PROJECT DESCRIPTION A.1 Project Objective 1. The Tonle Sap Sustainable Livelihoods Project (TSSLP) was supported by a grant from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) with effective date of 9 June 2006 and completion date of December 2010. The context of the TSSLP was the Tonle Sap Initiative, which is a partnership of organisations and people working to meet the poverty and environment challenges of the Tonle Sap based on the Tonle Sap Basin Strategy. The Project was closely allied to the Tonle Sap Environmental Management Project (TSEMP)1 and the Commune Council Development Project (CCDP)2. 2. The main objective of the TSSLP was to improve livelihoods by increasing access to assets in the five provinces that adjoin the Tonle Sap (Kampong Chhnang, Pursat, Battambang, Siem Reap and Kampong Thom). The Project area encompassed the buffer zone and Core Areas and specifically covers 37 communes, comprising 316 villages with a population of 287,430 in 54,857 households. These communes qualify because they pursue livelihood activities in the buffer zone3. A.2 Project Components 3. The Ministry of Interior (MoI) was the Executing Agency (EA). The Project’s Design and Monitoring Framework had three outputs to achieve the following outcomes: Output 1: Community-driven Development is supported. MoI was the Implementing Agency for this Output. The purpose of decentralisation and de-concentration is to devolve responsibilities, functions and power to the lowest practicable level to deliver demand driven services more equitably, efficiently and effectively. The first driver of success was the availability of finance to the decentralised bodies. This was being achieved by the direct transfer of capital from central government to the Commune/Sangkat Fund (C/SF) managed by the Commune Councils (CCs). The Project was tasked with the establishment of the Community Livelihood Fund (CLF) to finance small-scale community-driven activities planned and agreed on at village and commune levels. Output 2: Core areas are safeguarded.The core areas are reservoirs of natural capital that strengthen the Tonle Sap's resilience in the face of ever-increasing pressures and contribute directly to fisheries productivity. Protecting their functions, products, and attributes will contribute appreciably to sustainable livelihoods. The fishing lots that overlap, sometimes totally, with the core areas provide a degree of protection of sorts but they compromise their conservation function: they maximize the fish harvest and private economic rent with no regard for sustainability. Implementing a robust core area management system depends on a solid understanding of the biological functions of the core areas (as well as sanctuaries) in the broader lake ecosystem; the dynamics of resource use and the livelihood strategies of the population of the core areas; and an effective management framework for the core areas. At the time of Project design the DOF endorsed the strategy of abolishing the fishing lots in the core areas in favor of establishing fish sanctuaries and a management system compatible with 1 The Tonle Sap Environmental Management Project (Loan: CAM 33418-01) w as designed to enhance systems and develop the capacity for natural resource management coordination and planning, community-based management of natural resources, and conservation of biodiversity in the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve (TSBR) TSEMP w as completed
