Royal Government of Cambodia

·       The Royal Government of Cambodia should accelerate promulgation of the National Resettlement Policy, enacted as a sub-decree, and then enable its implementation by passing legal regulations covering all applicable projects.

Included in the text, but only in the Urban Development section.  It is not included in the Action Plan matrix.

·       The RGC should develop and implement a Resettlement Plan (RP).  The RP in Cambodia should include the actual number of affected people and extent of losses, the applicable policy and legal framework, the processes needed for asset valuation, compensation, relocation, rehabilitation and environment protection, responsibilities in delivering and monitoring entitlements, cost, time frame for land acquisition and resettlement measures, and consultation with grievance mechanisms for the affected people.

Included in the text, but not included in the Action Plan matrix.

Donors, NGOs and Civil Society

·       Donors should insist on transparency and accountability from the RGC on resettlement issues.  The donors should play an important role as external monitors and watchdogs on all resettlement activities involved in their projects.

Not specifically included, though there is reference in the text to fact that two NGOs had “organized about 180 squatter settlements…federated them with other communities and significantly empowered many of them in the process.”

·       NGOs and civil society should also monitor and evaluate resettlement activities in Cambodia.  NGOs based in affected communities should be directly involved in resettlement issues at the local level.  They should report to stakeholders, relevant NGOs and civil society and others about the actual situation of resettlement in Cambodia.

Not specifically included, except for reference cited above. There is also reference to “participatory monitoring and evaluation of the impacts of… relocations…”
