Development Trends in Cambodia
Maps presented here highlight the extent to which the government is signing off concessions for development which is monopolizing land, forest and other natural resources to private companies both Cambodian and international. Land conflict is a major issue which raises questions not only about poverty reduction and human rights but sustainable development in general.
The development trends presented on these maps signifies a new approach to viewing the information on land allocation for concessions and other development initiatives. It is hoped that by taking a holistic approach to viewing development trends across sectors national and international organizations, the RGC and their relevant departments along with development Donor groups can begin to analyse and potentially rethink development from a new paradigm perspective. Hopefully influencing more environmentally sustainable development models which are socially equitable and just.

Information presented here is an understatement of the many other land deals which are currently active on the ground and difficult to monitor. Thus when reviewing the information it is important to note that data gathered for these maps is from open public sources of information from Government bodies, company websites, press releases and organizations working on specific sectorial issues. The actual status of many of these projects is scattered and mostly yet to be confirmed by the RGC.
