3 I. Presentation of project to be evaluated and its context 1) Project background Country context Violations of land, housing and natural resources rights remain widespread in Cambodia. Eighty percent of Cambodia s population rely on the land and natural resources for their livelihood. During the Khmer Rouge regime, land ownership documents were destroyed. After the fall of the Khmer Rouge in 1979, land remained the property of the state until the Constitution of 1989, under which people were given possession rights for agricultural land. Even so, formal ownership documents were not issued, giving rise to widespread land and natural resources insecurity. The Land Law of 2001 contains provisions that, in theory, protect land dwellers rights. Article 5 holds that land deprivation can only take place following specific procedures and where adequate compensation is awarded to evictees. The law also provides that, even for occupants with no or insufficient title, evictions can only be made by court order upon the request of the person who claims the property, and that the court must verify and validate such a claim. These provisions have not been sufficiently implemented. Nor have the provisions regarding indigenous groups claims to collective land ownership rights, which are relatively difficult to achieve, especially for indigenous groups in remote areas who lack information and organization. By the end of 2012, the government had granted Economic Land Concessions (ELC) to private companies, amounting to more than 2,500,000 hectares, leading to widespread forced evictions. Civil society organizations including ADHOC have repeatedly denounced the devastating social and environmental impacts of economic land concessions (ELCs) and advocated for the land to be returned to the affected communities. Recognizing the scale of opposition to ELCs, a moratorium was issued by the government in May Although this has reduced the number of ELCs being granted, it has not been without problems. The moratorium does not include concessions already under discussion before it was signed, and the lack of transparency around the concession process means this has been a useful loophole to circumvent the moratorium. However, in 2013 only few new concessions have been granted, and land-redistribution to rural poor through the Prime Minister s land-titling campaign implemented by youth volunteers and the granting of social land concessions has been set as a priority on the government s political agenda. Nevertheless, abuses, irregularities and a widespread lack of transparency have been reported both with regard to the land-titling scheme and the granting of SLCs. The consistent increase of number of SLCs granted in 2013 (five times the number of SLCs granted in 2012) raises concerns as in many instances local residents have been evicted to make way to social land concessions. 2) Presentation of the stakeholders Catholic Committee Against Hunger and For Development (CCFD-Terre Solidaire ): CCFD-Terre Solidaire, the French Catholic Committee Against Hunger and For Development, was created in 1961 and is an officially registered non-profit organization. It has set itself two missions: supporting local partner organizations in countries of the South and Eastern Europe in their development actions, as well as heightening the awareness of public opinion regarding the situation of developing countries. CCFD-Terre Solidaire currently provides support for more than 400 partners in 80 countries. CCFD-TERRE SOLIDAIRE is partnering with ADHOC in Cambodia since In 2011, CCFD-TERRE SOLIDAIRE decided in common agreement with ADHOC to focus its support on ADHOC Land program (while continuing to support other activities of ADHOC such as human rights victims legal aid and prevention of gender-based violence). In 2012, CCFD-TERRE SOLIDAIRE and ADHOC have applied to an EU funding allowing them to developing new actions through a common project entitled Working together to provide access to justice for the poor and vulnerable in Cambodia, with a particular focus on land and women s rights. This project will run from 2013 to 2015 and allow ADHOC to benefit from extended resources to Page 3 / 15

4 implement its activities and developing new ones such as joint investigations and capacity building of cadastral commissions, extended legal assistance to land grabbing victims and advocacy work on the Land issues. ADHOC- Cambodian Human Rights and Development Association The Cambodian Human Rights and Development Association (ADHOC) is an independent, nonpartisan, non-profit and non-governmental organization. It is Cambodia s oldest human rights NGO. It was founded by a group of former political prisoners in December 1991, shortly after the signing of the Paris Peace Agreements, which put an end to the Cambodian civil war. It began operating immediately, thanks to donations, and soon secured funding from European donors. ADHOC envisions a society that respects human rights and law. ADHOC s mission is to strengthen the capacity of ordinary citizens, to empower them to defend and realize their rights, and to lobby and advocate for better governance and respect for human rights and the rule of law. ADHOC s goal is to bring about changes in policies and practices of democratic institutions, in particular the judicial system, and to strengthen civil society. ADHOC focuses its strategy on structural, long-lasting change. One of its key aims is to bring about a decrease in impunity and abuses of power. ADHOC s field presence is unique amongst Cambodian NGOs, with offices in 23 provinces/municipalities (out of 24) covering all of the country s districts. More than twenty years after its foundation, ADHOC continues to be run by and for Cambodians. It has adjusted its programs to changing contexts while maintaining a strictly non-partisan stance. ADHOC s work is divided into three programs: the Human Rights and Legal Aid Program, the Land and Natural Resources Rights Program, and the Women s and Children s Rights Program. ADHOC also implements a Khmer Rouge Tribunal (KRT) Project. A fourth program was created to implement new mediation (Alternative Dispute Resolution, or ADR) activities. The Human Rights and Legal Aid Program investigates and deals with complaints from victims and relatives of victims of human rights abuses, such as extrajudicial killings, illegal arrest and detention, torture, physical assault, or crack downs on peaceful protests. The rights violations either result from direct actions by state bodies and officials or from inaction (i.e., inability or unwillingness to take positive steps to uphold rights). The program also provides support to human rights defenders, community representatives and activists who are wrongfully arrested and charged as retribution for their peaceful activities. The Women s and Children s Rights Section investigates cases, supports victims, empowers women, educates people and local authorities on women s rights, and works with relevant authorities for the promotion and protection of women s rights. It contributes to long-term social/behavioral change and fights discrimination and the culture of impunity by encouraging people to report gender-based violence and abuses. The Land and Natural Resources Rights Program investigates cases and empowers victims and potential victims of land grabbing and encroachment on land and natural resources, so they can assert and defend their rights. Support to victims has a lasting effect on their mindset, increasing their willingness to protect their own rights and to report abuses, challenging power imbalances. The program also organizes advocacy workshops with both communities and the authorities at the local level. All programs implement ADHOC s three main types of activities: (a) Investigation and intervention (in the form of legal aid and material/social/legal/medical assistance); (b) Empowerment activities (capacity-building trainings, meetings, network-building); and (c) Advocacy work. In addition, the ADR Program implements mediation activities. ADHOC is the operator in the field and responsible for implementation of the activities and management of the project, via its employees and the resource-persons (experts, trainers, etc.) whom it might call on.
