    Why Land
    Many of the solutions to the world’s problems lie right before us, in how land is governed and managed. Sustainable and equitable land use elevates ecosystems and communities. It builds democracy, justice, sustainability and resilience.

NGO FORUM ON CAMBODIA

Member since: 2013

Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Recognize and protect the diverse tenure and production systems upon which people’s livelihoods depend, including the communal and customary tenure systems of smallholders, indigenous peoples, pastoralists, fisher folks, and holders of overlapping, shifting and periodic rights to land and other natural resources, even when these are not recognized by law, and whilst also acknowledging that the well-being of resource-users may be affected by changes beyond the boundaries of the land to which they have tenure rights.
3

Diverse Tenure Systems

Enable the role of local land users in territorial and ecosystem management, recognizing that sustainable development and the stewardship of ecosystems are best achieved through participatory decision-making and management at the territorial-level, empowering local land users and their communities with the authority, means and incentives to carry out this responsibility.
6

Locally-managed ecosystems

Ensure transparency and accountability, through unhindered and timely public access to all information that may contribute to informed public debate and decision-making on land issues at all stages, and through decentralization to the lowest effective level, to facilitate participation, accountability and the identification of locally appropriate solutions
8

Transparent and accessible information

Prevent and remedy land grabbing, respecting traditional land use rights and local livelihoods, and ensuring that all large-scale initiatives that involve the use of land, water and other natural resources comply with human rights and environmental obligations and are based on: the free, prior and informed consent of existing land users; a thorough assessment of economic, social, cultural and environmental impacts with respect to both women and men; democratic planning and independent oversight; and transparent contracts that respect labour rights, comply with social and fiscal obligations and are specific and binding on the sharing of responsibilities and benefits. Where adverse impacts on human rights and legitimate tenure rights have occurred, concerned actors should provide for, and cooperate in, impartial and competent mechanisms to provide remedy, including through land restitution and compensation.
9

Effective actions against land grabbing

Respect and protect the civil and political rights of human rights defenders working on land issues, combat the stigmatization and criminalisation of peaceful protest and land rights activism, and end impunity for human rights violations, including harassment, threats, violence and political imprisonment
10

Protected land rights defenders

Mission

A membership organization which works to respond to the evolving internal and external conditions framing the development of Cambodia, NGOF’s mission is to coordinate and resource members and networks of NGOs and CSOs in engaging in policy dialogue, debate and advocacy with and for poor and vulnerable people in Cambodia. Furthermore, the NGO Forum has an important role to play in highlighting the impact of development processes and economic, social and political changes in Cambodia. Finally, the mission of the forum is also to make sure that their voices are heard through the mechanisms of governments and NGOs. NGOF envisions that well-informed citizens and civil-society organizations in Cambodia can positively influence pro-poor, equitable and sustainable development, supported by a transparent and accountable government.

Objectives

NGOF's objective is to ensure that citizens and civil society organisations are well equipped to contribute to and influence policy making and implementation processes for the benefit of poor and vulnerable people of Cambodia. Furthermore, the NGOF's Land and Livelihood Programme's goal is for NGOs to cooperate in order to secure access to land and sustainable livelihoods, benefiting the poor and vulnerable.

Constituencies

NGOF’s constituencies are the poor and vulnerable in Cambodia.
