Cambodia - Forest Concession Management and Control Pilot Project : third progress report to the Board of Executive Directors on implementation of management's action plan in response to the inspection panel investigation report
Yoon-Je Cho | Khatkhate, Deena
On March 30, 2006, the inspection panel submitted its investigation on the Cambodia: Forest Concession Management and Control Pilot Project (FCMCPP) to the Board. On May 16, 2006, Management submitted its report and recommendations in response to the inspection panel's Investigation report. Since the project closed before the inspection panel report was completed, no project-specific actions were possible. Management's action plan therefore acknowledged the inherent and continuing challenges to increasing public participation in the forest sector in Cambodia, and laid out a strategic and forward-looking agenda to support the development of a more equitable and socially-inclusive approach to natural resources management. The Management action plan included specific actions to be taken at two levels: (a) across the Bank to mainstream improvements in environmental screening and classification and to expand the use of strategic environmental assessment with targeted training to familiarize Bank staff with these tools; and (b) by the within the region (EAP) to complete: (1) community consultation guidelines; and (2) the legal and regulatory framework for indigenous peoples' land rights in Cambodia. Recognizing that a sustained effort will be required, the management action plan also included a section outlining a phased approach to building a broad consensus with Government and other development partners on the way forward in the forestry sector. The present report follows the structure of the original action plan, detailing recent progress and challenges in the text and summarizing progress since June 2006 in table form.
