| Phnom Toich (Kampot) 3/03/2014: Registration of 'hard' land titles with land management employees at the pagoda. |
Some Things ARE Achieved…
Little by little, a vast majority of the ‘hard’ land titles are
being handed over to their owner, with land management clerks
painstakingly checking and sifting through huge piles of documents.
There are about 7 million land plots to be allocated to their rightfull
owner… Fortunately for them. They now have some sort of security. This
administrative effort unfortunately cannot hide the fact that evictions
and land grabbings do still take place.
This is a follow-up post on the ‘Quest for Land‘
story which is available as an iApp on iTunes and which reports on land
issues in Cambodia since the year 2000 with texts by Robert Carmichael
and over 700 photographs.

Correction: the number of land titles is between 10 and 12 million, not 7 million. About 3 million have been allocated so far...
