PROJECT PROPOSAL
This project aims to support the process of developing community-based natural resource management in seven villages in the communes of Kauh Chiveang and Prey Cheas, Ek Phnom District, Battambang Province. Through a recently established Community Fisheries Committee, these villages are now getting involved in the management of Fishing Lot #3 after it was opened for public access. Supporting sustainable management practices for Fishing Lot #3 is part of the broader goal of conserving the natural environment in and around the Tonle Sap Lake.
As part of developing capacity of the nascent Community Fisheries Committees ( CFCs ) in participatory natural resource management, the specific objectives of this project are:
-
To find out on-going environmental phenomena in the 2 communes
-
To establish community management activities using participatory methods
-
To recommend further actions and relevant policies to Cambodian communities and authorities for sustainable
management of the natural environment
-
To promote further actions to collaborate with other donors and local authorities.
PROJECT OUTPUTS
-
A key person in each commune will be selected to assist in doing research on area.
-
Information gathering (esp. fisheries )
-
A process for collaboration between CFC and local authorities will be developed to regulate illegal activities (fishing, logging, wild animal hunting) that contribute to destruction of the natural environment.
-
An exchange visit by community fisheries leaders and staff to fisheries communities in Kompong Chhnang and other areas will be organized in cooperation with JVC Phnom Penh.
-
Community fisheries leaders and staff will be sent to stakeholder workshops on fisheries management and natural environment conservation held by other NGOs, IOs and relevant authorities.
-
In cooperation with FACT and ADHOC, environment and human rights education will be done through leaflets and posters to be used in village workshops and schools.
-
Meetings and workshops will be facilitated at the village, commune, district, and provincial levels for various stakeholders to discuss environmental concerns in the area and set up a management and action planning process. Among the topics to be discussed will be:
-
identification of current situation and issues that need to be resolved by various stakeholders
-
agreeable fishing gear within and outside of the Community Fisheries and their coordination modalities
-
preparation of management and action plans at the fisheries committees
