Different approaches to development interventions in Cambodia have been tested to examine if they offers greater chance of ownership, benefits, and sustainability. Often, there have been hardly any claims when these factors are brought in. In one instance, community people are invited to advocate for their rights and access to land and forest resources invaded by powerful individuals or companies. Community people’s motivation appears to be in despair when the achievements tend to be out of their reach. On the other hand, there are approaches focusing on the ground such as the community forestry program seeking to improve livelihoods in addition to environmental conservation; however, they remain far away from their dream because of the dependency on external support. This paper argues that there is an alternative to build a strong individual or household economic base before they start engaging in bigger issues. This lends itself to the concept of community-corporate partnership (CCP), which taps into available resources such as land from community people while capital and technical inputs from outside for collective production that is based on mutually agreed principle of shared benefits and losses. Cases of coffee and pepper production are being experimented over the past year with indigenous people in upland Mondulkiri Province. Over the period, there have been manifestations of shared understanding, trust, control of processes and challenges, which indicate a promising path to long term benefits. This has long term potential for strengthening community solidarity for defending their rights to land and natural resources they presently depend upon for their living

5. Rationale & Philosophy
Our WorldToday:
 At organizational level: Ending, shortage, no fund to support, staff turnover, competing for scarce funding
resources, etc.
 At societal level: Selling land is common: No production, poor housing, poor health & not afford for insurances,
drinking, drugs use, advocacy for change but has yet reached the last step before getting exhausted of
resources, time, and effort. High dependency of both NGOs and grass-root communities.
 Our project in Mondulkiri – ending?
 Our project in Ratanakiri – ending?
 Our program inTonle Sap – ending?
 Programs of other NGO – ending?
As it is so, what is our dream for development?
 ADIC: PAR reflection
 ADIC: Going by Flow of Community Life (GFCL),
 What Public Private Partnership (PPP)?
 What is Corporate Social Responsibility?
 Life Lesson from a Palm Sugar Trader !

6. Sugar PalmTrader
 No fund but have everlasting relationship with
clients
 Constant trading and bring more opportunities
 No concerns of their distance
 Having consent is their principle of exchange
 Know better their clients’ need
 Help clients and can make referrals to social
services or activities
 Important role of protecting our national identity –
the palm trees
 Promote our cultural heritage – palm sugar making
 Maintain organic production
 Improve local employment opportunities, etc.

7. Where do we go?
 Exit strategy!
 Sufficient support!
 It is not my role!
 Continue to be dependent!
 Defending against development!
 Bye bye !!!
 No idea, hesitation!
 YES/NO?

– good to include community people to have benefits, Improve WATSAN by
subsidizing them, tourism for help – (Bang Pov in Paris on medical services),
Star Kampuchea (existing interns), dental services (Dina), education (Soeun),
some fund from our crops can subsidize their basic needs. They can become
key clients for our initiative in the future.
D. Statue of Bunong Hero Building a statue of a hero with inscription could be an important legacy for
people in this area, and tourists may be very interested to visit, Room
