PROJECT PROPOSAL
This project is to support the Ratanakiri Community Natural Resource Management Advocacy Network to provide training back to their respective communities. Such training will utilize skills already developed during 2002. These include:
-
Land and forest rights under Cambodia law,
-
The importance of community to NRM and NRM to community.
-
Possibility and problems with tourism (some communities)
-
Forest Concession and people's rights.
-
Active Non-violence
In addition to this, key ideas will be transmitted to policy makers in Phnom Penh. In 2003 this will be particularly relevant to the finalisation of the Community Forestry Sub-decree and the implementation of the Forest Concession Management Sub-decree.
The project is also part of a larger project, with the other components:
The approved activity will have the following outputs:
-
Twenty Natural resource management communities (mostly communes generally consisting of 5 villages) in Ratanakiri will have information to understand their rights for forest management under Cambodian Law.
-
Solidarity and unity between these 20 communities with regard to
NRM.
-
10 Communes affected by Forest Concession will have essential knowledge about their rights in relation to community forests within forest concessions
-
Those 10 communes are better able to exert those rights through the use of Active Non-violence.
-
10 Communes currently being affected by tourism will have a basic understanding of the potential and problems of tourism in their communities.
