TRANSPORTATION OF THE MACHINE DURING TEST With lack of CMAC transport vehicle big enough to move demining machine from port to the test field and via versa, Transido which is a private transportation company, had been hired to provide this services under close cooperation with CMAC. During transportation, transido took care of transport, safety and insurance while CMAC would conduct the offload and reload the machine to/from truck trailer or to/from ship at international Sihanouk ville port. Road assessment and route selection prior to transportation will be done by CMAC and transido.

To open access road to the test site at Siem Reap, a poor, weak wooden bridge was dismantle and a new concrete bridge strong enough to support the gross weight of the demining machines was constructed. In other area, steel plates had been temporary laid on top of the existing pipe culvert to strengthen the structure and potholes had been refilled by earth/rock or leveled by CMAC bulldozer.

  • Cambodia: Comfrel's Report on Irregularities in Voter List Revision
    Cambodia: Comfrel’s Report on Irregularities in Voter List Revision and Voter Registration During the process of voter list revision and voter registration for 2007, lasting from September 15 to October 20, 2007, COMFREL has deployed around 200 observers to observe in 400 communes/sangkats across 24 provinces/cities.1 In general, COMFREL observes that both the political and security environment have been improved, although some voters used to or have felt concerns about insecurity, as in previous pre-national election periods. COMFREL highly appreciates the efforts of the National Election Committee (NEC) and officials at all levels, especially village and commune authorities, who have been carrying out voter list revision and voter registration. In some communes, clerks and councils have worked together to create mobile registration working groups to register voters in villages. However, COMFREL observes that the speed of voter registration this year is slower than that of last year. According to NEC temporary results, dated September 28, 2007, by September 26, 2007, in 1,608 communes/sangkats across 24 provinces/cities, the number of newly registered voters was 233,776, which represents 34% of the NEC estimate of 682,459. For the same period in 2006, the rate of voter registration was 47% (273,477 of an estimated 577,205 new voters to be registered). Meanwhile, COMFREL has doubts about the NEC’s unclear estimation on the number of voters to be registered, as the NEC made a wrong estimation number of new voters to be registered in 2006 (estimating around 570,000 new voters while in reality the number had increased to 1.2 million).

  • Poverty and Socioeconomic Condition
    Uplands Irrigation and Water Resources Management Sector Project (RRP CAM 44328) POVERTY AND SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITION A. Introduction 1. This report presents the socioeconomic and poverty situation in the project areas of the Uplands Irrigation and Water Resources Management Sector Project in Cambodia. The project areas are located in the provinces of Battambang and Kampong Thom. The proposed project is planned to enhance agricultural and rural economic productivity through increased efficiency of irrigation systems and improved management of water resources. It will be implemented in two irrigation schemes, namely, Prek Chik Irrigation Scheme located in Battambang Province and Taing Krasaing Irrigation Scheme located in Kampong Thom Province. The social and poverty assessment of the project examines the socioeconomic conditions in the project areas and identifies the population that will be impacted. It identifies the existing irrigation and agriculture situation in relation to poverty condition of the existing population within the proposed irrigation schemes. It presents the poverty situation in terms of the poverty rate and identifies the vulnerable population which may be impacted by the project. B. Development Scenario and Socioeconomic Development Policies and Plans 2. Over the last decade, Cambodia has been experiencing economic development with a growth rate of 10.2% for the period of 2004–2008. Though the gross domestic product (GDP) decreased to 0.1 in 2009, it recovered in 2010 and 2011 with a growth rate of 6.0%. Agriculture, fisheries and forestry have shown tremendous growth in 2005 with 15.7% compared to other sectors such as industry with 12.7% and services with 13.1%.

    mCÄmNÐlÉkßrkm<úCa Banteay Meanchey Province : June 21/ 1999 - June 25, 1999 On the afternoon of June 21, 1999, the Documentation Center of Cambodia sent a mapping team composed of Mr. Sin Khin, responsible for contact with local authorities and also interviews with witnesses, Mr. Ouch Sam Oeun, the Global Positioning System Unit (GPS) operator to record geographical positions of killing pits, memorials and prisons, Mr. Vanthan Peou Dara, responsible for filling information in site forms and helped interview witnesses, Mr. Yin Nean, responsible for drawing map of pits and prisons, and Mrs. Iem Sokym was a report writer. We flew from Phnom Penh to Battambang and we traveled in a car from Battambang to Banteay Meanchey Province. At 3.30 PM our team got off the plan in Battambang Province and continued our journey in a car along 70 km road towards Banteay Meanchey Province. We arrived in Banteay Meanchey Provincial town at 5:30 PM . Next day, June 22, 1999 at 8:30 AM, our team went to Banteay Meanchey Provincial office to ask the provincial authority for information about the geographical locations of districts to which we were going. Unfortunately, we did not have chance to meet the provincial governor because the governor had already gone to Banteay Chhmar temple to meet with Thai delegation since June 21, 1999. We, however, met with Mr. Diep Chhuon, deputy chief of provincial cabinet. He let us know that after the election 1998, Banteay Ampil District has not been under Banteay Meanchey Province, but Oddor Meanchey Province. If we want to go there, we have to go to meet with Oddor Meanchey Provincial governor in advance.

  • CCHR Media Alert ‐ Phnom Penh, 30 April 2012
    CCHR Media Alert ‐ Phnom Penh, 30 April 2012 Villagers will rally at a Public Forum in Battambang on 3 May 2012 over controversial injunction of Battambang Judge Around 400 villagers from Boeung Pi Point, Kraper Seseb Village, Lvea Commune, Bavel District, Battambang Province and Prasat Rang, Khcheay Village, Takong Commune, Malai District, Banteay Meanchey Province will be rallying at a public forum on “Human Rights and Development”organized by the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) on 3 May 2012 from 1:30 pm‐5:00pm at Boeung Pi Point, Kraper Seseb Village, Lvea Commune, Bavel District, Battambang Province. During the public forum, the participants will discuss the injunction issued by Battambang Judge, Mr. Sa Ouen Kosal Mony on 29 February 2012 that offered Oknha Song Thorn and two other men, Tun Bunthoeun and Khun Tehsy, the right to enjoy on 638 hectares of land currently farmed by some 300 families in Boeung Pi Point, Kraper Seseb Village, Lvea Commune, Bavel District, Battambang Province and Prasat Rang, Khcheay Villages, Takong Commune, Malai District, Banteay Meanchey Province. The public forum will offer the villagers an opportunity to raise their issues and concerns, and request local authorities, government ministries and other relevant institutions, as well as civil society, to help them find a peaceful and acceptable solution. Land conflict in Boeung Pi Point and Prasat Rang has been a re‐occurring problem since 2006 when Oknha Song Thorn, Tun Bunthoeun and Pen Ke took bulldozers and razed over 600 hectares of land that villagers had previously used for farming. After hundreds of villagers took part in a number of protests to voice their anger about the land grabbing, in 2006, Battambang and Banteay Meanchey Provincial Authorities issued warrants confiscating the land from Oknha Song Thorn, TunBunthoeun and Pen Ke, with the land being kept as state property.
