Agro-ecological zones and main farming systems in the project area

The target districts of the project encompass the whole range of agro-ecological zones present in inland Cambodia. This extends from heavily flooded areas near Tonle Sap Lake (South of Soutr Nikom and Chi Kreaeng in Siem Reap, East of Moung Ruessei in Battambang) where floating, deep water and recession rice is grown, and fishing a main activity for farmers, to forested upland zones in the periphery of the project area (e.g. Rotonak Mondol and Sampov Lun in Battambang) where farmers mainly live from non-rice crops (maize, cassava), cattle grazing and agro-forestry activities.click here to download the entire document

Irrigation intervention for Rice Growing Community

In Cambodia, the long period of destructive conflict and instability is probably the main root contributor to the widespread poverty that currently exists. Indeed, those who were displaced, maimed, orphaned, or widowed by the conflict face the greatest hardships. Damage to infrastructure (particularly irrigation systems), land mines, and other security threats contributed to low agricultural production.click here to download the entire document

Technical Reports

Progress Report 6th

The 5th Progress Report from January to June 2008 outlines the overall project status, describes the implemented activities by Eptf and contractors’ partners, shows the achievements made and lessons learnt. The format of the report adapts to the “Practical Guide to Procedures for Programme Estimates” of the EC. This reporting period was largely focused on several start-up activities done by all contractors after the deadline of 16th November 2007 for signing of contracts. The project has organized the introduction tour for awarded contractors to visit target communes in 3 target provinces and continued to move towards applying the conceptualization of the Integrated Rural Development Modules (IRDM); with a special workshop on ALF and IRDM planned for July 2008. Besides, several workshops on strengthening of cooperation and participation by local authority in ECOSORN project have been conducted by Eptf at each province.click here to download the entire document
