Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research study aims to explore the specific roles women play in this field, the disparities they face compared to men, and their coping mechanisms. Methodology: A mixed-methods approach was used for this research, combining quantitative data from household surveys and desk reviews with qualitative data from key informant interviews. The study reviewed relevant research papers, articles, and reports, including project progress reports, published journals, guidelines and policies related to waste collection, and research reports from other researchers and policymakers. Main Findings: The research findings revealed that women's family status significantly impacts their economic decisions, often leading them to work for pay to support their families. Household surveys showed that women comprised 64% of respondents, and 54% had no schooling. Additionally, 37% of respondents were aware of women's roles in providing for their families, while key informant interviews with community organizations confirmed this understanding. While the study found that 60% of respondents believed that increased women's rights would not compromise men's rights, 40% disagreed. Some respondents expressed concerns about men losing their privileges if women gained more rights. However, the study concluded that women's contributions to household income should be valued more, and that collaborative efforts are needed to achieve gender empowerment and economic management. Novelty/Originality of this study: Through this research, the master plans for solid waste management will be developed and the partnership with private sector will be strengthened to improve waste management practices and increase income for waste collectors.

Abstract

Smallholder farmers in Svay Rieng Province, Cambodia, play a crucial role in the country's agricultural sector, particularly in mushroom cultivation. Despite facing numerous challenges such as limited access to resources, climate change, and market uncertainties, these farmers contribute significantly to the national food security. This study aims to explore the technical knowledge, technical adaptation and practices of mushroom growing, and to analyze the economic efficiency of mushroom growing of smallholder farmers in Svay Rieng and Svay Chrum districts, Svay Rieng province, Cambodia. Eight farmers in three target villages were selected for household surveys (four farmers were the target and others four are non-target). Two types of mushroom were selected to grow by farmers, which are Straw and Oyster Mushroom. Fifty percent of farmers (both target and non-target) experienced in mushroom growing for more than five years and all of target farmers received technical training on mushroom growing from HEQCIP Project while only half of the non-target farmers used to get training from Government project (Provincial Department of Agriculture). At the same time, only one half of interviewed farmers share their technical knowledge and experiences on mushroom growing with their relatives, neighbors, and other farmers in their communities. All farmers apply mushroom growing techniques provided by the project together with their experiences and local knowledge. Even farmers in the targeted communities used natural fertilizers in mushroom growing, but 50% of them still used chemical fertilizers. It is interesting that all farmers sprayed jungle white before start growing, except 25% of the straw mushroom targeted farmers do not do that. The average profits for a targeted farmer gained from mushroom growing per production cycle is 600,250 Riels which is equal to 180% compared with expenses; or 60% compare with the total incomes while the non-targeted farmers profit is about 110% (504,250 Riels) compared with the expense; or 50% compared with the incomes. Even though the profit percentage from mushroom growing is higher than vegetable cultivation, but only 25% of the target and 50% of the non-target farmers who indicated their livelihood have improved a lot while the rest mentioned little improvement. This is because 50% of targeted and 75% of non-targeted farmers used incomes from mushroom production to repay their loan.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: The study aims to 1) assess the use of farming inputs and rice productivity in Battambang and Svay Rieng provinces, Cambodia; 2) identify the factors influencing rice productivity; and 3) predict rice productivity based on farming inputs. It seeks to provide insights into optimizing rice production and improving farmers' livelihoods. Methodology: A survey was conducted across 7 villages, 2 communes, and 2 districts in Battambang and Svay Rieng provinces, with 148 samples collected. Data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods, including frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation, chi-square tests, one-sample t-tests, and p-value probability. Main Findings: The study revealed that the average number of family members involved in farming was 2 (70%), and land sizes ranged from 2-4 hectares (40%). DAP was the most commonly used chemical fertilizer (66%). Land size significantly affected rice productivity (93%), followed by seed quality (86% yield increase) and pesticide use (91% yield increase). Chemical fertilizers had a near-total impact on productivity. The study recommends reducing chemical fertilizers in favor of organic alternatives for safer and higher-quality rice production. Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study provides a detailed analysis of farming inputs and their impact on rice productivity in Cambodia, emphasizing the role of land size, seed quality, and chemical inputs. It highlights the need for sustainable practices, such as organic fertilizers, and calls for stronger government and NGO support in agricultural policy and technical assistance. Future research could explore the impact of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) on rice yield and quality.

Abstract

This study examines students’ readiness to adopt paperless learning within the Circular Economy framework in senior high schools in Svay Rieng Province, Cambodia. It analyzes the influence of environmental awareness, digital literacy, and habitual behavior on preparedness for transitioning from paper-based to digital learning. A quantitative descriptive approach was applied, using survey data from 148 students. Instrument validity and reliability were confirmed, and multiple regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationships among variables. The results indicate that all three factors significantly influence readiness, with digital literacy as the strongest predictor, followed by habits and environmental awareness. Together, these variables explain 51.3% of the variance in student preparedness. The findings extend existing technology adoption models, including the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), by integrating environmental and behavioral dimensions. Practically, the study emphasizes the need to strengthen digital literacy through training and curriculum integration, supported by programs that foster environmental responsibility and sustainable learning habits. These insights provide a policy framework for schools and policymakers in developing contexts to implement paperless education effectively and inclusively.

Abstract

This study looks into the variables affecting public service performance (PSP) in Kampong Trabaek District Administration, Prey Veng Province, Cambodia. Although district-level public service delivery is essential to good governance, it continues to face obstacles like inefficiency, corruption, and a lack of funding. Work quality (WQ), work quantity (WT), timeliness (TI), effectiveness (EF), and independence (ID) are the five main dimensions that are examined in this study along with how they interact with PSP. This study aims to explore the current status of PSP in Kampong Trabaek District Administration and to investigate the relationship between WQ, WT, TI, EF, and ID in shaping PSP within Kampong Trabaek District Administration, Prey Veng Province, Cambodia. To systematically investigate these relationships, data were gathered from 91 district administration stakeholders and employees using a quantitative research design with descriptive and correlational analysis. The questionnaire in the form of Likert scale was the instrument used in this study. The results provide subtle insights into the roles that each dimension plays in PSP. Timeliness and independence showed a strong positive relationship with work quality, underscoring the value of high standards in encouraging responsiveness and accountability. Effectiveness and work quantity were found to be significantly correlated, highlighting the need for a balance between productivity and reaching desired results. Timeliness was found to be a crucial component that was closely related to every other aspect, highlighting its function in boosting public trust in government. Effectiveness was essential to guaranteeing fair service distribution and flexibility in times of emergency, while independence allowed local leaders to develop context-sensitive solutions but also revealed weaknesses in supervision and resource distribution. To sum up, this study emphasizes how crucial it is to take a comprehensive approach to PSP, balance operational aspects, and promote collaborative governance models in order to attain long-lasting enhancements in Kampong Trabaek District Administration's public service delivery.

Abstract

One Window Service Office (OWSO) plays a crucial role in delivering essential public services to local residents. The OWSO, which located in all districts and municipal within the provinces, aims to facilitate efficient service provision by eliminating redundant procedures and ensuring that citizens receive timely assistance. The office integrates a wide range of administrative tasks, including business registration, land management, tax collection, and civil documentation, under a unified system designed to minimize bureaucratic hurdles. This review aims to explore the extent to which the OWSO in Cambodia has contributed to improved governance and enhanced citizen engagement. This study adopts a qualitative case study approach to examine the effectiveness of public service delivery at OWSO in districts and municipal of Cambodia. By focusing on the OWSO, the study provides a detailed understanding of institutional practices, challenges, and outcomes related to public service delivery. A comprehensive review of secondary data was conducted to gather information on the establishment, objectives, and implementation of the Bavet OWSO. As results, this review indicate that while the OWSO has successfully simplified administrative procedures and improved service accessibility, its effectiveness is hindered by inadequate staffing, limited technological integration, and inconsistent enforcement of standardized procedures. Comparative analyses with similar initiatives in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam reveal that more digitally advanced and institutionally supported OWSO models achieve higher levels of efficiency and user satisfaction. These comparisons underscore the importance of investing in digital infrastructure, strengthening institutional capacity, and implementing robust anti-corruption measures to maximize the benefits of one-stop service centers. Additionally, the review highlights the need for enhanced citizen engagement and service awareness to ensure that residents fully utilize the available services and contribute to continuous improvements in service delivery.

Abstract

Decentralization has emerged as a key governance reform strategy aimed at improving administrative efficiency, enhancing citizen participation, and promoting equitable development. In Cambodia, decentralization reforms initiated in the early 2000s sought to transfer authority, financial resources, and decision-making powers from the central government to subnational levels, including provinces, municipalities, districts, and communes. This literature-based study evaluates the effectiveness of decentralized administration management in Cambodia, focusing on institutional capacity, service delivery performance, and governance outcomes. Drawing on case studies, comparative analyses with Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, and established theoretical frameworks such as New Public Management (NPM) and SERVQUAL, the review identifies both achievements and persistent challenges. Findings indicate that while decentralized administration in Cambodia has contributed to improved local governance and greater responsiveness to community needs, its effectiveness remains constrained by limited institutional capacity, infrastructural deficiencies, and the persistence of informal practices and corruption. The Kampong Speu Province case study illustrates how local governments have made progress in service accessibility and citizen engagement but continue to struggle with inefficiencies, uneven service quality, and weak accountability mechanisms. Comparative insights suggest that successful decentralization depends on robust institutional support, technological integration, and strong anti-corruption frameworks. This review concludes with policy recommendations aimed at strengthening human resource capacity, investing in digital infrastructure, enforcing transparency and accountability, and enhancing citizen participation in local governance. By addressing these areas, the Cambodian government can improve the functionality of decentralized administration and ensure more effective and inclusive public service delivery.
