REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001
3.1 Aims
• The program included 3 components in 2001
• To train 200 farmers to Pond Rear fingerlings to harvest, (~60 day old to market
size). This was accomplished through a 4-day training program that was
complimented by the supply of 200 fingerlings free to trainee farmers plus follow-up
farm visits throughout the first season. The component also included follow-up
support and evaluation of 155 farmers that received this training in 2000
• To provide additional support to 100 poorer families which do not have ponds. This
component included training in pond digging technique as well as in-kind support
through a food-for-rice program. The rice being recompense for income generation
foregone whilst the families dig ponds3
. These families would be amongst the 200
trained to rear fingerlings to harvest.
• To train 10 farmers to rear fry to fingerlings (15 days to ~60 days old). These farmers
would then purchase fry from CFS at a wholesale price, rear them and retail to the
wider community4
.
3.2 Implementation
• An aquaculture extension project was developed for the 2000-2001 season. It was
designed over several days of consultation with the extension staff. This was
presented in the form of an agreement and endorsed by the KamDAFF. Program
components on file5
• The team included6
o Sor Sorin Extension Team Leader
o King Sophanny Extension Officer
o Pheum Phalla Extension Officer
o Sim Vanhieng Liaison Officer
• The extension staff was primarily responsible for implementing the program as
described whilst the Liaison Officer was responsible for encouraging cohesion within
the overall program, particularly between extension and production components 7
.
• Coordination of the program was maintained through regular communications and
meetings8
. In addition staff where required to provide monthly reports9
3.3 Program implementation
3.3.1 Pond Digging 2001
• 101 farmers were selected for the pond-digging program10
. With the intention of
including these farmers in the rearing pond training, (fingerling to harvest) once their
ponds were complete.

Distribution of farmers selected for pond digging
• WFP agreed to provide rice to 27 of the participating farmers living in WFP target
villages and IFAD/GTZ agreed to provide rice to the remaining 74 farmers. This was
a commitment of between 300 to 400 kg of rice per farmer calculated in lieu of
income earning potential forgone whilst digging.
• The DAFF team and WFP staff undertook an initial site assessment of the selected
sites (ensuring appropriateness) and then collective agreements where signed
including Commune and District Chief representation.
• Farmers where trained in Feb in pond digging technique. Pond digging and
monitoring commenced. However, a particularly wet period in March11
caused
localized flooding that prevented farmers from completing their ponds. A collective
decision involving the extension team and farmer representatives was made to
postpone the program and resume next season. In hindsight, the wet period was
followed by an extended dry period that would have allowed the farmers to complete
their ponds.
• Further negotiation with WFP in Aug resulted in their preparedness to resume their
initial in-kind commitment but for all the 101 farmers as long as the ponds where
completed in the current calendar year. At the time of this report there was some
concern that the farmers would not be able to achieve this and that the support
would be forfeit.

3.3.2 Pond rearing (fingerlings to harvest) 2001
• The selection of farmers for the Pond Rearing program and identification of 13 group
leaders was made in April12
. (This involved some re-selection as a consequence of
the pond digging farmers postponing their projects).

• Of the group selected, all farmers had established ponds and the average pond size
was 218m2
. They where then trained in May as per the program schedule.
• These farmers also received an allocation of fodder legume seed. Fodder legumes
have considerable potential in the district as a means of improving soil fertility,
quality of grazing, fish feed options and soil conservation. Farmers where given a
brief outline of the benefits and management before 100g allocations of seed where
distributed via the Group Leaders. This they where encouraged to spread around
their ponds. The seed, training of the extension team and extension posters was
provided by the IFAD/GTZ program13
.

• Once their harvest was completed a sample of the farmers completed a qualitative
survey to assess perceived outcomes. The survey was based on a sample of 25/152
that included 10 women and 15 men15
.
The feedback was positive:
o Farmers where happy with the outcomes, they intended to continue.
Prepared by Lund & Associates page 10 of 43

o They where prepared to assist friends and neighbours interested in adopting
the same technology.
o The survey also showed a very high level of involvement of the children
within the family.
• Quantitative analysis of this component was based on a survey conducted July
2001. The survey was based on a second sample of 30/152 that included 13 women
and 17 men16
.
o Participants in 2000 collectively harvested approximately 12tonne of fish.
o The average yield was 77kg /210m2
(37kg /100 m2
) in 6 to 8 months.
o The family consumed the majority of these fish produced whilst some was
supplied to neighbours and some were sold in the village market to provide
income for other purchases and to buy fingerlings for the next season.
o Assuming a direct cost of approximately $USD4, 000 to implement the
program, the net financial worth of the component to the community was
11,400 - 4,000 = $USD 7, 400

3.3.4 Farmer Fish Stations 2001
• The intention of this component was to establish a network of satellite ‘Farmer Fish
Stations (FFS) to which CFS will wholesale 9 to 15 day stock. The FFS will retail to
the wider community when the stock matures to approximately 60 days.
• At this early stage the program has focused on farmers in the vicinity of CFS
because:
o These farmers live in the area that is central to the catchment area for the
program
o Back-up support is readily available from CFS
o The area is less prone to seasonal flooding than others in the catchment
area.
• This component is particularly important because:
o It provides some farmers with an additional income earning activity
Prepared by Lund & Associates page 11 of 43
RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA
REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001
o It has the potential to greatly enhance local technology exchange as these
farmers become a focal point for expertise and assistance within the
community network
o It provides DAFF with an additional vehicle for community training and
information exchange.
o It allows CFS to increase production capacities from an estimated 100,000 to
300,000 units per year to 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 units per year.
• The selection of farmers for the Farmer Fish Stations was reduced from 10 to 717
.
This was because the extension team was unable to locate enough farmers from
previous programs that fulfilled the selection criteria18

• The farmers received training in April and then where assisted in setting up their
ponds. They received close technical support and start-up equipment including
hapas, oxygen, plastic bags and seine nets.19
A collective wholesale supply contract
was signed (including village level authorities)20
, and the farmers took delivery of the
first batch of fry in August. Delivery involved two stages
o Farmers attended CFS to collect carp and barb.21
o APHEDA purchased Tilapia from SCALE and delivered them directly to the
farmers.22
• Gross margin estimates where calculated as follows for FFSs.

3.4 Recommendations
3.4.1 General
• Over the years that KamDAFF has been partnering APHEDA it is clear that
KamDAFF has gained the experience and the staff to manage this program without
line management from APHEDA. Future programs should be negotiated on the
basis of fee-for-service whereby APHEDA makes funds available according to the
number of participants trained.
• Identifying one extension officer to be responsible for each of the Pond Digging,
Pond Rearing and FFS programs would benefit the program. The extension Officers
could still function as a team but lines of responsibility and the opportunity for
personal development would be enhanced.
• The program underutilizes the extension team. Future programs should negotiate to
a minimum of 150 farmers per officer. This figure to be increased by 50 farmers per
Prepared by Lund & Associates page 15 of 43
RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA
REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001
officer each year as more appropriate extension techniques become established,
particularly group extension.
3.4.2 Pond digging program
• The promissory arrangement negotiated with WFP at the time of this report must be
monitored/facilitated by APHEDA if farmers are to receive a satisfactory outcome.
• Whilst this component is yet to provide substantive outcomes, it has the potential to
be a very important component of the overall program because of the opportunity it
offers poorer members of the community that would otherwise be unable to take up
domestic fish farming.
• Continued cooperation with other organisations able to provide rice for ‘food for
work’ arrangements should be pursued.
• A Memorandum of Understanding between the respective organisations should
underpin negotiations. Where negotiations are conducted on a less formal basis
APHEDA’s program may be compromised. It is worth noting that APHEDA was
fortunate that IFAD/GTZ was prepared to provide assistance when WFP initially
opted to withdraw in-kind support for over 70 farmers deemed ineligible under WFP
revision of target villages. It would not have been possible to continue with the
program at the time without this promise of support.
• The end of January/February should conclude pond digging each year where
possible, given the timing of the main rice harvest. This is well before the wet season
begins but it ensures that unseasonably early rains do not compromise future
programs.
• Pond digging could be extended to include community ponds / Fish refuge projects
3.4.3 Pond Rearing
• The program has an initial dropout rate of approximately 10% before training is
complete. Future farmer selections should include an additional 10% in numbers to
compensate. This will have no significant impact on project costs but will improve
community benefit.
• Given that the allocation of free fish seed has been revised to 200 units in 2001, an
evaluation should follow that considers the propensity of participants to purchase
additional seed, the impact on participation and the impact on overall yields.
• The program should include a schedule of monitoring and evaluation of farmers that
extends beyond the first year to determine whether or not the program is
encouraging sustained change. To avoid excessive cost this could be achieved by
using a reducing sample size each year after completion.
• All components should include a short session on the use of fodder legumes,
moringa, sesbania and leucina. This session should be complimented by distribution
of some seed and/or seedlings. WID Centre nurseries could be commissioned to
propagate these tree seedlings.
3.4.4 Community ponds / Fish refuge
• Whilst the program has the potential to assist poor rural communities, the poorest
(landless) people are excluded.
• To overcome this disparity, a further component could be added to the program
whereby community ponds are developed as fish refuges. The refuges then
providing seeding stock for natural fisheries each wet season.23
Prepared by Lund & Associates page 16 of 43
RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA
REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001
• Notably, where the program focuses on native fish stocks it would also contribute to
National Biodiversity Conservation Objectives
3.4.5 Farmer Fish Stations
• Once fingerling sale from the FFSs is complete (assume the end of Sept, this
component will require evaluation, particularly given it’s potential importance to the
overall program and it’s application as a model for other project areas.
• Cooperation with this group should become the responsibility of CFS staff in second
and subsequent years given the wholesaler/retailer relationship that is to be
encouraged.
• The Chhouk District should continue as a focus for FFS development given the
comparative advantages of proximity to CFS, accessibility, water supply and
lessened flood risk. It could develop into an aquaculture ‘precinct’ able to provide fish
seed to a very large catchment.
• Future programs should include resources and training for predator insect traps.

• Initial preparations for production preceded as required, however, a lack of effective
rainfall and high temperatures made it difficult to bring brood stock into season. This
impacted on the production outcomes.

• It was not possible to encourage spawning of Indian carp or Tilapia. The suggestion
was that this was due to the continued high temperatures but issues of inappropriate
inducing hormone for Indian carp and immaturity of the tilapia brood stock may also
have contributed.
• The other species where successful and fry was transferred to nursery ponds to be
advanced to 30-days.
• Whilst the fry where in the ponds the Station experienced an unusually high
infestation of predatory insects especially diving beetle and diving beetle larvae31
.
Only 30,000 units survived to be delivered to IFAD/GTZ. These fish where good
quality.
• The station had continuing difficulty in producing Tilapia. And the decision was made
to purchase 15-day fry from SCALE to ensure target numbers. These where reared
and distributed via the Station.
• Subsequent batches of all other species proved successful.
• Distribution of stock to participants in the Pond Rearing Program was scheduled for
the first week of September.
4.2 Achievements
• CFS commenced a transition from retailing 45 to 60 day old fish seed to that of
wholesaling 9 to 15 day old fish seed. This process has included education of the
client groups including farmers and departmental staff as to the size limitations and
management considerations associated with handling the larger numbers of smaller
fish seed.

• Introduced predatory insect traps using an appropriate technology that is being
adopted by neighbouring concerns and extension program.
• Began informal trial of lemongrass fence as an appropriate technology for predatory
fish management32
.
• Introduced a range of forage legumes via the IFAD/GTZ program33
.
• Established a range of fruit trees, bamboos, legumes shrubs and other utility trees
as a resource to the station and as a future training aid.
• Direct seeded a leucina planting. As a shrub legume leucina has potential as a food
resource for fish production. Seed from the planting should also be made available
to the farming community.34
4.3 Future direction
4.3.1 Market development
• A major influence on the future sustainability of CFS will be the continued
development of a local market. Notwithstanding inherent assumptions and the
influence of other internal and external market factors the following table indicates
that it will take about 8 years to develop a market substantial enough to support CFS
where CFS relies on fish production as the sole income source.

applying the potential market estimate as in the table above, extrapolates to a gross
return to the community in the order of $USD200, 000 pa.
4.3.2 Management & operations
• In order to meet this level of production some additional procedural and capital
improvements will be needed for CFS to be able to meet this level of demand.
• Procedural improvements
o Introduction of clear line management within KamDAFF with responsibility for
strategic planning, staff management, marketing policy, production targets
and financial management
o Introduction of regular stock monitoring schedule
o Introduction of Brood Stock improvement program
o Introduce FFS support service to retain market share
• Capital improvements include
o Construction of one additional hatching tank. As per the specifications of the
tank built in 2001
Prepared by Lund & Associates page 22 of 43
RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA
REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001
o Tiling or latex lining of existing concrete hatching tanks in order to improve
hygiene and handling at hatching.
o Installation of floating hapa system over the main reservoir.
o Development of an on-site fodder resource (to reduce input costs)
o Development of an on-site bamboo resource (to reduce input costs)
o Acquisition of manually operated water pumps (to reduce input costs)
4.3.3 Development of training facility
• Alternately, to increase worth to the community, widen income streams and reduce
reliance on fish seed as the sole income source, CFS should be developed as a
training facility. This would involve:
o Assistance in identification and profiling of market
o Construction of a training shelter and equipment storage
o Assistance with curriculum development
o Identification of boarding arrangements in Chhouk village
o Provision of some training equipment and/or relocation of equipment
previously supplied to KamDAFF
4.4 Recommendations
4.4.1 Revise support
• APHEDA to move to indirect support of CFS and to encourage KamDAFF to take
responsibility for strategic planning, line management and financial sustainability.
This process should include
o Clear definition of the terms under which APHEDA will handover including a
business plan to be ratified by DAFF and APHEDA
o A commitment to purchase quality goods and services from CFS.
o An Official handing over Ceremony.
• KamDAFF should be encouraged to develop CFS as a training facility. To this end,
APHEDA’s support should be
o Assistance in the development of training curriculum and resources.
o A commitment to purchase training services from CFS.
4.4.2 APHEDA as a client
• As it is likely that APHEDA will be CFS’s main client in the 1 to 3 year time frame it
will be appropriate to ensure revenue from goods and services provided to APHEDA
is equivalent to running costs.
o In the first year the total value of product and services purchased by
APHEDA should be equivalent to $5,000, the approximate running cost of
CFS. This should be revised downwards in the second and subsequent years
as CFS begins to develop market.
Prepared by Lund & Associates page 23 of 43
RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA
REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001
o Where APHEDA makes an annual purchase of fish seed from CFS. The
value of the purchase to be calculated on a per unit basis but also
considering the quality of stock and timeliness of supply
o Where APHEDA makes an annual purchase of training services from CFS.
The value of the service to be calculated on a per participant basis.
4.4.3 Target groups for training
• Target groups for training requested by APHEDA should include
o Women and men from other provinces with a view to establishing farm scale
hatcheries in their home villages (this would also depend on micro-credit
support being available on their return).
o Women and men from remote parts of the Kampot province including
Banteay Meas and Anchor Chey provinces with a view to establishing farm
scale hatcheries in their home villages (this would also depend on micro-
credit support being available on their return).
o Participants from the FFSs program with interest in developing farm scale
hatcheries
o Recent graduates with the potential to become part of the CFS team
• As a client of CFS, APHEDA should request Snake Skin Gourami as part of the
annual order. This would provide incentive to investigate the production of this native
species. As other native species come into husbandry, these should also be
ordered.
• Support of the Wholesale/retail network between CFS and FFSs remains important
to the development of local fish seed supply. The current arrangement should be
evaluated Sept with a view to further refinement in ensuing seasons.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA
REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001
5.1 Aims
• An Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Farmer Field School program was developed
for the 2001 season. It was designed by Lim Sou, Senior Agronomist and negotiated
with APHEDA following a pilot program including 2 field schools in 2000. This was
presented in the form of an agreement and endorsed by KamDAFF. Program
components on file.35
• The program included
o 2 Farmer field Schools trained in IPM on rice crops36
o 3 Farmer Field Schools trained in IPM on vegetable crops37
• The team included38
o Lim Sou Senior Agronomist, Team Leader
o Miss Chea Sinat Trainer
o Meng Seng Rithy Trainer
o Hearn Ngon Trainer
o Mrs. Nut Narvy Trainer
• Lim Sou was responsible for implementing the program39
. It was not necessary for
APHEDA to provide line management support. In addition Lim Sou was required to
provide monthly reports40
5.2 Implementation
• The program proceeded with Lim Sou identifying target groups within the community
and verifying their appropriateness with APHEDA. Overlap with the Aquaculture
Extension Program was encouraged where practical, however this was not always
possible as the selection criteria for the two programs differed.
• Each school involved short theory sessions that where followed by the establishment
of small-scale rice or vegetable crops (usually about 1 hectare) on land made
available by one of the participants.
• The farmers come together on a weekly basis to establish and monitor the crop’s
progress, initiate trial plots, and decide on management options.
• There are five main aspects to the field schools
o Trialing of improved fertilizer application techniques whereby fertilizer is
applied at select stages during crop growth rather than as one application at
crop establishment.
o Questioning the appropriateness/timeliness of pest management using ‘leaf
or stem cutting’ experiments. The leaf area of sample plants is cut back and
the effect of their yield is measured. This demonstrates how crops can
absorb considerable damage from pest insects without significant impact on
yields
o Comparison of IPM options with conventional pesticide application. IPM
options include hand picking, rouging, and some pesticide application where
deemed appropriate (eg. pesticide remains a good option for aphids on
legume crops). Conventional pesticide application was as per company
recommendations
Prepared by Lund & Associates page 26 of 43
RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA
REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001
o Learning about pest insects and beneficial insects and their ecology using
practical techniques including regular field collections, population sampling
and insect zoos.
o Development of group problem solving / decision making skills. This is
inherent in the manner in which the schools are conducted.

was typically more responsive than the legume crop.

• The IPM trials showed a consistent increase in yield. Previous farmer field schools
have achieved increases averaging 12.5% (wet rice field schools conducted in 2000)
but the high yields seen this season (whilst apparently masking the differences in the
treatments), translated into substantial increases in gross margins.

Increased crop value 6,394,500 reil
Change in gross margin $USD 24.20/ha/crop
• At the same time the IPM options resulted in a reduction in input costs of up to 10%.
This was largely accredited to the reduction in pesticide usage.
• The pesticide options were typically seen to be ineffective because of rapid re-
infestation by pest insects between spray applications. This is a common
phenomenon in small-scale intensive systems. The other advantages of reduced
reliance on pesticides were also stressed during the schools.
• The other advantages of reduced pesticide usage where also stressed during the
course of the field schools including reduction in initial cash outlay, environment,
health and safety.
• The program has proven to be an excellent model for the future direction of co-
operation between APHEDA and partners such as KamDAFF.
o In this instance the operatives are working independently of line management
support from APHEDA.
o Project goals, objectives, target groups, resourcing are negotiated between
KamDAFF and APHEDA.
o APHEDA’s direct involvement was limited to formal presentations to
participants to mark the end of each farmer field school and reporting.
5.3 Recommendations
• Continue to support this program with a view to using experienced trainers to assist
in new areas.
• The program currently inputs quality vegetable or rice seed in order to run each field
school and the participants divide the seed collected at harvest. This provides an
excellent opportunity to introduce new and improved vegetable and rice varieties.
This should become one of the objectives of each school.
• The collective problem solving skills that develop over the course of each school are
recognised as an important output. Farmer groups are able to apply this skill to other
problems that confront their communities. FAO has recognised this and developed a
‘ life-skills’ training component that is run at the end of each farmer field school. A

6.1 Background
• In order to introduce an Integrated Agriculture (Permaculture) component to the rural
development program an assessment was made of potential partnership with
KamDAFF and/or DWVA, WID Centres. It was decided that the preferred option
would be to build the capacity of the WID Centres and staff with the aid of KamDAFF
expertise. The WID Centres would then be able to provide training targeted at young
women of the rural community. Justification.
o The WID Centres are distributed across the current program catchment area
and have staff on hand most of the time. They are also in regular
communication with the Provincial Centre and have experience working with
APHEDA
o Each of the WID Centres includes a land area that could be used for
demonstration of appropriate practices. This was regarded as particularly
pertinent as the surrounding rural communities lacked suitable demonstration
of appropriate practices
o Plantings established at the centres could be used as a source of quality
propagation material for future training and distribution within the community.
Especially selected fruit trees
o The WID staff work primarily with women, they being the primary target group
for training as women and children are typically responsible for home
gardens and orchards.
o The WID Centres had shown a strong interest in Integrated Agriculture.
Some had undertaken some activities including attempts at tree growing and
fish rearing41
(fish seed supplied to Dang Tung through CFS in 2000).
• CFS was also included in this program in recognition of it’s potential as a training
centre in the future.
6.2 Implementation
• Course participants where nominated by DWVA42
from each of the target WID
centres. A brief TNA indicated that most WID staff had limited experience but that
KamDAFF staff was well placed to provide training assistance.
• The program included three (3) components.
o Training WID Centre staff as trainers in home vegetable garden techniques,
tree propagation techniques and in farm planning
o A small tree nursery, orchard and home vegetable garden to be established
at each of the centres
o Initiate student training
• The program was designed in conjunction with WID staff, APHEDA staff and after
consultation with a range of similar programs operating in Cambodia. This was
presented in the form of an agreement and endorsed by the Partner. Program

6.2.1 Home vegetable gardens
• The home vegetable garden training was based around a “sheet compost” system
for the dry season that allows maximum use of the home garden when alternated
with a conventional bare earth garden that are typically built in the wet season. The
sheet compost system also provides best utilization of green waste/compost
resources and is very water efficient.
• The training was divided into three main components. Note that much of the theory
is applicable to sheet compost and bear earth garden systems.
o The first stage considered nutrient cycling and garden construction. At this
stage the trainees constructed a garden at the Kampot Provincial Centre.
o A week later the compost layer had begun to cool and planting commenced.
The second stage focused on crop combinations and rotations. The group
then planted the garden.
o The final stage was conducted 1-month later and primarily involved use of
natural pesticides. 44
• During the course of the training, gardens were established in each of the other
centres. In each instance the centres experienced some difficulty that compromised
the gardens and prevented any substantial harvest.
o Construction of the gardens did not commence until February. Green waste
was not readily available and had to be bought. Also the hot conditions where
not conducive to early plant growth. Construction should commence in
Nov/Dec
o Vegetable seed sourced in Cambodia is typically of poor quality.
Consequently Quality AA seed was used from Australia however this failed to
perform adequately. Several months after the initial sowing a second batch of
seed was brought from Thailand. This performed much better but was
compromised by the lateness of planting.
o The Kampot provincial Centre harbored an exceptionally large rat population.
They repeatedly ate seed and seedlings despite control efforts.
o There was difficulty in siting the garden at Chumkiri because the centre was
still under construction and property boundaries where not well defined.
• The problems encountered with the gardens provided opportunity for a collective
review. In each instance the problems where seen as solvable and that the gardens
would succeed in the following season.
• At the end of the dry season conversion to bare earth gardens commenced Seed
originating from Thailand was used.
6.2.2 Small nursery - Tree growing
• The tree-growing component was designed to provide grounding in each of the main
propagation techniques. The intent was to ensure that each centre was able to pass
on some skills to the students and that they would also be able to produce some
trees for their own purposes.
• It included some basic theory on plant physiology, nutrient cycling and nursery
management. However the bulk of the training was practically orientated and
included:
Prepared by Lund & Associates page 32 of 43
RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA
REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001
o Media preparation, using local technology
o Seed handling, including harvest, cleaning, labeling and storage
o Growing trees from seed45
, including small and large seeded species.
o Cuttings, air layering and grafting46
. Especially locally regarded fruit tree
species such as bamboo47
, Mangoes and Jack-fruit
• The training was followed by assistance in the establishment of a small nursery in
each of the WID Centres in which the WID staff where encouraged to produce their
own trees48
.
6.2.3 Site Planning
• A one-day planning session was held at each WID centre (and at CFS) to develop a
site plans that considered site conditions, infrastructure and future developments
and incorporated:49
o Vegetable gardens
o Trees including fruit tree, timber trees, medicinal trees, ornamental trees etc.
o Fish ponds
6.2.4 Site construction & orchard establishment

Location of WID Centres + CFS
6.4 Recommendations
• 35m of channel were refurbished at the Kampot Provincial Centre as a
demonstration of the potential for fish rearing and mosquito control. There is an
opportunity to refurbish a further 1,000m+ however it is difficult to justify because
extension of the technique is limited to a relatively small part of the surrounding
landscape.
• The Kampot District WID Centre was a late inclusion in the program. As a
consequence, any earthworks must be delayed until the ensuing dry season.
• At the time of this report the tree-planting component was still in process. Some
follow-up will be needed to ensure the trees are being appropriately managed. Once
all trees are planted an inventory should be carried out at each site and a
comprehensive photograph record made for future reference.
• Where the WID Centres receive continuing support for tree growing, an annual
production schedule should be prepared indicating tree types, numbers and
intended application.
• Where the WID Centres receive continuing support for vegetable growing an annual
production schedule should be prepared indicating vegetable types, volumes and
intended applications
• A major concern regarding training in home gardens is the low rate of adoption. This
problem is widely reported. As a means of overcoming this, many programs are
turning to child nutrition as the main focus with home gardens being a part of the
solution. It has proven particularly effective where young mother are the target
group. The WID Centres could be assisted to adopt this strategy. Mao Phum (Dang
Tung WID) has appropriate training and she may be able to assist in the
development of this approach.
• As each centre now has fishponds with potential as training facilities and/or fish seed
production, WID staff should be included in Aquaculture training in ensuing seasons.

aware of HIV/AIDS,
o Its nature

o Its implications
o Living with AIDS
7.2 Implementation
• A program was designed in conjunction with the IPM and Aquaculture programs for
the 2001 season. It was designed by Sim Vanhieng and negotiated with APHEDA.

o 160 participants in Pond Rearing programs56
• The training was conducted by Sim Vanhieng57
Pre-training and post-training
questionnaires indicating that the training increased awareness from 10% to 80%58
7.3 Recommendations
• The program is proving both effective and low cost. The policy of including this
HIV/AIDS component should be continued.
• As a model, addition of short-course components such as HIV/AIDS Awareness (or
the vegetable gardens and trees) into mainstream training programs, may have
similar application in areas such as
o Child nutrition
o Small business management
o Seed banks
o Micro-credit
o Life skills training

8 Community Forestry
8.1 Background
• In the early 1990’s APHEDA supported KamDAFF in the establishment of several
forestry plantations. The plantations were primarily Acacia and Eucalypt.
• At two of the plantations have failed as a result of pilfering, encroachment and grass
fires59
. The remaining plantations are nearing harvest.
• KamDAFF now has an interest in generating revenue from these plantations but is
also recognises the potential of developing community forestry as an option for local
rural communities
8.2 Implementation
• A scoping exercise was agreed in order to assess the potential for community
forestry at the plantation that remains at Thmor Roung.
• A terms of reference was drawn up and KamDAFF nominated a staff member to
undertake the works:
o Chouen Sara, Forestry Officer60
Prepared by Lund & Associates page 38 of 43
RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA
REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001
• Chouen Sara was responsible for undertaking the scoping exercise.61
Project co-
ordination was maintained at meetings with APHEDA in Kampot and via progress
reports62
. At the time of this report the first progress report had been received.
8.3 Recommendations
• APHEDA’s support of forestry in Kampot should be reviewed pending the outcome
of the scoping report and forest management options imposed by MAFF.
• In the event that MAFF opts to harvest the Thmor Roung plantation in order to
generate revenue, initial estimates indicate that revenue will be in the order of
$USD200, 000. APHEDA should recommend that $50,000 be used to replant the
plantation and to maintain a community forestry program.63
• There seems to be uncertainty about forestry management imperatives and
Community Forestry objectives within KamDAFF. KamDAFF should be asked to
clarify the position regarding current and future management of all existing
plantations.
• At present, KamDAFF provides no updated information regarding plantations
although this information is gathered for the benefit of MAFF. Updated information

  • 7. RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001 3.1 Aims • The program included 3 components in 2001 • To train 200 farmers to Pond Rear fingerlings to harvest, (~60 day old to market size). This was accomplished through a 4-day training program that was complimented by the supply of 200 fingerlings free to trainee farmers plus follow-up farm visits throughout the first season. The component also included follow-up support and evaluation of 155 farmers that received this training in 2000 • To provide additional support to 100 poorer families which do not have ponds. This component included training in pond digging technique as well as in-kind support through a food-for-rice program. The rice being recompense for income generation foregone whilst the families dig ponds3 . These families would be amongst the 200 trained to rear fingerlings to harvest. • To train 10 farmers to rear fry to fingerlings (15 days to ~60 days old). These farmers would then purchase fry from CFS at a wholesale price, rear them and retail to the wider community4 . 3.2 Implementation • An aquaculture extension project was developed for the 2000-2001 season. It was designed over several days of consultation with the extension staff. This was presented in the form of an agreement and endorsed by the KamDAFF. Program components on file5 • The team included6 o Sor Sorin Extension Team Leader o King Sophanny Extension Officer o Pheum Phalla Extension Officer o Sim Vanhieng Liaison Officer • The extension staff was primarily responsible for implementing the program as described whilst the Liaison Officer was responsible for encouraging cohesion within the overall program, particularly between extension and production components 7 . • Coordination of the program was maintained through regular communications and meetings8 . In addition staff where required to provide monthly reports9 3.3 Program implementation 3.3.1 Pond Digging 2001 • 101 farmers were selected for the pond-digging program10 . With the intention of including these farmers in the rearing pond training, (fingerling to harvest) once their ponds were complete. Prepared by Lund & Associates page 7 of 43
  • 8. RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001 Pond digging – participants in 2001. Category Number Women 69 Men 31 - Widowed families - 11 - Handicapped families - 10 - Dang Tung WID Centre - 1 Total trainees 101 Distribution of farmers selected for pond digging • WFP agreed to provide rice to 27 of the participating farmers living in WFP target villages and IFAD/GTZ agreed to provide rice to the remaining 74 farmers. This was a commitment of between 300 to 400 kg of rice per farmer calculated in lieu of income earning potential forgone whilst digging. • The DAFF team and WFP staff undertook an initial site assessment of the selected sites (ensuring appropriateness) and then collective agreements where signed including Commune and District Chief representation. • Farmers where trained in Feb in pond digging technique. Pond digging and monitoring commenced. However, a particularly wet period in March11 caused localized flooding that prevented farmers from completing their ponds. A collective decision involving the extension team and farmer representatives was made to postpone the program and resume next season. In hindsight, the wet period was followed by an extended dry period that would have allowed the farmers to complete their ponds. • Further negotiation with WFP in Aug resulted in their preparedness to resume their initial in-kind commitment but for all the 101 farmers as long as the ponds where completed in the current calendar year. At the time of this report there was some concern that the farmers would not be able to achieve this and that the support would be forfeit. Prepared by Lund & Associates page 8 of 43

(This involved some re-selection as a consequence of the pond digging farmers postponing their projects). Pond Rearing – participants in 2001 Category Number Women 85 Men 95 Total trainees 160 Distribution of Pond Rearing participants 2001 • Of the group selected, all farmers had established ponds and the average pond size was 218m2 . They where then trained in May as per the program schedule. • These farmers also received an allocation of fodder legume seed. Fodder legumes have considerable potential in the district as a means of improving soil fertility, quality of grazing, fish feed options and soil conservation. Farmers where given a brief outline of the benefits and management before 100g allocations of seed where distributed via the Group Leaders. This they where encouraged to spread around their ponds. The seed, training of the extension team and extension posters was provided by the IFAD/GTZ program13 . Prepared by Lund & Associates page 9 of 43

The FFS will retail to the wider community when the stock matures to approximately 60 days. • At this early stage the program has focused on farmers in the vicinity of CFS because: o These farmers live in the area that is central to the catchment area for the program o Back-up support is readily available from CFS o The area is less prone to seasonal flooding than others in the catchment area. • This component is particularly important because: o It provides some farmers with an additional income earning activity Prepared by Lund & Associates page 11 of 43

Future programs should be negotiated on the basis of fee-for-service whereby APHEDA makes funds available according to the number of participants trained. • Identifying one extension officer to be responsible for each of the Pond Digging, Pond Rearing and FFS programs would benefit the program. The extension Officers could still function as a team but lines of responsibility and the opportunity for personal development would be enhanced. • The program underutilizes the extension team. Future programs should negotiate to a minimum of 150 farmers per officer. This figure to be increased by 50 farmers per Prepared by Lund & Associates page 15 of 43

RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001 officer each year as more appropriate extension techniques become established, particularly group extension. 3.4.2 Pond digging program • The promissory arrangement negotiated with WFP at the time of this report must be monitored/facilitated by APHEDA if farmers are to receive a satisfactory outcome. • Whilst this component is yet to provide substantive outcomes, it has the potential to be a very important component of the overall program because of the opportunity it offers poorer members of the community that would otherwise be unable to take up domestic fish farming. • Continued cooperation with other organisations able to provide rice for ‘food for work’ arrangements should be pursued. • A Memorandum of Understanding between the respective organisations should underpin negotiations. Where negotiations are conducted on a less formal basis APHEDA’s program may be compromised. It is worth noting that APHEDA was fortunate that IFAD/GTZ was prepared to provide assistance when WFP initially opted to withdraw in-kind support for over 70 farmers deemed ineligible under WFP revision of target villages. It would not have been possible to continue with the program at the time without this promise of support. • The end of January/February should conclude pond digging each year where possible, given the timing of the main rice harvest. This is well before the wet season begins but it ensures that unseasonably early rains do not compromise future programs. • Pond digging could be extended to include community ponds / Fish refuge projects 3.4.3 Pond Rearing • The program has an initial dropout rate of approximately 10% before training is complete. Future farmer selections should include an additional 10% in numbers to compensate. This will have no significant impact on project costs but will improve community benefit. • Given that the allocation of free fish seed has been revised to 200 units in 2001, an evaluation should follow that considers the propensity of participants to purchase additional seed, the impact on participation and the impact on overall yields. • The program should include a schedule of monitoring and evaluation of farmers that extends beyond the first year to determine whether or not the program is encouraging sustained change. To avoid excessive cost this could be achieved by using a reducing sample size each year after completion. • All components should include a short session on the use of fodder legumes, moringa, sesbania and leucina. This session should be complimented by distribution of some seed and/or seedlings. WID Centre nurseries could be commissioned to propagate these tree seedlings. 3.4.4 Community ponds / Fish refuge • Whilst the program has the potential to assist poor rural communities, the poorest (landless) people are excluded. • To overcome this disparity, a further component could be added to the program whereby community ponds are developed as fish refuges. The refuges then providing seeding stock for natural fisheries each wet season.23 Prepared by Lund & Associates page 16 of 43
  • 17. RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001 • Notably, where the program focuses on native fish stocks it would also contribute to National Biodiversity Conservation Objectives 3.4.5 Farmer Fish Stations • Once fingerling sale from the FFSs is complete (assume the end of Sept, this component will require evaluation, particularly given it’s potential importance to the overall program and it’s application as a model for other project areas. • Cooperation with this group should become the responsibility of CFS staff in second and subsequent years given the wholesaler/retailer relationship that is to be encouraged. • The Chhouk District should continue as a focus for FFS development given the comparative advantages of proximity to CFS, accessibility, water supply and lessened flood risk. It could develop into an aquaculture ‘precinct’ able to provide fish seed to a very large catchment. • Future programs should include resources and training for predator insect traps. (See CFS).

This process should include o Clear definition of the terms under which APHEDA will handover including a business plan to be ratified by DAFF and APHEDA o A commitment to purchase quality goods and services from CFS. o An Official handing over Ceremony. • KamDAFF should be encouraged to develop CFS as a training facility. To this end, APHEDA’s support should be o Assistance in the development of training curriculum and resources. o A commitment to purchase training services from CFS. 4.4.2 APHEDA as a client • As it is likely that APHEDA will be CFS’s main client in the 1 to 3 year time frame it will be appropriate to ensure revenue from goods and services provided to APHEDA is equivalent to running costs. o In the first year the total value of product and services purchased by APHEDA should be equivalent to $5,000, the approximate running cost of CFS.

The value of the service to be calculated on a per participant basis. 4.4.3 Target groups for training • Target groups for training requested by APHEDA should include o Women and men from other provinces with a view to establishing farm scale hatcheries in their home villages (this would also depend on micro-credit support being available on their return). o Women and men from remote parts of the Kampot province including Banteay Meas and Anchor Chey provinces with a view to establishing farm scale hatcheries in their home villages (this would also depend on micro- credit support being available on their return). o Participants from the FFSs program with interest in developing farm scale hatcheries o Recent graduates with the potential to become part of the CFS team • As a client of CFS, APHEDA should request Snake Skin Gourami as part of the annual order. This would provide incentive to investigate the production of this native species. As other native species come into husbandry, these should also be ordered. • Support of the Wholesale/retail network between CFS and FFSs remains important to the development of local fish seed supply. The current arrangement should be evaluated Sept with a view to further refinement in ensuing seasons. Prepared by Lund & Associates page 24 of 43

  • 26. RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001 5.1 Aims • An Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Farmer Field School program was developed for the 2001 season. It was designed by Lim Sou, Senior Agronomist and negotiated with APHEDA following a pilot program including 2 field schools in 2000. This was presented in the form of an agreement and endorsed by KamDAFF. Program components on file.35 • The program included o 2 Farmer field Schools trained in IPM on rice crops36 o 3 Farmer Field Schools trained in IPM on vegetable crops37 • The team included38 o Lim Sou Senior Agronomist, Team Leader o Miss Chea Sinat Trainer o Meng Seng Rithy Trainer o Hearn Ngon Trainer o Mrs. Nut Narvy Trainer • Lim Sou was responsible for implementing the program39 . It was not necessary for APHEDA to provide line management support. In addition Lim Sou was required to provide monthly reports40 5.2 Implementation • The program proceeded with Lim Sou identifying target groups within the community and verifying their appropriateness with APHEDA. Overlap with the Aquaculture Extension Program was encouraged where practical, however this was not always possible as the selection criteria for the two programs differed. • Each school involved short theory sessions that where followed by the establishment of small-scale rice or vegetable crops (usually about 1 hectare) on land made available by one of the participants. • The farmers come together on a weekly basis to establish and monitor the crop’s progress, initiate trial plots, and decide on management options. • There are five main aspects to the field schools o Trialing of improved fertilizer application techniques whereby fertilizer is applied at select stages during crop growth rather than as one application at crop establishment. o Questioning the appropriateness/timeliness of pest management using ‘leaf or stem cutting’ experiments. The leaf area of sample plants is cut back and the effect of their yield is measured. This demonstrates how crops can absorb considerable damage from pest insects without significant impact on yields o Comparison of IPM options with conventional pesticide application. IPM options include hand picking, rouging, and some pesticide application where deemed appropriate (eg. pesticide remains a good option for aphids on legume crops). Conventional pesticide application was as per company recommendations Prepared by Lund & Associates page 26 of 43

RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001 o Learning about pest insects and beneficial insects and their ecology using practical techniques including regular field collections, population sampling and insect zoos. o Development of group problem solving / decision making skills. This is inherent in the manner in which the schools are conducted. IPM Farmer Field Schools . FFSs in 2000 2 Participants 60 FFSs in 2001 5 Participants 150 Total 7 Total 210 Distribution of IPM participants • The fertilizer trials consistently showed increases in yield although the cereal crop was typically more responsive than the legume crop.

Previous farmer field schools have achieved increases averaging 12.5% (wet rice field schools conducted in 2000) but the high yields seen this season (whilst apparently masking the differences in the treatments), translated into substantial increases in gross margins.

This was largely accredited to the reduction in pesticide usage. • The pesticide options were typically seen to be ineffective because of rapid re- infestation by pest insects between spray applications. This is a common phenomenon in small-scale intensive systems. The other advantages of reduced reliance on pesticides were also stressed during the schools. • The other advantages of reduced pesticide usage where also stressed during the course of the field schools including reduction in initial cash outlay, environment, health and safety. • The program has proven to be an excellent model for the future direction of co- operation between APHEDA and partners such as KamDAFF. o In this instance the operatives are working independently of line management support from APHEDA. o Project goals, objectives, target groups, resourcing are negotiated between KamDAFF and APHEDA. o APHEDA’s direct involvement was limited to formal presentations to participants to mark the end of each farmer field school and reporting. 5.3 Recommendations • Continue to support this program with a view to using experienced trainers to assist in new areas. • The program currently inputs quality vegetable or rice seed in order to run each field school and the participants divide the seed collected at harvest. This provides an excellent opportunity to introduce new and improved vegetable and rice varieties. This should become one of the objectives of each school. • The collective problem solving skills that develop over the course of each school are recognised as an important output. Farmer groups are able to apply this skill to other problems that confront their communities. FAO has recognised this and developed a ‘ life-skills’ training component that is run at the end of each farmer field school. A Prepared by Lund & Associates page 28 of 43

  • 31. RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001 6.1 Background • In order to introduce an Integrated Agriculture (Permaculture) component to the rural development program an assessment was made of potential partnership with KamDAFF and/or DWVA, WID Centres. It was decided that the preferred option would be to build the capacity of the WID Centres and staff with the aid of KamDAFF expertise. The WID Centres would then be able to provide training targeted at young women of the rural community. Justification. o The WID Centres are distributed across the current program catchment area and have staff on hand most of the time. They are also in regular communication with the Provincial Centre and have experience working with APHEDA o Each of the WID Centres includes a land area that could be used for demonstration of appropriate practices. This was regarded as particularly pertinent as the surrounding rural communities lacked suitable demonstration of appropriate practices o Plantings established at the centres could be used as a source of quality propagation material for future training and distribution within the community. Especially selected fruit trees o The WID staff work primarily with women, they being the primary target group for training as women and children are typically responsible for home gardens and orchards. o The WID Centres had shown a strong interest in Integrated Agriculture. Some had undertaken some activities including attempts at tree growing and fish rearing41 (fish seed supplied to Dang Tung through CFS in 2000). • CFS was also included in this program in recognition of it’s potential as a training centre in the future. 6.2 Implementation • Course participants where nominated by DWVA42 from each of the target WID centres. A brief TNA indicated that most WID staff had limited experience but that KamDAFF staff was well placed to provide training assistance. • The program included three (3) components. o Training WID Centre staff as trainers in home vegetable garden techniques, tree propagation techniques and in farm planning o A small tree nursery, orchard and home vegetable garden to be established at each of the centres o Initiate student training • The program was designed in conjunction with WID staff, APHEDA staff and after consultation with a range of similar programs operating in Cambodia. This was presented in the form of an agreement and endorsed by the Partner.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001 o Lim Sou Senior Agronomist, KamDAFF 6.2.1 Home vegetable gardens • The home vegetable garden training was based around a “sheet compost” system for the dry season that allows maximum use of the home garden when alternated with a conventional bare earth garden that are typically built in the wet season. The sheet compost system also provides best utilization of green waste/compost resources and is very water efficient. • The training was divided into three main components. Note that much of the theory is applicable to sheet compost and bear earth garden systems. o The first stage considered nutrient cycling and garden construction. At this stage the trainees constructed a garden at the Kampot Provincial Centre. o A week later the compost layer had begun to cool and planting commenced. The second stage focused on crop combinations and rotations. The group then planted the garden. o The final stage was conducted 1-month later and primarily involved use of natural pesticides. 44 • During the course of the training, gardens were established in each of the other centres. In each instance the centres experienced some difficulty that compromised the gardens and prevented any substantial harvest. o Construction of the gardens did not commence until February. Green waste was not readily available and had to be bought. Also the hot conditions where not conducive to early plant growth. Construction should commence in Nov/Dec o Vegetable seed sourced in Cambodia is typically of poor quality. Consequently Quality AA seed was used from Australia however this failed to perform adequately. Several months after the initial sowing a second batch of seed was brought from Thailand. This performed much better but was compromised by the lateness of planting. o The Kampot provincial Centre harbored an exceptionally large rat population. They repeatedly ate seed and seedlings despite control efforts. o There was difficulty in siting the garden at Chumkiri because the centre was still under construction and property boundaries where not well defined. • The problems encountered with the gardens provided opportunity for a collective review. In each instance the problems where seen as solvable and that the gardens would succeed in the following season. • At the end of the dry season conversion to bare earth gardens commenced Seed originating from Thailand was used. 6.2.2 Small nursery - Tree growing • The tree-growing component was designed to provide grounding in each of the main propagation techniques. The intent was to ensure that each centre was able to pass on some skills to the students and that they would also be able to produce some trees for their own purposes. • It included some basic theory on plant physiology, nutrient cycling and nursery management. However the bulk of the training was practically orientated and included: Prepared by Lund & Associates page 32 of 43

  • 35. RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001 Location of WID Centres + CFS 6.4 Recommendations • 35m of channel were refurbished at the Kampot Provincial Centre as a demonstration of the potential for fish rearing and mosquito control. There is an opportunity to refurbish a further 1,000m+ however it is difficult to justify because extension of the technique is limited to a relatively small part of the surrounding landscape. • The Kampot District WID Centre was a late inclusion in the program. As a consequence, any earthworks must be delayed until the ensuing dry season. • At the time of this report the tree-planting component was still in process. Some follow-up will be needed to ensure the trees are being appropriately managed. Once all trees are planted an inventory should be carried out at each site and a comprehensive photograph record made for future reference. • Where the WID Centres receive continuing support for tree growing, an annual production schedule should be prepared indicating tree types, numbers and intended application. • Where the WID Centres receive continuing support for vegetable growing an annual production schedule should be prepared indicating vegetable types, volumes and intended applications • A major concern regarding training in home gardens is the low rate of adoption. This problem is widely reported. As a means of overcoming this, many programs are turning to child nutrition as the main focus with home gardens being a part of the solution. It has proven particularly effective where young mother are the target group. The WID Centres could be assisted to adopt this strategy. Mao Phum (Dang Tung WID) has appropriate training and she may be able to assist in the development of this approach. • As each centre now has fishponds with potential as training facilities and/or fish seed production, WID staff should be included in Aquaculture training in ensuing seasons.

Program components on file.55 • The program included o 150 participants in IPM Farmer field Schools o 160 participants in Pond Rearing programs56 • The training was conducted by Sim Vanhieng57 Pre-training and post-training questionnaires indicating that the training increased awareness from 10% to 80%58 7.3 Recommendations • The program is proving both effective and low cost. The policy of including this HIV/AIDS component should be continued. • As a model, addition of short-course components such as HIV/AIDS Awareness (or the vegetable gardens and trees) into mainstream training programs, may have similar application in areas such as o Child nutrition o Small business management o Seed banks o Micro-credit o Life skills training Prepared by Lund & Associates page 37 of 43
  • 38. RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001 8 Community Forestry 8.1 Background • In the early 1990’s APHEDA supported KamDAFF in the establishment of several forestry plantations. The plantations were primarily Acacia and Eucalypt. • At two of the plantations have failed as a result of pilfering, encroachment and grass fires59 . The remaining plantations are nearing harvest. • KamDAFF now has an interest in generating revenue from these plantations but is also recognises the potential of developing community forestry as an option for local rural communities 8.2 Implementation • A scoping exercise was agreed in order to assess the potential for community forestry at the plantation that remains at Thmor Roung. • A terms of reference was drawn up and KamDAFF nominated a staff member to undertake the works: o Chouen Sara, Forestry Officer60 Prepared by Lund & Associates page 38 of 43
  • 39. RURAL DEVELOPMENT in KAMPOT PROVINCE, CAMBODIA REPORT on the PROGRAM OF WORKS 2000 - 2001 • Chouen Sara was responsible for undertaking the scoping exercise.61 Project co- ordination was maintained at meetings with APHEDA in Kampot and via progress reports62 . At the time of this report the first progress report had been received. 8.3 Recommendations • APHEDA’s support of forestry in Kampot should be reviewed pending the outcome of the scoping report and forest management options imposed by MAFF. • In the event that MAFF opts to harvest the Thmor Roung plantation in order to generate revenue, initial estimates indicate that revenue will be in the order of $USD200, 000. APHEDA should recommend that $50,000 be used to replant the plantation and to maintain a community forestry program.63 • There seems to be uncertainty about forestry management imperatives and Community Forestry objectives within KamDAFF. KamDAFF should be asked to clarify the position regarding current and future management of all existing plantations. • At present, KamDAFF provides no updated information regarding plantations although this information is gathered for the benefit of MAFF. Updated information should be requested including maps, inventories and preferred management options for each plantation. Prepared by Lund & Associates page 39 of 43
