Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to assess the status of crop production and evaluate the costs, benefits, opportunities, and challenges along Tonle Sap Lake during the dry season. Methodology: Data were collected from 47 farmers, 10 vendors, and four local authorities through random interviews followed by questionnaires. The cost-benefit ratio, net present value (NPV), and sensitivity analyses were conducted, assuming a 9% cost overrun and a 5% yield decrease for analysis data. Main Findings: The study found, that farmers employ crop rotation and expertise from nearby farmers to grow beans, corn, sweet chilli, and melon from December to August. Floodplain crop production is moderately profitable, despite a 10% increase in total costs, with labor, irrigation, fertilizer, weeding, and pesticides being the high expenses. Challenges such as labor scarcity, financial literacy deficits, pest management issues, falling crop values, climate variability, and insufficient seed storage further complicate floodplain agriculture. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research explores floodplain farming's financial efficiency, and sustainability, utilizing cost-benefit analysis, sensitivity analysis, and qualitative evaluations to address Cambodia's unique agricultural challenges in the floodplain area.

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

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

Purpose of the study: This study documents Svay Rieng as Cambodia’s first Open Defecation Free province, offering a replicable model for others. It emphasizes effective coordination, implementation, and the Provincial Department of Rural Development’s technical role in advancing water, sanitation, and hygiene initiatives across Cambodia’s 25 provinces. Methodology: This study analyzes the multi-level coordination behind Svay Rieng’s Open Defecation Free achievement, focusing on collaboration among provincial departments, municipalities, communes, and local focal points. It documents planning, execution, and community engagement strategies, highlighting effective coordination mechanisms and implementation procedures that enabled the successful elimination of open defecation across the province. Main Findings: The study attributes Svay Rieng’s Open Defecation Free success to three key hygiene practices: toilet use, safe drinking water, and handwashing with soap. Strong coordination from provincial to village levels was vital. Local initiatives effectively aligned with national frameworks, including the National Strategic Plan (2014-2025), National Action Plan, and Provincial Action Plan II (2019-2023), ensuring cohesive planning and implementation. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study uniquely documents Cambodia’s first province-wide Open Defecation Free success, offering a pioneering, adaptable framework for rural sanitation. It highlights effective multi-stakeholder coordination and community engagement, aligning with national plans and local goals. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners in Cambodia and other developing countries pursuing sustainable sanitation solutions.
