THE PROJECT A. Rationale 1. Improved macroeconomic stability and public financial management reforms have helped Cambodia’s economy grow over the past decade. Gross domestic product (GDP) was 7% in 2014 and is expected to remain at 6.9% during 2015 to 2016.1Agriculture sector is among the main contributors with 29% share in the national GDP. The sector employs 72.3% of country’s workforce or an estimated five million people. Livelihoods of 80% Cambodians are dependent on agriculture.2 2. The farming systems in Cambodia are largely subsistence oriented. Agriculture is mostly based on rainfed production systems focused on paddy rice production. Even though Cambodia has become self-sufficient in rice and has an exportable surplus, still rice-based farming systems have low income. Despite the annual surplus of 3.3 million tons of paddy, nearly one-quarter of the provinces face food deficit. 11% of households are considered food insecure with many facing a deficit for 1–2 months each year.3 3. Rainfall distribution and river discharges have significant seasonal variability in Cambodia, affecting sustained agriculture production and increasing vulnerability. Timely availability of water and its efficient management is of prime importance to enhance agriculture productivity and for diversification of agriculture and rural economy. Deteriorating irrigation infrastructure is seriously compromising this. Climate change may further affect water availability, particularly during peak requirement, thus further reducing agriculture productivity. 4. Improving agricultural productivity, crop diversification, irrigation and water resources management, and water storage capacity are among the major thrusts of the Government's National Strategy. Irrigated agriculture is given high priority to ensure food security and to further develop the rural economy. Out of the 3.98 million hectares (ha) of agricultural land in Cambodia, about 1.3 million hectares is in command area of 2,730 irrigation systems.4 Most of the irrigation systems are either dysfunctional or under-performing due to deteriorated infrastructure, lack of resources for rehabilitation, and inadequate operation and maintenance (O&M). The two core irrigation systems selected by the project have total command area of 20,200 ha but only 1,015 ha is cultivate during dry season and about 11,000 ha in wet season due to water unavailability. The project will increase the cultivated area to about 28,000 ha during wet and dry seasons by ensuring irrigation supplies. 5. Irrigation consumes about 70% of the Cambodia’s water. Efficient, effective and sustainable management of country’s water resources largely depends upon how smartly irrigation systems are managed by optimizing the utilization of water commensurate with seasonal water requirements of the crops, with minimum conveyance and field application losses. Increased public investments in irrigation infrastructure along with introduction of modernized operational management will ensure increased efficiency and productivity of the irrigation systems. The project’s proposed interventions will enhance agricultural and rural economic productivity through increased efficiency of irrigation systems and improved management of water resources in uplands of Kampong Thom and Battambang provinces. 6. The Project will capitalize on the policy and legal reforms and institutional strengthening done under the ADB financed Water Resources Management Sector 1 The World Bank.

This will ensure sustainability of Project investments. 7. The project will also develop synergies with the ongoing Climate Resilient Rice Commercialization Sector Development

The data received from some licensees may not up to the required level of accuracy and hence the information provided in this report may be taken as indicative. This report is for dissemination to the Royal Government, institutions, investors and public desirous to know about the situation of the power sector of the Kingdom of Cambodia during the year 2012. With addition of more HV transmission system and MV sub-transmission system, more and more licensees are getting connected to the grid supply. This has resulted in improvement in the quality of supply to more consumers. By end of 2012, more than 91% of the consumers are connected to the grid system. More licensees are now supplying electricity for 24 hours a day. The grid supply has reduced the cost of supply and consequently the tariff for supply to consumers. Due to lower cost and other measures taken by Royal Government of Cambodia, in 2012 there has been a substantial increase in the number of consumers availing electricity supply.

  • 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%.

Exactly one year later, that country's ruler. Prince Norodom Sihanouk, was overthrown and the Vietnam War, com bined with a new civil war, to tear the nation apart for the next five years. The United States bombing of the countryside continued (now publicly) and increased from 1970 to August 1973. when Congress imposed a halt. Nearly half of the US bom bing tonnage was dropped in the last six months. The total was 540,000 tons. Rural Cambodia was destroyed, and 'Democratic Kampuchea' rose in its ashes. The emergent Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK) regime, led by Pol Pot, had profited greatly from the U.S.

BACKGROUND TO THE VPA PROJECT’S WORK IN KAMPONG THOM PROVINCE Background to Kampong Thom Province Kampong Thom Province is located in the center of Cambodia and is bordered by the provinces of Preah Vihear to the north, Kampong Cham and Kampong Chhnang to the south, Kratie to the east, and Siem Reap to the west. It has a total land area of 15,061 km². The province has eight districts; namely, Baray, Kampong Svay, Stung Saen, Prasat Balangk, Prasat Sambau, Santuk, Staung, and Sandan. Kampong Thom Provincial Town is located 162 kilometers north of Phnom Penh. The province has a population of around 570,000 people, most of whom are engaged in farming and the timber industry. In 1976, Kampong Thom Province was located entirely in the Northern Zone, though parts of the province subsequently became part of the Eastern Zone. According to reports based upon the Renakse Petitions, the total death toll in Kampong Thom Province was 324,547 people. The vast majority—273,342—of the victims were peasants. In addition, 5,092 individuals were left disabled by the regime. During the regime, many people were killed during the construction of large dykes. As of February 2008, the Center’s Mapping Map of Democratic Kampuchea in 1976 Project has found seventeen burial sites (containing over 1600 pits holding around 180,000 corpses), ten prisons and six memorials in the province. Kampong Thom Province proves important to the work of the VPA Project because its inhabitants in 1982-83 account for a large number of the Renakse Petitions held in the Center’s archives.
