Penh, Cambodia: Women’s narratives of risk and resilience. Colleen McGinn Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Colleen McGinn All rights reserved ABSTRACT “Every day is difficult for my body and my heart.” Forced evictions in Phnom Penh, Cambodia: Women’s narratives of risk and resilience. Colleen McGinn This study uses narrative analysis to explore the question: How do forced evictions impact the psychosocial health of displaced women in Phnom Penh, and what sources of risk and resilience frame how they manage the exigencies of displacement? I use Stress and Coping Theory to frame analysis of the narratives of evicted women in order to understand their lived experiences and pathways of adaptation. Analysis of 27 interviews with 22 women demonstrated highly diverse experiences and divergent outcomes. I present a typology of post-eviction socioeconomic pathways because women’s coping strategies and adaptation are deeply grounded in the nature and degree of economic harm that they experienced. From this context, I explore how women coped with their displacement. Stress tended to manifest in the form of somatic ailments and rumination. Social support and livelihood capacity emerged as key protective factors. The better-off participants for whom eviction tended to represent harm to assets, community, and aspirations typically exhibited a great deal of anger and/or anxiety, and they experienced forced eviction as a discreet, tragic, and even traumatic event.

    Country for sale – how Cambodia’s elite has captured the country’s extractive industries Glossary of key terms Resource curse – the phenomenon by which natural resource wealth often results in poor standards of human development, bad governance, increased corruption and sometimes conflict. Extractive industries – for the purposes of this report, the extractive industries are defined as the oil, gas, and mining industries. Kleptocracy – a style of governance characterised by high-level corruption and looting of state funds for the purpose of increasing the personal wealth and political power of the ruling class. Shadow state1 – a state where political power is wielded as a means to personal self- enrichment and state institutions are subverted to support those needs. Behind the laws and government institutions of such states is a parallel system of personal rule. Leaders of these states are typically able to exploit their country’s public assets, particularly natural resources, through the subversion of bureaucratic institutions and the monopoly on the use of violence. In this way, they can enrich themselves and pay for the means to stay in power. 1 Country for sale – how Cambodia’s elite has captured the country’s extractive industries Map Glossary of key terms Contents Recommendations Summary Chapter I: Cambodia’s extractive industries – the stakes are high Minerals – an introduction Oil and gas – an introduction Cambodia today: From democracy experiment to one-party kleptocracy Box 1: Wasted wood – the lessons of illegal logging Box
