JMI: Implement the legal framework established by the Land Law
Actions
-
To adopt RGC's Policy
on Registration and Use Rights of Indigenous Communal Land and
pilot interim protective measures (identification, mapping,
classification and provisional endorsement of indigenous land
legal claims) to safeguard the indigenous community's land in two
provinces within the framework of provincial level state land
management committees and district working groups as per
Sub-Decree #118).

December 2008

+
Draft
Policy on Registration and Use Rights of Indigenous Communal Land
was submitted to the Council of Ministers (COM) in May 2007. The
draft policy was discussed three times with OBSES of the COM in
August 2007. The content was approved with only minor editorial
changes. It is expected that the draft policy, together with the
draft Sub-decree, will be discussed at an inter-ministerial meeting
before its submission to a full COM Ministers meeting.
+ Sub-decree
on the registration of land of Indigenous People community has been
drafted. This draft has been discussed within GS-CLP and it is
currently under MLMUPC's review. The draft Sub-decree will be
circulated to relevant stakeholders for e-consultation in early
March 2008. It is then expected to be reviewed by CLP members for
comments before its submission to the Chairman of CLP/Senior
Minister and its members for endorsement.
+
Missions:
GS-CLP, MLMUPC (Legal Unit, Dept. of Legislative and Cadastral
Officials) and members of TWGL from inter-ministries visited
Rattanakiri in December 2007 and Mondulkiri in January 2008 in order
to learn from the experiences of pilot projects in three villages
for their integration into the draft Sub-decree and for preliminary
demarcation of the Indigenous community's land.
+ As
for the pilot interim protective measure, the COM issued a
Notification dated 14 February 2008 allowing the piloting of
registration to move forward in three villages.
+ The
two Provincial Departments (Rattanakiri and Mondulkiri) are
preparing work plans for the registration of these three piloting
communities. |

To improve the
livelihoods of the rural poor, i.e. 500 eligible households are
settled on social land concessions with livelihood support and at
least 10,000 hectares of suitable land confirmed as available for
social land concessions.
|
December 2008 |
+ The
sites for Social Land Concession (SLC) pilot projects in Sambok and
Changkrang communes in Kratie District, Kratie Province comprising
3,294.36 hectares; and in Choam Kravien Commune in Memot district,
Kampong Cham Province comprising 612.21 hectares had been registered
as state private land for SLC. The land use planning process in
Kratie has resulted in a proposal for 600 households and the process
of selecting beneficiaries is ongoing.
+ According
to a December 2006 Aide Memoire between the World Bank and the
Government in, the World Bank is expected to finance LASED’s
implementation for five years from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2013.
The project is intended to be implemented in three provinces,
Kampong Cham, Kratie, and Kampong Thom. Within these three
provinces, 20 communes (17 in addition to the current three pilot
communes) in up to nine districts will be supported for the
preparation and implementation of social land concession
subprojects.
+ The
Government has confirmed five additional communes in January 2008 to
be registered as private state lands for the implementation SLC. In
addition, the Government will confirm all twenty viable communes for
the LASED project by mid-2008.
+ Further
location identification for SLC in commune level shall be integrated
in Commune Development Plan. |
+
The
implementation of field work in SLC site in Memot district, Kampong
Cham province has been slow due to CMAC's demining activities in the
areas.
+ For
the effective, efficient and transparent result, participation is
needed. This has led to time consuming for the preparation and
implementation of the project.
