Phnom Kulen since 2008. One of the objectives is lo understand the extent of this first capital as
well as to define the various settlements during the period of time, from pre angkorian period lo the
post angkorian period. Working in close collaboration with the APSARA National Authority (National
Authority in charge of Angkor region), the Ministry of Environment and other institutional partners,
ADF is the main institution working on both development and archaeology in Phnom Kulen.
ADF is also disseminating the archaeological knowledge of the findings. Reports and conferences
are regularly given and specific publications on archaeological research are also published in

Historically, geographically and from a hydrologic point of view, Phnom Kulen is very closely linked
with Angkor Wodd heritage sile. The Royal Government of Cambodia has registered Phnom Kulen
on the indicative list of the world heritage sile, and ADF is working closely with UNESCO and
APSARA to move toward the recognition of this sile and to Meet the standards of a wodd heritage
site.

TRUSTEE'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Conservation and protection of the sites
In the post war years 11990'sl Cambodia suffered from endless looting. 11 is well known that
archaeological site protection goes hand in hand with an increased local awareness that arises as
a result of research and conservation programmes.
The Phnom Kulen programme is providing APSARA Authority a better knowledge of the
archaeological value of the plateau, in order lo extend ils activities on the Phnom Kulen. ADF is
also helping the Ministry of Environment by providing information relative lo protected area, forest
cover, and illegal activities lencroaching, illegal logging elcl.
The programme is also helping lo define demining aoas and specific archaeological protected
areas. The regular cleaning of vegetation and the maintenance of the monuments can then occur.
Cuffitors and guardslworkers have been appointed by APSARA in order lo follow up this initiative.
The Archaeology and Development Foundation is providing APSARA advice and expertise to
improve the management of the sites in terms of conservation and tourism management. ADF has
regLJlady asked APSARA to increase the human and technical resources, to fulfil these missions.
For the last years, the Archaeology and Development Foundation is also sponsoring the activities
from the APSARA Stone Conservation Unit Ilransports, salaries, malerialsl lo restore the sandstone
artefacls and bas reliefs discovered during the excavations.
Training of Khmer specialists
One of the long term outcomes of this project is the training of Cambodian specialists, in providing
them with knowledge, expertise and know how to preserve these siles.
This project provides an opportunity to train the young Khmer specialists on specific search
processes. All stages of the archaeological research pro￿sS, beginning al the preparation phases
then field work phases Iprospecling to diagnostic trenches or open area excavations, conservation
of monuments, invenloriesl all the way through to annual and final report and publication, is done
working closely with ADF and APSARA archaeologists. The project also provides young students
graduated from the Royal University of Fine Arts, faculty of archaeology, with their first fieldwork
experience.
ADF also provide regular trading to the Provincial Department of Environment of Siem Reap staff
and the rangers in charge of the Phnom Kulen National Park.
Economic and social impact on local populations
Cambodia has been devastated by civil wars which were fought from 1970 through lo the 1990's',
this period saw one of the largest genocides in the world which killed between 1.710 2 million people.
Fighting, aerial bombardments and minefields had a significant impact on the lives of three
generations.
Phnom Kulen region was the scene of violent fighting be￿een Khmer Rouge and government
troops,. the consequences are still evident today. It was one of the last Khmer Rouge strongholds
lo surrender in 1996.
This project is providing jobs to seasonal workers and, consecutively, full time activity to guards and
specialised workers. In providing the villagers with heritage and conservation knowledge it is helping
lo preventfurther looting and is creating a safe archaeological zone by initiating a land mine removal
programme and archaeological protected areas.

TRUSTEE'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
An important effort is also done towards the villagers from the Phnom Kulen region for food
securilylnutrilional health, medical and health support, hygiene and sanitation (particularly in
primary schools), alternative livelihood generating incomes, as well as environmental education and
protection.
These initiatives have an important impact on the social and economic development of Phnom
Kulen and especially improve the level of education and health care of the inhabitants.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income for the year ended 31 December 2021 was $144,195 with expenditure tolalling $171,542.
At the year end, the charity was holding restricted reserves of $70,574 and the unreslricled reserves
were in a deficit position of £28,813.
As the Charitable company has minimal fixed costs ils policy is lo hold approximately $5,000 in
reserves in order lo use as much of the funds received each year for charitable purposes. The
Trustee will continue lo work lo bring reserves lo this the target level.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
For the archaeological activities Imainlenance and conservation program), there is no plan to
coordinate demining operations in 2022 by CMAC teams. However, and if the budget and work plan
allow it, ADF will decide if excavations are possible in 2021. If possible, il would most probably take
place on a site already secured over the previous years.
ADF will continue lo maintain a regular coordination with APSARA National Authority and provide
assistance and adVI￿S for a beller heritage management of the archaeological sites in Phnom
Kulen. This involves advices for the general maintenance of the sites and the control of the
Archaeological Protected Areas. ADF will continue lo encourage APSARA to increase the material
resources for these tasks. ADF will provide any recent and old documentation on archaeological
sites to be restored by APSARA in 2022.
For the Kbal Spean and 1000 linga sites, the ADF team will intend lo finalize the signboards and
with their text and submit them to APSARA, so information panels can be edited and sel up by ADF
& APSARA, providing APSARA a beller tool lo manage this area and a beller knowledge of the site
for the public. The maps and their study will also be published in a specialised review in 2022 or
2023.
In the restoration field, only small sandstone fragments from previous archaeological campaigns
will require complementary restoration in 2019. As our requests from 2018 10 2019 were left
unanswered, ADF will have to ask again if this small operation can be done.
ADF will continue to encourage the Cambodian authorities IAPSARA National Authority, Ministry of
Environment, Provincial Aulhoritiesl to officially re¢ognise the Archaeological Protected Areas and
lo allocate more resources for their effective protection.
The archaeological research, diffusion, communication and training will continue. ADF team will
also participate in two publications in the volume dedicated to the Angkorian Wodd, published by
Routledge. ADF will also intend lo finalise the publication about the 1000 ling8 and Kb81 Spean sites
with the most recent maps of these two siles, on Prasat Rong Chen mountain-temple and on the
earth mounds fields, discoveod thanks lo the Lidar and excavated by ADF and APSARA in 2013.
Further studies and analysis from previous excavations archaeological samples and artefacls could
also be undertaken such as ceramic or roof tiles studies, charcoal analysis for radiocarbon dating
and tree identification, or phylolylh analysis.

documentation and submit reports on artefacls that appeared lo be left on site before the
Cambodian civil war and reappeared in private or public collections later on. 11 will allow the
Cambodian government lo claim the repalrialion of these artefacts, strengthening the dynamic
started a few years ago. ADF aims to write one report per artef8cI coming from Phnom Kulen and
reappearing in these collections.

2. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
ARCHAEOLOGY: FIELD OPERATIONS
The 2021 archaeological activities are a continuity of the programme launched in 2008 in
collaboration with the APSARA National Authority. The 2020 activities can be summarized as below.
MAINTENANCE AND CONSERVATION PROGRAM:
Land Mine & UXO removal
There was no demining campaign in 2021, as no archaeological operation was planned. The annual
demining program set up by ADF, in collaboration with CMAC and APSARA, allows the regular
clearing and the maintenance of the archaeological siles in Phnom Kulen. As staled in the Mou
between ADF and the APSARA National Authority. and as implemented from 2008, the ADF team
is selecting the sites, after approval by APSARA, and is coordinating the demining operations with
the CMAC teams.
ram
In addition to these demining orations related to archaeological research, ADF team reports and
follows up the unexploded ordnances IUXOI founded by villagers to the local authorities.
Assistance to the APSARA National Authori
for herita
ement in Phnom Kulen
ADF is continuing ils assistance lo APSARA for the conservation and the maintenance ofthe Phnom
Kulen archaeological sites. This concerns the ongoing maintenance and conservation of the
monuments and sites and their respective Archaeological Protected Areas IAPA, 800 heclaresl.

APA
The main objective of the APA is to protect the immediate environment of the archaeological siles
in Phnom Kulen from damaging agriculture practices, including deforeslalion and uncontrolled fires
and erosion. The idenlificalion of archaeological siles thanks lo the LIDAR was also one of the
outcomes, as well as to build awareness towards the population and the local authorities on their
cultural heritsge and the natural environment.
After the 2017 assessment of each zone, ADF reminded APSARA National Authority to replace the
broken posts demarcating the areas and submitted a report in Khmer lo APSARA on the 1 St of
October 2017. It summarises the number of broken lor missing) posts for each zone. A total of 45
should be replaced, as slated in APSARA-ADF Mou, signed at the end of 2017.

TRUSTEE'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
After their official recognition by the APSARA, the Ministry of Environment and the provincial
authorities of Siem Reap (May and June 20151, these zones still need a jurisdictional framework
and a clear definition of the responsible authority. Presently, the APSARA National Authority, in
charge of the archaeological sites in Siem Reap Province, manages them. Their exact status should
be defined within the framework of the Management Plan of PKNP, implemented with the Action
plan since 2018 and onward.
The additional APA1799 hectares demarcated in the Phnom Kulen National Parkl was implemented
in 2019 within the UNDP-BESD project around the Prasal Krohom 1 and 2 temples, the dike Thnal
O, Srae, and a group or earth mounds, north of Khlah Khmum village (see below, Environmental
program, UNDP-BESD project). Patrols by MOE rangers are organised since by the Ministry of
Environment lo control this area.
The Archaeology and Development Foundation has applied on the 30th of November 2021 to the

In march 2021, ADF requested the official aulhorisation lo undertake various phologmmmelric
acquisitions in Phnom Kulen, in collaboration with APSARA National Authority.
ADF archaeological research is focusing on the ancient settlements in Phnom Kulen and one of its
main's objectives is lo better define them, from the early capital of Mahendraparvats Ilale 81n_early
9th cenluryl to later ones during the angkorian and post- angkorian periods. Among the most
important siles of these periods are the rock shelters where hermits settled and sometimes left bas-
reliefs, inscriptions and traces of wooden architecture11 Oth to 121n century). Simultaneously to ADF
excavations in p￿ng Tbal and p￿ng Eisei12009, 2010 and 20121, two sites corresponding lo this
important tradition in Phnom Kulen, ADF team surveyed a maximum of these sites over the years,
lo complete their inventory, documentation and the general archaeological map of Phnom Kulen.
Some of these results were published in 2015, in the journal Asèanie, dated from 2013 1<< P￿n9
Tbal el P￿ng Eisei, ermilages angkoriens mèconnus du Phnom Kulen ￿, Aséanie 32, Décembre
2013, p. 11-761.
From April lo June 2021 and to strengthen this dynamic and complete the documentation of these
sites by obtaining detailed 3 D models, ADF pro￿eded lo phologrammelric surveys in Srah Damrei,
Poeng Eisei and Poeng Tbal. As the nearby temple of Prasat Damrei Krap was cleared in 2020 of
vegetation thanks to APSARA'S re￿nt restoration, ADF also undertook a phologrammelric
documentation of this temple.
The surveys (pictures taken by camera and drones) and the 3 D model were done by Mr. Nicolas
Josso, independent archaeologist and regular collaborator of the EFEO-Siem Reap Trnter. He was
assisted by Mr. Fréderic Laurent, drone operator and by Mr. Lounrn Leap IEFEO Siem Reap). The
ADF team and the APSARA guards of the respective siles were also Involved In the organEation of
the work for the transportation of the equipment and ft)r the clearing of the small vegetation, In some
ases necessary for a proper acquisition of the pictures. These clearing were completed in some
ase by sweeping fallen tree leaves on rocks. The complementary topographical surveys lo localize
the targets were done by Mr. Leng Sathya IAPSARAI.
A first sel of pictures was taken in early April 2021 al Srah Damrei, lo ensure the technical feasibility
of the 3 D models. This was 8 necessary step considering the technical complexity of the project.
The team then came back to the field lo finalise the geo-localised pictures of the four selected sites.
The treatment of these images was done over the summer 2021 in France by Mr. N. Josso.

DEVELOPMENT: FIELD OPERATIONS
Overview..
sin￿ its conception, the Archaeology & Development Foundation has closely linked the axes
of ils action on the field. The beneficiaries of the development activities, the population of Phnom
Kulen, have suffered from a dark chapter in Cambodia history and civil war. The side effects are
still very tangible today.. lack of Irusl, lack of public infraslruclures, lack of access to healthcare,
food, nutrition and sanilalion, lack of education and awareness, difficulties to bring products lo
market, low reSoUr￿S from the governmental bodies (Health dpt, Education dpl, Police, Ministry of

Some of the schools are facing an important turn over as qualified teachers are reluclanl lo work in
Khnong Phnom commune, and facilities are poor as compared to other communes in Siem Reap
province. This results in inadequate education for the children rendering yel another generation that
is very likely lo fall into the povety. There Is only one secondary school and one health centre for
nine villages of the commune (Khnong Phnom, 4750 inhabitants In 20211.
For a significant percentage of this population, peace and stability is enough and they don't see the
need for further change and development. Breaking the poverty cycle in any context is challenging.
For this population located on a remote plateau with a difficult access, it is even more problematic.
An important proportion of the population in Khnong Phnom commune live in extreme poverty or
poverty, surviving on 'day lo day bases. Others are now wealthier thanks lo the illegal cultivation of
Cashew nuts.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Seasonal food shortages continually affect some of the population of Phnom Kulen. The
ramifications of food shortages are numerous, the most notable are family health and wellbeing.
Sickness exacerbates the multitude of issues that poor families have lo endure, further interning
them into the poverty cycle. A large proportion of the poor people are suffering from the lack of liquid
assets. They are subsislenl famiers and have little lo no money lo buy the basic necessities to
attain the very basics of life.. soap for personal and family hygiene, fundamental household
materials, cooking pols andlor basic repairs to their dwellings andlor basic farming tools.
However, the new road being built from Svay Leu to the checkpoint on the wesl side of Kulen is
now changing this general dynamic. The southern villages of Anlong Thom, Thma Chruogn and Ta
Penh are now accessible by car. Tourist Inalional or foreigners) Can now visit these villages and the
archaeological siles nearby. The C-19 pandemic has slopped all international tourism In Cambodia
bul many Cambodians are now able to travel lo national parks and sites in their country. As in
December 2021, the section of this new road, from Svay Leu to Preah Ang Thom, was requiring a
few more months lo be finalised. The second section, from Preah Ang Thom lo the western
heckpoinl of the park will start In a second phase. The northem villages IPopel, Khlah Khmum and
Sangke Lakl remain Isolated with very difficult access road.
Other govemment bodies, for example the Ministry of Environment IMOEI and the police. have
limited resource. The result of this is a lack of law enforcement, illegal logging, poaching, illegal
building and house construction, a general depletion of the environmental natufftl recourses," which
are having serious consequences for the water of Angkor Park and Siem Reap town, as Phnom
Kulen is the n8tuol water tank of the region.
For the last 30 years, Phnom Kulen National Park faced a very important deforestation mostly due
lo the slash and burnt practice, combined with the illegal cultivation of cashew nul. Illegal logging of
large trees and hunting are still observed. However, and for the last few years, ranger patrols have
been more active and these practices have reduced, at least in the southern part of the plateau,
where the population is concentrated.
Under the development program, ADF has sel up four main components lo address these issues..
11 Income Generalionlalternalive livelihoods, 21 Hygiene and sanitalionlEmergency Relief, 31
Educational support, and 41 Environmental component.
They are all tailored-made to the Kulen problematic and are implemented in coordination with the
Khnong Phnom Commune Development plan, the Ministry of Environment and the APSARA
Authority.
The 2021 activities are presented below.
INCOME GENERATION {IGIIALTERNATIVE LIVELIHOOD PROGRAM
ri¢ulture alternative livelihood
The objective remains the same as the previous years.. lo enhance and develop alternative income
generation aclivilies, with the purpose of encouraging the Phnom Kulen population to move away
from their current unsustainable, illegal and destructive practi￿S Imono-cullure of cashew nuts and
slash-and-burnl lo sustainable and environmentally friendly income generation activities. As
behaviour change is a process taking time, this comF)onenl has lo aim towards positive examples
and repetition. 11 is therefore the most challenging component of ADF within the development
component.
ADF agriculture alternative livelihood
Reminder.. As for the previous 11 years (since 20101, ADF continued In 2021 the support lo local
communities and villagers from Khnong Phnom commune. ADF propose technical assistance and
materials for the families lo undertake animal raising (chicken, pigl. In 2021, the direct beneficiaries
of ADF IG comF)onenl were the same as in 2020". 9 families raising chicken 11 in Ta Penh, 5 in

Phum Thmeyl. This was completed by numerous families reached by the two other related projects,
both started in 2019 {ADFI AGRISUD project and UNDP-BESD project,. see 2020 report and below).
ADF IG team continued to monitor these animal raisers and provided material if needed. ADF also
invited veterinarian (From the Agriculture Dpt, Svay Leu Dislricll to monitor pig farmers and lo
vaccinate the animals 3 limes for each farmer. He specifically came to check animal with issues on
the 8lh of March 2021.
With the objective lo transform these producers into independent local entrepreneurs, ADF
encouraged them lo contribute with their incomes lo the costs. This allows taking ownership for their
business, ensuring sustainable alternative incomes. Beneficiaries were previously asked to repay
back lo ADF'S IG accounts 50.kn of the amount spent for the materials and equipment they received
from ADF. From January 2019 to December 2020, ADF applied the 75.kn rale for the
reimbursements, lo encourage the beneficiaries to be responsible. From January 2021, ADF
ollecled these reimbursements on a 50'k rate again as most of farmers had difficulties to pay back
a higher rate. They were collected from pig farmers, rice bank and mushroom producers leven
though this last activity was stopped being supported by ADF in 2018, but some of the previous
beneficiaries still had lo reimburse ADFI, and they were reused for the IG program.
UNDP-Funded ADF agriculture alternative livelihood
Reminder.. Since 2019 and over the year 2020, ADF received funds from UNDP Cambodia and
SIDA within the BESD project to provide alternative livelihoods lo Khlah Khmum villagers in Kulen,
in relation with the creation of a protected area lo the north of the village (see below, Environmental
componenll.
In 2020, ADF team has proposed alternative livelihood activities to the villagers of Khlah Khmum.
They selected chicken and pig raising. Al the end of the year 2020, 2 families were raising chicken
and 11 families were raising pigs in Khlah Khmum village. ADF provided technical advices and
material Ipiglels and chicks, nets, nails, cement, bricks, water tanks and feeding lanksl, with funds
from the BESD project. In 2021, ADF team continued lo follow up these families and extended the
animal raising activities with the BESD-PES project to a total of 31 families. 2 families for chicken
raising in Khlah Khmum and 29 families for pig raising124 in Khlah Khmum and 7 in Anlong Thoml.

meetings was lo explain to the existing beneficiaries and the potential new beneficiaries the
partnership of ADF and AGRISUD, the benefit of the new synergy of the combined experience of
both organizalions, and finally the strategy for new agriculture I IG aclivilies. The agreement
between ADF and AGRISUD consists in a partnership where both organisalions join their funds in
the same project. ADF continues to pay for the costs of ADF IG component (salaries of both Ms.

2020 Anlon
Thom CBTC aclivilies..
From January lo October 2020, the Anlong Thom CBTC was finalised and opened. Roles and
responsibilities of the CBTC members were defined together with the CPA members, TC and ADF.
The CPA is the villagerfs oryanisalion in charge of the preservation of 365 ha of preserved forest
by Anlong Thom village. Because of the long-lasling history of this slruclure, ADF was inclined to
use il forlhe management ofthe CBTC. Ilwas also recommended by the MOE. However, the CBTC
was requiring more and various positions Imolo drivers, cook, guide... I than the CPA and therefore
the 2 structures are closely linked bul their organisalion charts Slight￿ different. Anlong Thom CPA
is hosting the CBTC and the CBTC team manages the centre. TC was providing technical help to
define the CBTC touristic offers, the training of the CBTC members and ensured the promotion of
the centre. ADF was proving the general follow-up of the project and technical assistan￿ and
specific trainings.
The organisation of this structure was done progressively during the year 2020, together between
CBTC, TC et ADF members. ADF has hired on a part-time basis from April to December 2020 Ms.
Chhun Phirom, TC staff, as a manager for this project. She was in charge of setting up the centre
and its organisalion. This includes the trainings of the CBTC members and the definition of the good
prartices and security measures for visitors and staff, the hygiene and environmental rules for
visitors and staff, check-up lists and security regulation for molo-drivers, hygiene rules and menu
lists with environmenl8lly-friendly packaging and internal rules of the CBTC.
Several documents were designed such as the visitor recording system, receipts and invoices from
CBTC and parking, motorbike check-list for moto drivers, emergency conl8Ct list, contract for cooks,
drivers and local guides.
ADF has also hired a person on a part-time basis contract to run the centre fmm October to
December 2020 and continued over a few months in 2021 Isee below). Others CBTC members
would be paid on a task-basis, according to their responsibilities.. 2 local guides, 3 cooks, 14 moto
drivers. Other responsibilities were defined such as CBTC fund manager, secretary, maintenance,
tree nursery and vegetable garden, camping manager, tools and equipment manager, for a total of
17 persons.
Activities such as tree nursery and vegetable garden were requested by the CBTC team lo provide
additional incomes. They benefitted from ADF experience and training in vegetable farming and
tree nursery lo start these aclivilies.
The centre also displays local handicrafts products Imals, baskets, knives... l. These traditional
objects are crafted by elders in villages. This know-how is threatened to disappear if it is not
transmitted and supported by a larger market. The centre aims lo encourage their production and
sales, bringing additional incomes to this vulnerable population. The CBTC will provide direct

From April to June 2020, Ms. Chhun Phirom and the CBTC staff undertook surveys lo define the
tours that could be offered to the visitors, particularly lo the south and east of Anlong Thom village
where there are more archaeological remains. Three tOLJrs were defined and include ancient sites,
preserved forested areas, and cultivated areas. Services are offered on a daily basis as visitors
come for a day from Siem Reap. Walking tours were preferred to tours with molotaxis,. others are
combining both. Drivers lake turn so every one of them can get incomes.
The prices for each of these tours have been calculated by Terre Cambodge and include the local
guide, the price of mototaxis, meals, water and a snack. They range from 17.5 US $ 10 58 US$ per
person, according to number of guests. These prices are calculated based on costs and include a

Following the start of Covid-19 crisis in March and April 2020, and the reactions lo it, some
Cambodians camped near the river passing just north of the Anlong Thom CPA, at three distinct
points (Peam Kre, O'Ta Chok, O'chup Thnall. The Anlong Thom CPA members therefore tried lo
organize these areas to lake advantage of the economic benefits of these campsites. They invested
in buying tents, building toilets and doing some clearing by the river lo sel up the lenls. It was not
the Intention of TC or ADF to encourage the practice of camping In these conditions, bul with no
Choi￿ regarding this situation, ADF and TC provided their advice lo Improve these camping
conditions. On a fourth location, the Angkorian dyke of Thnal Dac, members of the CPA had
previously built picnic kiosks. ATC and ADF helped define the prices for the rental of kiosks,
equipment, security and parking, and finally the prices of the meals offered.
The training of the CBTC team has been continuous since May 2020. It is provided by Ms. Chhun
Phirom and has been focused on the reception and management of groups of visitors. training in
hygiene rules for cooks and rules safety for mototaxis, and finally the preservation of the
environment and waste management. A water filter was purchased by ADF out of the project
budget. 11 allows CBTC members to fill their aluminium gourds. These, as well as a g8rbage bag,
were provided free ofcharge by Terre Cambodge for each memberofthe CBTC. Mr. JB Chevance
also provided two introductory sessions to the archaeology and history of Phnom Kulen to members
of the CPA and the CBTC lJune 3rd and November 18lh 20201. The training and support lo CBTC

and simultaneous project in the village of Popel ICBTC of Popell, funded by the UNDP (United
Nations Development Program, see ADF environmental component below) and to HUMY'S support
Isee below). ADF also provided training for CBTC members for the nursery and vegetable garden.
The CBTC also aims lo increase awareness of the natural and archaeological sites of the Anlong
Thom region lo visitors and local population. This included designing the information panels and
maps presented in the cenlre. The ￿ntre and ils interior volumes were designed in part taking into
account the existen￿ of information panels. Several were designed, printed and installed. All of
these panels were designed by Mr. JB Chevance and Ms. Chhum Pirom. The English lexls were
translated into Khmer by Mr. Sakhoeun Sakada and Ms. Hoeung Hourapich IADFI. Once the texts
and design were validated by ADF and TC, they were printed in Siem Reap then transported and
installed in the building the days before the official opening of the cenlre. A volunteer photographer
Imr. Keo Kosall was kind enough lo take several photo shoots to illustrate some of the information
boards (agricultural activities, livestock and local crafts, identity photos of the CBTC members).
The centre was officially opened on the 111h of November 2020, in presen￿ of Mr SUN Kong,
Provincial Director of the Environment Iministry of the Environmenll, of the team of CBTC and CPA

each of the CBTC members.
On November 4th 2020, H.E. SAY Samal, Minister of Environment of Cambodi8, presented the third
prize for the best CPA in the country to the Anlong Thom CPA. This was an encouraging sign.

The main objective of this project, implemented from October 2021 to March 202216,771.2 US$ on
the 16th of Sept 20211, was lo provide the necessary training for the two Community-based Tourism
Centres (Popel and Anlong Thom CBTCS) members and their related Community Protected Area
ICPAI members In Phnom Kulen National Park IPKNPI. The project aimed lo develop the capacities
of these villagers by providing training sessions regarding tourism management, environmental
education,. protection, law enforcement and patrolling.
The training of the CPA members was divided be￿een thematic provided by various partners.. a
Terre Cambodge Cambodian guide, familiar with PKNP for tourism and hospitality training, PKNP
rangers and PDOE staff for forest patrolling, and long-experienced and successful community-based
cenlres in other provinces, for management of CBTC and patrolling.
For both CBTCS, a first training was given by Mr. Ratana from the 2nd to the 4th of November 2021
about tourism and hospitality.
A second training was given by the Provincial Dpt of Environment IPKNP Director) and Park rangers
about patrolling and law enforcement Itheorelical and pfficticall, on the 10th and 11th of November
(for Anlong Thom CPA members) and 24th and 25th of November 2021 (for Popel CPA members).
The 2 CPA members were trained to develop local patrols to better protect their CPA from the
identified threats." illegal logging, poaching and hunting, encroachment and deforestslion for
farming. Trainings focused on use of the applications for patrolling (Timeslamp, Avanza maps, GPS
lesl, Google map, Google earthl, a simplified knowledge of the Protected A￿a laws and CPA rules,
the law enforcement with the recording of illegal activities and procedures for reporting to MOE (form

support. The practical training Iday 21 focused on patrolling (divided in 2 groups) with discussions
about field problematics.
These patrolling training sessions were organised from October lo December 2021 and field patrols
in PKNP only started in January 2022. Regular funded patrolling allows CPA members from Popel
and Anlong Thom and a PKNP rangers from the MOE lo visit their respective protected area on
weekly basis, lo prevent illegal activities. The reporting system was oryanised with patrol and
attendance forms, pictures, recording treks on Avenza softhare with smartphones. This trekking
application was chosen rather than GPS, requiring a computer. 11 can be completed by other
application georeferencing pictures, in case of illegal activities. SinTr January 2022, patrols are
organised randomly (not the same day every week and not the same area within each CPA) one lo
twice a week and monitored by ADF-PDOE teams, with a systematic report for each patrol (track
location, time of departure and arrival, form to complete with participants, reporting form, pictures... I
sent to two specially created Telegram groups lone for each CPA) and addressed to all partners
involved IMOE, PDOE, Park direction, CPA and CBTC Members, ADF, TC, HUMY. .).
As for the HUMY 1 project, ADF worked in close collaboration with local authorities and the Ministry
of Environment lin charge of Phnom Kulen National Parkl and particularly with the Phnom Kulen
National Park rangers and the Provincial Department of Environment IPDOEI.
A promotion video13'1 was also ordered to promote the Anlong Thom CBTC. However. it was not
posted before the end of 2021, as the C-19 pandèmic restfftin lo promote the centre. Six walkie-
181kies were bought for Popel CPA and CBTC teams.
A second component within the HUMY 2 pmject aimed to support and promote the PKNP
handicofts producers. Tmditional objects (mostly mats, baskets, cutlasses and knives) are crafted
by vulnerable elders in Phnom Kulen villages and this know-how is threatened lo disappear, if il is
not transmitted and supported by a larger market. The project aims lo transmit this knowledge of
making these environmentally friendly products to younger generation and to promote them at the
CBTCS and other selling points in Siem Reap of Phnom Penh, offering additional incomes to the
artisans. A video, a banner, a leaflet and a catalogue were produced, distributed and promoted on
social media. A distribution name was created with ils logo (Kulen Crafts with a Facebook page..
htt s'.Ilwww.facebook.comlKulencraftsl. The item list was defined, with their corresponding prices.
A traditional mat weaver from Sangke Lak village was identified for her advanced skills Ims. Chheun
Tevl and selected as a trainer for other women willing to join the training sessions. From October
lo November 2021, and over 6 days120th 21st 2Ph and 28th of October,. 3Td and 4th of November
20211, 8 women from Sangke Lak village {from 33 to 68 years old) joined a first training, producing
42 mats. The trainings sessions were organised as follow.. a general discussion about the
experiences of weaving mats, learning techniques to mix the pigments with pandan leaves and to
mix the pigment lo gel different colour, leam weaving with different patterns, and finally, exchanging
on each trainee final product. Every trainee expressed the desire lo continue lo produce mats and
lo be helped lo sell their products.
The training of the mal weaver from Anlong Thom village was organised for January and February
2022. The training of the basket weaver and blacksmiths could not happen due to the difficulty of
finding trainees willing to leam these ancestral techniques. This will be attempted again in 2022.

supported by Terre Cambodge travel Agency and Frangipani Spa. Due to the C-19 pandemic,
international tourism has completely slopped in Cambodia in March 2020 and these donors were
no longer able to support any longer ADF. From March 2020 onward, it was no longer funded by
these donors bul financial reserve of funds was made over these years of regular funding, and
ADF was able lo go through the years 2020 and 2021 by using them. ADF continued to re￿1ve the
financial support another associated lour operator Ichamaeleon Sliftung, November 2020 and April
20211, lo sustain the Income generation IIGllalternalive livelihood program. The regular donation
from a faithful private donor {Mr. Eric 8ettens and his friends) was also fully allocated lo the Income
Generation Component.
In retum, ADF provides presentations to the visitors from these tour operators about the ADF
activities. Visitors are encouraged lo give private donations in cash lo ADF, which are dedicated lo
the IG budget. In some cases, if the tours are long enough, visitors can also participate in the IG
activities with the beneficiaries lex. help the farmer lo maintain his vegetable farml. There were only
a few presentations done from February to March 2020 as no more visitors came later on.
This situation remained the same over the year 2021 with the exception of one group which came
in February 2021 la private visit of the French Ambassador in Cambodia and her friends). It was
guided by ADF director using Terre Cambodge and the Anlong Thom CBTC services in Phnom

Reminder". The ADF input and support for the Riee Bank, sel up in 2013 in Thma Chruogn village,
is now mainly of a technical nature, guidance, monitoring and recording. The objective of this project
is to alleviate food insecurity amongst the target population. The concept is similar lo a bank".
beneficiaries can borrow rice when they have a shortage of supplies and have to give il back with
a low interest, after the harvesting season lusually in November each yearl.
The beneficiaries are divided into 8 groups of household members, an equivalent to 34 families.
The rice bank committee consists of 4 permanent members who are organizing in-house activities,
ranging from adminislralion to the maintenance of the rice bank. They are also responsible for
lending to and collecting rice from the household members. 13 families borrowed rice in 2020, 18
families in 2019, 24 families in 2018, 27 families in 2017, 39 families in 2016, 23 families in 2015
and 34 families in 2014. Less families lend lo borrow over the years. This shows food security in
this village is less a problem than before.
On the 1211 of January 2021, the rice bank collected rice from farmers for a total of 4,484 Kg. The
number of borrowers in 2021 was 10 families (total of 60 persons, including 27 female). 2,900 Kg
of ri￿ were distributed to villagers, and the remaining 1,584 Kg were kept in rice bank. On two
occasions during the year 2021, the borrowers who could not reimburse by rice reimbursed the
bank with the equivalent of the rice market price11 Kg-0.3 US$) in cash.. on the 201h of Jan 2021

and develop Water Sanitation and Hygiene facilities in two primary schools on the plateau of Phnom
Kulen National Park (Klah Khmum, Sangke Lakl. The project was combining hygiene Imultiple daily
hand washing and teeth brushing, regular nail-cutting, weekly training sessions) and environmental
awareness practices (regular school cleaningl. Both inlervenlions will foster preventative healthy
behaviour to primary school children, resulting in affirmative life skill behaviours. The third
inletvention was lo rehabilitate or built efficient water systems and hygiene facilities in the primary
school ofTa Penh, Sangke Lak and Khlah Khmum.
The project started in June 2018 with an assessment or baseline survey until August 2018 (See
ADF 2018 activity report). Almayuda Fundacion represenlalives visited the Phnom Kulen schools
with ADF team late February 2019. Two reports were submitted lo the donors lin April 2019,
covering the period from June 2018 to March 2019 and in June 2019, covering the period from April
2019 to June 20191. These project reports narrate the activities Implemented during the first 12
months of the WISH project lJune 2018 to June 20191, presenting every activity, challenges met
and solutions found, as well as plans for the futures and expenses and were summarised in the
2019 ADF activity report for the Charity Commission.
The WISH 1 project was originalty planned from June 2018 to May 2020 124 monlhsl. Due to the
C-19 crisis and the closure of all schools in Cambodia on the 1Th of March 2020, il was decided
with Almayuda Fundacion to shorten it until the end of April 2020, one month prior lo the original
closing date. The remaining budget was used for an adapted project IC-19 WISH, see below).
Before the end of the C19-WISH project, another project (WISH 21 extended lo additional schools,
was submitted for funding to Almayuda Fundacion.
The final report for the WISH 1 project was submitted to Almayuda Fundacion in May 2020 and w8S
summarised in the ADF 2020 report. The C19-WISH report was also summarised in this report and
submilled lo the Almayuda Fundacion in January 2021 and is summarised below.
The VWSH 1 external and independent evaluation started in November 2019 until February 2020. It
assessed how the project performed and provided recommendations for further action. It was done
by medical sludenl Mr. Sebastian Von Shreeb and his assistant Ms. Kong Leaksmy lal no cost for
the project). A mixed methods approach was applied, including research-adminislered surveys,
semi-slruclured interviews, sile inspection, microbiological lesling and analysis of health centre
admission data. The result was a high-quality report, evaluating positively the methodology and the
results of the VMSH 1 project.
The Evaluation report encapsulated some very positive results and findings, alongside with 17
recommendations. They included a filler water campaign, a module on menstrual hygiene, a review
of hygiene teaching methods, fact-checked health information for monthly leaching sessions and
educational opportunities for staff-training. Some of them were piloted from February 2020 bul had
lo stop from the 1 Ph of March 2020, as all school in Cambodia were closed due to the Covid 19
pandemic.
Others recommendations, such as the expansion of the project in the nearby schools of Ta Penh
and Popel las requested by their teachers and where ADF has an important level of Involvement
for the development of the villages." agrICu￿Ure alternative livelihoods, tree nursery, forest zoning
and protection, CBTC, water systemsl, where water and sanitation facilities were missing and with
numerous children registered, required a larger project and were therefore included into the WISH
2 project. Other challenges remained and should also be addressed in a future project". For instance,
the evaluation found high levels of faecal conlaminalion in the tap water the children drink from.
Also, a large majority still practice open defecation, which contaminates soil and water sources.
Project staff lack basic education in the concepts of water, sanitation and hygiene, as well as the
principles of health behaviour change. Moreover, girls largely lack access lo any information about
menstrual hygiene management. Finally, there is a large risk that achieved improvements will be
lost if involvement in the schools ends abruptly.

TRUSTEE'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The COVID 19 Water In-emergency Sanitstion & Hygiene IC-19 WISHI project was adapted from
the WISH 1 project, after the C-19 global pandemic struck the world in the first quarter of 2020. It
started in May 2020 and lasted until December 2020. The predominate effect on ADF'S VMSH 1
project was the closing of the Khlah Khmum and Sangke Lak primary schools. Like all schools in
Cambodia, they were closed lo contain the spread of the C-19, from 16th of March lo 7th of
September 2020. From 301h of November 2020 to 111h of January 2021, a second closure of all
schools in Cambodia was decided by the government.
Due lo these extraordinary circumstances and after communications in late April 2020 with the
Almayuda Foundation, the donor supportively agreed to change the WISH 1 project into an
emergency COVID 19 Awareness & Avoidance Campaign and to support the under-resourced
Khnong Phnum Commune I Phnom Kulen's Health Centre. The objective of this project was lo help
Iighling the pandemic in the villages of Phnom Kulen with C19 preventive activities. Itwas combining
C-19 awareness sessions with environmental education, hygiene sessions for hundreds of Khnong
Phnom Commune villagers and preventative health care equipment and materials distribution
Iposters, disinfectant, cleaning materials and soapl. Additional donations allowed to distribute more
hygiene materials.
From the project In￿pIlon lin partnership with the Anlong Thom Health Centre staffj to the
procurement of all equipment and materials and their transportation lo Phnom Kulen, ADF-WISH
team has hold 57 C-19 preventative sessions, oryanized in g villages and involving 708 participants.
ADF team insisted on getting the right information (from the World Health Organization and from
the Cambodia Ministry of Health as opposed lo rumoursl, on being safe by following the basic heatth
precautions (social distancing, repeated hand washing, distribution of 180 sealed water buckets
with a lap to every households in Kh18h Khmum and Sangke Lak village and numerous hygiene
related items, all listed in ADF 2020 report.
Cambodia has been -on a sanitary point of view- very little affected by the virus, compared to other
countries in the world. However, the economic consequences are very important, with a total shut
down of the intemalional tourism for example. As the general pandemic is evolving, facts and
miligalion I prevention measures were also evolving and updating. Consequently, clear
communications, flexibility in planning and activity implementstion were essential in implementing
this emergency projects. The Anlong Thom Health Centre and the Svay Leu district authorities were
very supportive in working with the ADF C-19 WISH team, adjusting activities on a need's bases.
If the C-19 pandemic in Cambodia is not as dramatic as in other countries, the C-19 WISH project
in Phnom Kulen has given the opportunity lo raise awareness towards villagers about the risks of a
pandemic and to reinforce messages on general hygiene practices in households. Lessons learned
from this project, and particularly the fact that hygiene practices al home are not always respected
as In schools, should be associated, as much as ADF can, within the WISH 2 project, stsrting from
January 2021 onward. Overall, the final Incomes and expenditures are balanced and all the funds
allocated for the C-19 WISH project were spent.
WISH 2. 20211=year 11 summary report
Reminder
Proper personal water-based hygiene practices (washing hands and body with soap, tooth
brushing) are positive habits vitally important, for both individual's health and for the community in
general. 11 is now even more vital in stopping the development and spread of illnesses, infections
or viruses such as the COVID 19 pandemic.
The purpose of the WISH 2 project12021-2022, with a possible 2-year exlensionl is the expansion
of the Water In-environment Sanitation and Hygiene IVVISH 11 project. It was formulated in the
WISH 1 project's 161h and 17th ￿ComMendations, from the external independent End-Line
evaluation. The WISH 1 project addfftssed basic hygiene p￿ctICe$ and infrastructures in Khlah
Khmum and Sangke Lak primary schools. The VVISH 2 project aims to develop them in Popel and
Ta Penh villages and lo address issues observed in the VWSH 1's external evaluation.

TRUSTEE'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Many schools still do not provide access lo toilets with running water, wash bays and waste facilities
in Cambodia. Open defecation is still very common in rural areas (Water, sanitation and hygiene
UNICEF Country Programme 2019-20231. Providing children with clean drinking water and
adequate loilels, and instilling in them the need lo wash their hands are the most effective ways of
reducing illness, ensuring they develop into healthy adults. Diarrhea, which often results from poor
sanitation and hygiene, is a major cause of children's illnesses. Anaemia and worm infections is
impeding mental development and lead lo a loss of physical and mental energy. Heavily infected
children will not grow as expected for their age and in more severe cases, il leads to slunling and
impaired brain development.
At the inception of the project, Popel primary school had no piped water, Popel and Ta Penh toilets
schools were not functioning and had no rubbish bins and waste disposal. On the other hand,
Sangke Lak and Khlah Khmum primary schools where the VVISH 1 project was implemented had
functioning hygiene equipment and children had very regular hygiene practices.
In light of the Coronavirus and such as in 2020. when the WSH 1 project was modified into a C-19
WISH project. ADF expected particular circumstances challenging the WISH 2 project's
implementation. In 2021, the WSH 2 project was very disturbed by the closure of the schools.
However, ADF team adapted to the pandemic situation with a clear communication with all project
key stakeholders Ihealth centre staff, te8chers, parents, local aulhoritiesl and the donors, Almayuda
Fundacion. As the ch811enges imposed by the pandemic eased in Cambodia and the schools
reopened in November 2021, ADF was able to relocate the project as originally conceived in these
4 primary schools of Khnong Phnom Commune.
Activities of the VVISH 2 in 2021
11 Arrange & schedule a meeting venue & inform all stskeholders
On the 8th of January 2021, ADF oryanized the VVISH 2 launching meeting at Ta Penh school. Were
present the commune chief, the 4 village chiefs, the Department of Education representative Isvay
leu district), ADF WISH and management teams, all principals and teachers involved 16 persons).
The project was presented followed by exchanges. Teachers from WISH 1 project expressed the
benefit and issues. For the 2 new largeled schools, each principal expressed the lack of hygiene
infraslruclures or water. The contact list of all involved teachers and principals was established. A
visit of Ta Penh (missing, failing) infraslruclures was done at the break lime. All local authorities are
aware of the VMSH 2 project and can help, in particular during dry season when there are sometimes
problems with piped-water systems with families taking advantages of the existing infrastructures.
21 Develop a baseline survey methodology along with questionnaires
The Baseline survey was designed to revisit the accomplishments from WISH-1, to constitute the
assessment of new baseline, to lay groundwork for WSH-2 Logical Framework Matrix ILFMI, and
lo track the progress of IMSH-2 objectives.
A total of 103 interviews were conducted during the course of this Base-line survey, from November
lo December 2020. 60 students were interviewed across the 4 villages ITa Penh, Sangke Lak, Khlah
Khmum and Popell, as well as 30 parents at the household level. The baseline survey team also
consulted with 10 teachers13 from Sangke Lak, 2 from Khlah Khmum, 4 from Popel and 1 from Ta
Penh primary schools). Three of the ADFIWISH team were consulted on a daily basis. Water
samples were collected at water sources and at the wash bays and brought to Siem Reap laboratory
for lesls.
The baseline slated 7 recommendations on increasing sanitary toilet usage, water quality, hygiene
sessions, hygiene related infrastructures or material and C19 knowledge and prevention, detailed
below".
Recommendation # 1
To get a holistic understanding of the evaluation of ADF'S WISH projects, this Base-line report
should be read in conjunction with the External WISH-1 evaluation report IFebruary 20201 and the
WISH 1 Final report Imay 20201, the ADF'S Water Field Assessment (September 20201, the IMSH-
2 Project proposal (October 20201 and the WISH-C19 fin81 report (January 20211.

TRUSTEE'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Recommendation # 2
To reduce the pffictice of open defecation, the ADF WISH team with the parents, school teachers
and key stakeholders should collaborate together and pursue realistic solutions to promote an
increase in sanitary toilet usage among the community.
Recommendation # 3
As proven from the water test results, chlorine is a cosl*ffeclive method lo eodicate E-coli and
other water pathogens detrimental lo human health.
However, if a systematic, safe and controlled method of purifying the water meeting VVHO standards
on Phnom Kulen can NOT be 100010 implemented, aquatic pathogens will inevitably recur. Without
an expensive water purification facility, which is outside the resources of the VVISH-2 project,
harmful pathogens will persistently return.
Therefore, the Base-line survey team proposed the following recommendations..
1. To extend the use of robust water filtration units, used in conjunction with solar- ultraviolet light
water filters, that can kill up to 900/0 viruses and germs. These should be installed in strategic
locations.
2. Budget permitting, to lesl the water quality on regular intervals, preferably every four months. The
VMSH-2 budget has no budget line for this., thus, this may not be feasible. However, ADF will be
seeking additional funds for this.
In the Circumstan￿ that, these two recommendations DO NOT attain acceptable drinking water
Ibelow VVHO'S recommended levels of water borne palhogensl the survey team recommends that
the WISH -2 project purchase 50- or 100-liter water holding tanks and add Chlorine doses, lo reach
WHO standards.
'For normal domestic use, residual chlorine levels al the point where the consumer collects water
should be belween 0.2 and 0.5 mgll (Milligrams per Lilrel (Source.. VVHOI. Higher level will be close
lo disinfection levels and can be harmful lo human health. The WISH-2 implementation team should
verify the proper quantity of chlorine lo attain a safe drinking water from the professional team of
Water for Cambodia.
Recommendation # 4
Where practically possible, the VVISH-2 project should procure soap and other cleaning materials
from Naga earth Company Ihttp".Ilwww.nagaearth.orglcommunity-soap-programl or Eco-soap
Bank Ihttps.'Ilecosoapbank.orgl. They are environmentally friendty cleaning products, appropriate
for a National park, and at a reasonable cost or free. However, the C-19 pandemic has affected
these potential suppliers and their volume of production is smaller.
Recommendation # 5
To continue and up scale the menstrual hygiene training to all four targeted primary schools. When
possible and to assist ADF'S WSH team, the WISH 2 team should include the educational skills of
ADF'S National consultant Ms. Chhun Phirom, together with the health professionals from the
Phnom Kulen health cenlre.
Recommendation # 6
To oplimize the IMSH-2 hygiene and sanitation Infrastructure budget, the team should use some of
the existing infraslruclure to maximize its effectiveness. For example, the currently disused water
holding tsnk al Ta Penh primary school should be included in the future wash bay water system.
Recommendation # 7
The WISH 2 project should implement a maximum of the 17 recommendations made by the end
line survey (February 20201, respecting the overall budget.
This baseline survey was implemented from November 2020 to January 2021 by ADF I WSH team
Imr Dave Sandilands, Mr. Seng Samry IWISH supervisor), Ms. Loem Nimul IWISH officerl and Mr.
Khen Savann (WISH officer). The corresponding report 131 pages) was sent lo Almayuda

Over the years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022, the number of children allending primary schools has
dropped in the 4 tsrgeled schools1407-372=351. The last figure (January 20221 show a stagnation
in the total number of children13741. After checking with teachers and principals, the two reasons
identified are the departure of children to secondary schools (from grade 71 lo the Anlong Thom
secondary school and the lower number of children in kinder garden.
It is important to note that the third reason for this lower number of children attending school is the
closure of schools in 2020 (from 18th of March to 7th of September 2020, then from 301h of November
2020 10 11th of January 20211 and in 2021 (from 201h of March to 1￿ November). From the year
2020-2021 to the year 2021-2022. 7 children stopped allending school in Ta Penh, 11 in Sangke
Lak, and 6 in Popel and none in Khlah Khmum. ADF will do his best for getting these 24 kids back
lo school, with the help of each principal.
ADF team has encouraged the parents and motivated the teachers lo bring these children back to
school. They have reintegrated their curriculum and now benefit from the WISH 2 project.

ro
ecl
The closure of every school In Cambodia from the 201h of March to the 1 St of November 2021 and
the general reslricb'ons Iforbidding group of people to gather) really disturbed the WISH 2 project's
implementation. However, the situation was similar in 2020 with a long period of school closure
Ifrom 16th of March lo 7th of September 2020, then from 30th of November 2020 to 11th of January
20211.
The ADF VVISH 2 team had to adapt lo these extraordinary circumstances. The hygiene daily
sessions and the monthly cleaning-up day were not possible any more, neither were the
complementary monthly Health Centre lessons ISEAF-funded, see below). In order to mitigate the
effects of the school closure, the ADF VVISH team implemented hygiene related activities taking in
consideration this particular conlexl..
Regular toothpaste and toothbrushes distribution to chIld￿n on the schools, from the end of
April to October 2021, on a weekly-basis.
Hygiene sessions at school when school were closed (April to Oeloberl, on a weekly-basis.
Soap distribution lo school principals, on a needed-basis.
Soap distribution lo villagers, when possible.
84 Outdoor C19 prevention sessions in households in April and May, on a weekly-basis,
reaching in lots1947 participants, including 201 women. Due lo the gathering restrictions, there
was a small number of participants for each session. This was Implemented In the villages of
Khlah Khmum, Sangke Lak, Popel, Ta Penh, Phum Thma Chruogn and Phum Thmey, in
ollaboration with Health centre staff.
Due to the important vaccination campaign in Cambodia, the C-19 pandemic slow down and the
schools in Phnom Kulen reopened from the 18th to 22nd October 2021, involving children for labour
work (clearing grass and cleaning the school facilities). Children from grade 3 10 6 finally went back
lo school for learning from the 25th of October 2021, and from the 1￿ of November 2021 for the
children in Kinder garden, grade 1 and grade 2.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
From November 2021, schools were normally functioning in Cambodia, as children from 6 10 12
were mostly vaccinated against C-19. They had to wear masks and show their certificate of
vaccination. Despite a small percentage of contamination with the C-19 Omicron variant (mostly in
Phnom Penh), the governmental instructions from this dale avoid complete lockdown and closure
of schools. The country has to leam with the pandemic. This is good news for the WISH project
since ils implementation in functioning primary schools is al ils base. January 2022 will see more

back. In most cases, these poor families have no Iransportalion mode to travel this distance, the
roads are in bad conditions, and don't have enough financial resources lo buy food while in town.
In 2021, 8 persons benefited from this emergency fund to reach hospitals. They came from the
villages of Thma Chruogn, Anlong Thom, Ta Penh, Khkah Khmum and Popel and were suffering
from high blood pressure 1x21, childbirth issues 1x21, rare skin disease, breast surgery, severe burn

lo the Anlong Thom Health Centre was purchased In 2021.
Finally, ADF was also given on regular occasions some clothes by friends to distribute to the poorest
families identified by the team.
d. EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT
The objective is to enhance local school facilities and resources, lo provide 8 favourable educational
environment in Khnong Phnom commune. If appropriate, facilities are buitt to create a conducive
learning environment that entices the children lo come to school 8nd learn, as opposed to s18ying
at home andlor working on the subsistence farms. ADF provide infrastructures according the
teacher's needs.
Reminder.. In February 2018, ADF finalised the Kurere. (for Kulen Rehabilitation and Regeneration)
project, started in late 2016, focusing one sole primary school, corresponding to the needs of the

most neglected primary school of the plateau." Sangke Lak. 11 allowed lo enhan￿d the school
facilities and encouraged good hygiene and environmental practi￿s. The VVISH 1 project started in
June 2018 and evolved into the C-19 WISH project from May until December 20201. It was
continuation of the hygiene activities in Sangke Lak, with an expansion to Khlah Khmum and Ta
Penh primary school (see above.. Hygiene and sanitation program). The TREE 1 project from 2018
10 2020 (funded by Kulara CielEau Kulen mineral water, see below.. environmental program) was
also focusing in Sangke Lak primary school on the field of environmental education with a tree
nursery las well as Ta Penh and Anlong Thom schools).
To reinforce ADF actions and lo answer additional and basic needs in these primary schools
IKhlah Khmum and Sangke Lakl, ADF approached in August 2018 the Soulh-Easl Asian
Foundation ISEAFI, a US charity, lo provide basic missing infrastructures lo other primary schools.
The original project proposal (funding the construction of a single storeroom in September 2018 at
Sangke Lak school) was expanded lo a much larger project ISEAF 11. benefiting the 2 schools of
Sangke Lak1119 students164 gidsl, 5 teachers) and Khlah Khmum school186 students140 girls),
4 teachers). This project started in September 2018 until November 2019 and had seen numerous
buildings, and construction in both school Isee ADF report 20201.
On the 51h of De￿rnber 2019, several meetings were held belween ADF team, the principal of Preah
Ang Thom school and the principals and teachers of Anlong Thom, Ta Penh, Sangke Lak and Khlah
Khmum schools. The objectives of these meetings were to evaluate the existing collaboration
ITREE and VVISH projeclsl and to assess the needs for each school In term of Infraslruclures and
materials. A detail list was established for a further project. On the 14th of January 2020, ADF team
mel the SEAF Director lo discuss further project. It was decided to submit a project in February to
SEAF, including the school's needs identified in December 2019. This project was unfortunately not
funded. It was then decided lo propose it to the swiss NGO Don d'un Choeur bul the global context
of the Pandemic did not allow to fund it.

This project was reviewed, adapted and submitted in February 2021 to SEAF. SEAF aecepled it
and proceeded to the transfer ISEAF 2." 21,738 US $ on the of 9th of March 20211. This project aims
lo build upon the activities started by ADF by providing basic hygiene and learning infraslruclures,
for three primary schools (Sangke Lak, Anlong Thom and Ta Penh), located in Phnom Kulen
National Park. 11 is targeting 5 primary schools (Popel: Khlah Kmum, Sangke Lak, Anlong Thom,
and Ta Penh), with additional minor infrastructures in 2 others (Phum Thmey and Preah Ang Thoml.
English classes and hygiene sessions are also provided.
As per the SEAF 1 project, a participatory approach was developed,. asking to every principal and
teachers what missing infrastructures should be built, with a priority list. ADF team, working in close
collaboration with these teachers and principals, had lo involve, as much as possible and
wherelwhen possible, students, teachers, local communities, lo participate lo these construction
activities, so they can take ownership of the new facilities. The secondary objective is to increase
the quality of education lo the pupils and teachers of the targeted village primary schools.
The pupils and teachers are the direct beneficiaries of the project. This represents 98 children

gardens. In the schools of Ta Penh and Sangke Lak, this involvement was higher with distribution
of equipment, seeds and a technical training. In 2 others schools (Khlah Khmum and Popell, only
seeds were given. These vegetables are associated to the morning breakfast distributed by the
World Food Program in rural areas, and in the case of Khnong Phnom Commune lexcepl Khlah
Khmum village), with the help of PLAN NGO. The school also purchase vegetables from local
producers trained by AGRISUD-ADF team. These activities were very disturbed by the long school
closure in 2021. They will resume and will be implemented form January 2022 onwards. In Ta Penh,

ADF since 2018 (Tree 1 and tree 2 projectsl, this project provides thousands of forest saplings
every year for reforestation operations in Phnom Kulen National Park. The water system set up by
ADF in these schools are providing water to both tree nurseries and hygiene facilities.
These tree nurseries also act as environmental educational tool, as they are managed by the
teachers and students. They are complementary of the WISH 2 project as they bu1￿ awareness

ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM
Environmental and social studies
During the year 2021 and due to the C-19 pandemic, ADF paused ils collaboration with the School
of Fields Studies ISFSI for defining and facilitsting the studies in the Phnom Kulen National Park.
The research collaboration program is focusing on natural resource governance and management,.
livelihoods., and the environment interface. No students were able to come to Cambodia and no
studies were implemented.
ADF kept regular contacts with the Canadian PhD candidates who started their studies related to
Phnom Kulen in 2019 and in particular Ms. Leah Marajh from the University of Toronto, Department
of Geography & Planning. ADF director was solicited for reviewing parts of this academic work.
ADF was also inVo￿ed in the environmental protection by combining data lo the geo-dalabase about
the environmental threats, and by disseminating them to the relevant authorities Iminislry of
Environment, APSARA Authority, District and commune aulhorilies...). ADF continued in 2021 to
integrate in our GIS system all illegal-logging points and re￿ntlY bumed plots of forest for cullivalion
purposes within the Phnom Kulen National Park and has reported them to the Ministry of
Environment IMOEI and APSARA.
ADF team has continued to be one of the main actors to provide information from the field for the
implementation of the Phnom Kulen Management Plan, and the Phnom Kulen action plan both
under the supervision of the MOE, with the assistsnce of UNDP experts.

ect
Reminder.. From June 2018 to August 2020, ADF implemented a 27-month environmental project,
supported by Kulara Water company producing the only mineral water in Cambodia (Eau Kulenl,
based al the bottom Phnom Kulen. The project's goal was to provide young indigenous trees from
tree nurseries lo the Kulara Water company facilities, and for others areas within the Phnom Kulen
National Park IPKNPI selected for reforestation by the Ministry of Environment, the Provincial
Department of Environment and the PKNP management team.
The project's other goal was lo implement a practical environment awareness program for the
students and the teachers of Sangke Lak, Anlong Thom and Ta Penh, village primary schools1584
children and 20 teachers), where the tree nurseries are located. This patticipatory Iree%rowing
project allowed the involvement of the teachers and students from each school including regular
maintenance, manual weeding, transplanting of very small saplings to plastic bags, mixing
components for the plastic bags and planting activities on the plateau. The tree nurseries acted as
educational tools to promote environmental awareness and conservation. Trainings about tree
growing and tree nursery maintenance were given by forestry expert lo all the teachers of the 3
schools. Each tree nurseries were buitt and upgraded on a needed basis with proper tools,
equipment and gravity-fed water systems (also used for water and sanitation facilities in schools),
tree seeds were purchased or collected regularly in forested areas of the park, according lo the bio-
diversity assessment of PKNP12013, Hayes and al.}, allowing lo grow up to 22 different indigenous
tree species. ADF team sel up a table to follow up the quantity of trees species grown up in each
tree nursery over the project length.
During this project, more than 45,700 saplings were grown in the 3 tree nurseries laboul 9,000 tree
saplings were grown in 2018, 13,036 in 2019 and 23,666 in 20201. It has contributed to reforest
63.3 hectares in PKNP. This equates to 2.3 hectares per every month of the project. In most
occasions, the trees produced by ADF tree nurseries were added lo additional saplings from other
tree nurseries, brought lo Kulen, for the reforestation projects sponsored by MoEIPDoE, UNEP or
UNDP. Other smaller reforestations operations were also organyzed by ADF (archaeological siles,
Sour￿$, watershed... l. In some cases, other saplings were sold lo other beneliciaries11,800 trees
were provided and planted in the grounds of the Kulen water facloryl.
Trees were sold by the schools lo the reforestation project and the incomes is given back by ADF
lo each school principal and Is divided as following.. 20 /0 for the maintenance costs of the tree
nurseries, 40'/o for the maintenance and upgrading of the school facilities and material, 40 /0 shared
by the teachers as personal income and incenlivel. In 2019 and 2020, a lotsl of 5,660 US$ was
earned by these 3 schools.
It was a participatory project, including stakeholders from the private sector IKulara Water
companyl, through governmental institutions Iministry of Environmenll, implemented by ADF, a
non-profit and non4Jovernmenlal organizalion with the pupils and te8chers of the three public
schools. During the reforestation process, every fftiny season, a br08der array of partners w8S
associated.
The TREE 1 project was the first long term project addressing environmental awareness and
reforestation in PKNP. It has created a strong dynamic, reinforced by stronger law enforcement

from the MOE and the PDOE, in charge of the park. The availability of trees has pushed the
authorities lo lake actions and to lake over illegally burned plots for reforestation.
With these numerous successes, an extension of the TREE project was submitted lo the Kulara
Water company at the end of August 2020. The company agreed to support the TREE 2, a ￿0-
year project, lo consolidate the successes of the first TREE project.
TREE 2 Pro
ect
The fundamentals of this TREE 2 project are very similar lo the initial TREE 1 project and therefore,
the goal, objectives and activities matrix are similar. However, il includes the main constraints
encountered during the implementation of the TREE 1 project and the recommendations slated in
the final report..
To introduce a field maintenance component employing members of the community to cut the
weeds around the tree saplings planted enabling them to grow and thrive. This activity can also
be done in the previously planted areas. 11 will help defining the loss rale for each reforested
plots and replanting, if necessary.
To maintain and upgrade Iwhere necessaryl the water systems to the three tree nurseries.
To continue the environmental education and awareness of stakeholders, especially pupils and
teachers, building upon the education component of the TREE 1 project.
To better monitor the revenue of each school, to insure their proper maintenance.
To introduce a better monitoring system where trees from ADF tree nurseries can be counted
and localized within each reforeststion activity, to monitor the survival rale of the trees and
replace the dead ones in reforested area.
To diversify as much as possible the tree species but only with trees represented and identified
within the 2013 PKNP bio-diversity survey.
To increase as much as possible, depending on the number of saplings produced, the number
of reforested areas within PKNP, focLJsing on the water calchmenl areas within PKNP. This
depends on the PDOE capacity of re-taking Illegally deforested plots for reforestation. Additional
saplings will also be allocated on demand and according to their species lo Kulara company
compound.
The objectives of the TREE 2 project remain the same".
To grow and nurture indigenous trees that can be planted in priority areas in and around Phnom
Kulen National Park IPKNPI.
To promote the regeneration of the natural forest with indigenous trees of PKNP, restoring the
environment and the resources that 8 thriving environment provides, increasing the amount of
surface water.
To Increase environmental awareness and conservation to the pupils and teachers of the three
targeted village primary schools (Anlong Thom, Ta Penh and Sangke Lakl. The pupils and
teachers will be the direct beneficiaries. The pupil's families and the village communities and
the MOE Park Rangers will be the successive beneficiaries.
The TREE 2 project started on the 19t of September 2020, for 8 two-yeats duration.
Activities and results".
11 Orientate the village school teachers in all aspects of the project outlining roles & responsibilities
and purchase project resources (tree seeds and other tree nursery toolsl.
The accounting system for the project was set up by ADF accounting officer and expenses were
updated on a weekly basis for a better financial monitoring of the project. An introduction meeting
was hold between all teachers involved and ADF team at Anlong Thom school on the 4th of
November 2020 to introduce the TREE 2 project to all stakeholders. Teachers active during the
previous project shared their experiences and talked about the benefits of having tree nurseries
with the new ones and ADF team, exchanging about water issues, benefits, prices. A new system
of percentsge for the benefits of the tree sales was established.. 200/0 for the tree nursery

maintenance, 400/0 for the school maintenance, 40 0/0 for the teachers as an incentive. Previously
the system was divided as such.. 30 0/0 of the income was devoted to the tree nursery maintenance,
30D/o for the school's general maintenance, and 40010 is an incentive for the teachers. The sale of
sapling represents a subslanlial income for each school. For example, Ta Penh primary school was
able lo build in the school compound a meeting sheller.11 was also decided that the cash generated
by the sales of saplings and destinated lo the tree nursery maintenance would be managed by ADF
Ilhird recommendations from the TREE 1 final report). ADF team has set up a planning over the
calendar year, from January to December, lo visualize and monitor the main tasks lo be
implemented by all stakeholders. All project resOUr￿S were purchased and tree nurseries were
included in the daily life of the 3 schools.
21 Continue collecting indigenous tree seeds., Upgrade the tree nurseries al Sangke Lak, Ta Penh
and Anlong Thom primary schools, ensuring they are efficiently and effectively producing strong
healthy saplings,. plant the tree seeds and nurture the tree saplings until they are ready to be
planted into designated areas.
The tree nurseries were upgraded on a needed basis with proper tools, equipment and gravity-fed
water systems. The previous signboards at each tree nursery were changed in 2020, during the first
TREE project, with Eau Kulen and ADF logos. Anlong Thom, Ta Penh and Sangke Lak water
system were designed and sel up during the first TREE project, requiring several hundred-meter-
long buried and connected PVC pipes," collecting, intermediary and storage resetvoirs, providing
water all year long for these tree nurseries. Students and tèachers were strongly involved in their
constructions, so they can take ownership of these water systems.
These water systems also serve the hygiene facilities (toilets, wash baysl built or renovated by ADF
in these 3 schools, and allow the implementation of 8 complementary Hygiene project (WISH
project, funded by Almayuda Fundacion, ongoing since 20181 in 4 primary schools Isangke Lak,
Ta Penh, Khlah Khmum and Popell.
Ta Penh water system from the source to the school was originally included in the first TREE project
proposal. However, the VVISH project was able to fund it, and it was decided that funds from Kulara
Cie for this water system would be used for the setting up of the Anlong Thom tree nursery water
system.
From September 2020 and during the year 2021, only minor fixings were done lo these water
systems and more generally, lo the tree nurseries.. fixing broken pipes for the Sangke Lak Water
system,. arranging the 3 collecting pipes al the Ta Penh source, so they are all at the same level.
ADF team paid a particular attention so each tree nursery and school have a permanent access to
water. During the dry season, this becomes more and more critical due lo climate change and
deforestation. However, the tree nursery water systems are conceived so they can capture and hold
just enough water reserve until the end of the hottest season. Future upgrades could enlarge the
storage capacities as this situation becomes harder to sustain every year, particularly in Ta Penh
and Anlong Thom.
other upgrades were the repla￿ment of a wooden door by a metallic one at Sangke Lak tree
nursery, on the 4th of April 2021, the covering of the vertical upper part of the 3 tree nurseries with
green shade nels, allowing a beller protection from the sun and from the football games, often
played closed lo the tree nurseries.
From April to June 2021, a complementary UNDP funding IUNDP-BESD-PES, see below) allowed
ADF to upgrade the tree nurseries.. 11 low bricks enclosures sealed with cement lo place the
saplings. This facilitate the counting of the trees per species as they are in rows and lines, and
maintain them in a vertical position (see picluresl. Species can now be easily separated and
identified. 21 Smaller similar spa￿S were reserved for seeds to be planted in the ground before
their transplant to the bags (see pictures). 31 additional equipment purchased". wooden posts18 per
tree nursery), green-shade m8terial11 roll per tree nursery), metallic fence130 Kg per tree nursery),
water pipes15 per tree nursery), irrigation tank12 per tree nursery), black plastic bag for young
trees110 Kg per tree nursery), and tree seeds.
Later on, in 2021, other upgrades were implemented. The sprinklers were lowered to facilitate the
water distribution at Anlong Thom tree nursery. The Sangke Lak tree nursery was slightly extended

lo the wesl until the school fence. This tree nursery is the smallest and an additional space was
needed lo store trees once they are big enough lo be planted, before the rainy season. The leaking
water reservoir al Ta Penh was fixed in October 2021. Whites reusable bags given by Fauna in
Focus NGO, as well as about 500 saplings, were introduced in each tree nursery (November 20201
as an allernalive to the black plastic bags. The larger ones were cut and sewed lo obtain several
out of them.
31 Village schoolteachers & children are laught in fvndamenlal aspects of tree planting & tree
growing, nurturing & raising trees.
The trainings organized by ADF and provided by a forestry expert from the Ministry of Forest and
Fisheries in Along Thom (January 20191 and Ta Penh lJanuary 20201 were designed for all the
teachers of the 3 schools, with a technical then a practical session where kids participated. The
seed preparation and the composition of the soil for the plastic bags were greatly improved thanks
lo this training. These recenttrainings did not need to be repeated in 2021. Only advices were asked
by phone lo this trainer on a needed-basis.
ADF has set up two Community-based tourism cenlres ICBTCI in Anlong Thom and Popel villages.
They are managed by the Community Protected areas ICPAI members and offer tourism products
(daily trips with local tour guide and foodl. The Anlong Thom CBTC members have requested to
ADF to set up a forest tree nursery and a vegetable garden. The forest trees can be sold to
Cambodian visitors and allow the centre lo increase ils income11 US$ per tree). The CBTC team
received training from the ADF team on seed collection, pre-treatment, bag preparation for
seedlings and nursery maintenance Ioctober 1# 20201. In addition, the ADF has made its tree
species regISt￿tIon system available to the centre.
41 Village school children have practical lessons in tree cultivation & it becomes part of their school
activities.
The 3 targeted schools have operational tree nurseries growing trees and all children form grade 1
10 6 are participating lo the aclivilies.. planting seeds in plastic bags and transplanting of very small
saplings to bags, mixing components and filling the plastic bags, regular water system maintenance,
manual weeding, manual watering with watering can, when necessary, planting activities on the
plateau. The project is raising environmental awareness for 516 children and 18 teachers from the
3 primary schools 12021 Commune dalal, divided as follows.. 107 children and 5 teachers in Ta
Penh, 98 children and 3 teachers in Sangke Lak and 311 children and 10 teachers in Anlong Thom.
Teachers are leading the activities, with the collaboration of ADF staff. One ADF staff is fully
dedicated lo this project Imr. Yon Sokcheal.
However, 2020 and 2021 were particularly difficult as the C-19 pandemic imposed the closure of all
schools in Cambodia. ADF staff was also more solicited for this task, as teachers and students were
less present al schools during these long closing periods (see dales below). However, some
molivaled school teachers and students kept coming for the regular work lo do in the tree nurseries,
demonstrating their involvement in the process of growing trees for reforestation.
The closure of schools In Phnom Kuken happened during the following periods.. in 2020, from 1Wh
of March lo 7th of September 2020, then from of November 2020 10 111h of January 2020., and
in 2021, from 20￿ of March lo 1st November.
To follow up the quantity of trees grown LJP in each tree nursery over the project, the ADF team
continued lo use the table summarizing important information used during the first TREE project.
This table includes the number of saplings per tree nursery, per species. the English name, the
Khmer name and the scientific name lin Lalinl for each species, the seedling period for each
species, the average price of seeds per Kg per species, the processing time for each tree seeds
species, the average number of seeds per Kg. Thanks to this project, the villagers were aware of
the existence of the t￿e nurseries and 8 network of seed collectors was developed.
51 Indigenous tree saplings are transF)Orted lo designated taryel areas." Kulara Water company
land, PKNP protected areas IAPAS, CPASI or other designated areas of PKNP and trees are

61 Tree site maintenance, employing local villagers lo cut the weeds around the newly planted
young tree saplings in the degraded areas, enabling them lo get the moisture and sunlight they
need to grow and thrive.
As recommended in the final report of the TREE 1 project (recommendations n.51, the maintenan
of the reforested areas was introduced during this second project. This requires the employment of
local villagers as day labour, lo cul the weeds around the small tree saplings planted in the target
areas. This allows to give trees the light and moisture they need, giving them a fighting chanTr lo
grow and develop into mature forest. 11 also allows to better monitoring the reforested areas, the
survival rale of the trees, and eventually to replace the dead ones.
In October 2021, 3.3 ha were maintained12 silesl by 30 workers during 5 days of work. These areas
were planted lo the south of Ta Penh village In July 2020. The Maintenan￿ has shown that the tree
survival rate Is very good and some trees are now between 1,5 10 2 meters high. Other recently
reforested areas will be maintained in 2022.
On the 22na of December 2021, ADF toured a visit from the Kulara Water company team in the three
tree nurseries as well as on reforested 8re8s for a promotion video and pictures.
Po
el CPA
Reminder". There are 5 Community Protected Area ICPAI in Phnom Kulen National Park. Because
of the extension of the cashew nut cullivalion, there are now the only remaining forested area in the
south part of Kulen plateau. They are meant lo be preserved for the benefit of the local population
where they can collect non-timber forest products. ADF is helping the Ministry of Environment and
the committees to protect, maintain and eventually enlarge these CPA.
Since July 2018, ADF worked on the enlargement and the beller protection of the Popel CPA,
thanks lo the financial support of a private donor, Mr. Deroo. The project stsrted in June 2018 with
meetings al local level to introduce the project and by December 2018, the survey of the area was
done Ioclober 20181, including the complete inventory of the cashew nut farms, which will be
inlegraled in the new zone. All stakeholders were aware of the project.. CPA members, local
authorities {Commune and District Chiefj, the Provincial Department of Environment and the
Ministry of Environment.
Originally thought lo be extended lo the south until Siem Reap River, the Popel CPA committee and
villagers have asked lo extend the protected area to the north, in order lo include the O'Thom river
and Its various waterfalls, one of the main Iribularies of the Siem Reap river, downstream from the
main Kulen waterfall. This could bring the new CPA to a lolal of 800 hectsres. The Idea is also to
develop treks for visitors to generate income for the CPA committee, and in the long term. A map
of the proposed extended CPA was produced and about 100 Popel villagers agreed lo support the
project, with a document baring every signature. An assessment of the project by the MOE Phnom
Penh is also planned in early 2019. The project should then have lo be approved by the provincial
(Governor of Siem Reap Province) and national authorities (Minister of Environment).
In 2019, several meeting with CPA members. villagers, MOE and PDOE representatives were
organised to continue this proiect127th February and 7th march 20191. During these months, the
adminislralive process of extending a CPA was ongoing, with approved signatures from villagers,
village chief, commune chief, district chief, Governor of province and departments of the MOE in
Phnom Penh. Surveys were done and maps created lo identify the limit of the future CPA. From
May 2019, this projèct was integrated in the BESD project (see below), funded by UNDP Iuniled
Nation Development Program) and SIDA (the Swedish International Development Agencyl-
In 2020, the last funds due for this project were sent by the donors lo ADF in March 2020, and
integrated within the UNDP-BESD project (see below), within the ADF'S environmental component.
No additional funds were sent from this donor for this project in 2021, as it was finalised in December
2020.

CIRD TREES
As developed in the Income generation IIGllallernative livelihood program (Agriculture alternative
livelihood) chapter above, ADF was approached by the Cambodia Institute for Research and Rural
Development ICIRDI for a collaboration on agriculture alternative livelihood activities at the end of
2020.
CIRD was also interested in funding trees growing from ADF tree nurseries from Anlong Thom,
Sangke Lak and Ta Penh primary schools.
After several discussion be￿een CIRD and ADF representatives, il was decided that the amount
of 3,120 USD provided by CIRD would be dedicated lo a reforestation project, integrated into the
ADF ongoing TREE 2 project developed by ADF in the 3 tree nurseries Ilocated in 3 primary
schools.. Anlong Thom, Sangke Lak and Ta Penh) (see above, environmental component), which
has 3 main goals..
To grow and nurtu￿ indigenous trees that can be planted in priority areas in and around
Phnom Kulen National Park IPKNPI.
To promote the regeneffition of the natural forest with indigenous trees of PKNP, restoring
the environment and the resources that a thriving environment provides, increasing the
amount of surface water.
To increase environmental awareness and conservation to the pupils and teachers of the
three targeted village primary schools.
The transfer from CIRD was done at the very end of 2020, and all these activities were undertaken
in 2021. The funds were used from the 1 St of January 202110 the 31 * of June 202110 purchase the
3,000 trees seeds grown into saplings, additional material (spades, hoes, black plastic bags), to
monitor the growing of the saplings, to maintain the facilities Ipipped water systems, broken taps,
PVC pipes, sprinklers, elc... l and to cover tree plantation costs. A short report was prodU￿d for
CIRD on the 191h of February 2021. The trees purchased by CIRD were planted during the
reforeslalion operations and the rainy season, from June to September 2021, under the supervision
of ADF team and the Provincial Department of Environment IPDOEI, in PKNP.

Reminder.. The UNDP-SIDA (Swedish International Development Agencyl funded project entitled
°Building an Enabling Environment for Sustainable Developmenf, IBESDI was granted lo ADF in
May 2019. The duration of the project was originally 1,5 year from 1 St May 2019 10 31 St December
2020, focusing on Iwo villages (Khlah Khmum and Popell In Phnom Kulen National Park IPKNPI.
These two intedinked projects, Khlah Khmum and Popel Projects, seek to address the deforestation
issues and contributing to the reforeslalion and rehabililalion of PKNP by demarcation and zoning,
by supporting community based natural resources management through alternative and SLJStainable
livelihood options and by supporting for payment for ecosystem services IPESI by setting up a water
system for Popel village, for the benefit of the local population. The overall objectives are to preserve
areas of ecological and archaeological significance, lo promote community based Natural
Resources Management, and to operalionalize Payments of Ecosystem Services IPESI scheme
for PKNP.
Most of the deliverables of both K18h Khmum and Popel projects were achieved from June 2019 to
December 2020. However, a few activities wefft delayed because of the implementation of another
UNDP funded project granted to ADF from September 2020 to May 2021 1 Reforesting & building
COVID-19 resilience for Phnom Kulen National Park's population and Chankran Roy Biodiversity
Corridor or UNDPIC-19 project, see below). ADF also faced delays, particularly in obtaining the
official recognition from the Ministry of Environment for the enlarged Popel CPA, and implementing
the tourism facilities for alternative livelihood in Popel village. In December 2020, ADF therefore
requested to UNDP a non-cost extension of the project until the 3151 of May 2021, in order to
implement the remaining following activities..
For the Klah Khmum project, the following up on the chicken and pig breeders was still ongoing
and required an extension. The number of beneficiaries for the Popel village water system
should also be increased and the Popel Water Committee IPWCI reinforced.

generated to implement the project. Three consultative meetings were also hold during the third
week of June at PDOE, then on 5th of July lin Siem Reap, APSARA Angkor Hotel) during the meeting
about zoning in PKNP, then on 23r4 of August lal Phnom Kulen Ranger stalionl. As a result, the
local authorities and the Ministry of Environment globally endorsed the project, requesting for a
close collaboration during its implemenlalion, lo insure sustainability. These meetings about the
project were held in Khlah Khmum village on the 25 June 2019 and the 6 November 2019 with the
village chief, 48 villagers including 28 women, ADF director, ADF National Manager, PKNP rangers,
2 Police representatives, 2 PDOE representatives, 2 commune council represenlalives. As a result,
these all-inclusive and participatory meetings allowed all parties involved lo share views on the
project and exchange and advantages and inconvenient. All parties have a good knowledge about
every aspects of the project and can share information and request more if necessary.
Meetings were also hold with the Popel CPA members and Khlah Khmum villagers and other key
stakeholders on the allernalive livelihoodl income generation options and APA demarcation. Six
group discussions were held with 5 CPA members, 48 villagers and 16 local authorities. Fruit trees
and black ginger were selected as agricuttural alternative livelih(x)d for Khlah Khmum, as well as

identified to raise pigs and chicken from a meeting in Khlah Khmum village who gathered 54
persons, including 32 women. Discussions were held lo ear the propositions of the communities, to
submit the project and to gel their feedback.
The ADF National Manager implemented the ground coordination of the team and organized the
field verifications for the Protected Area in Khlah Khmum. PDOE staff Irangersl, APSARA workers,
CPA members, chief of 5 CPA, chief of commune, commune council members and village security
staff were associated, on several occasions, to ensure the maximum participation of the local
authorities and local population on the 26th and 27th July and on the 14th of August 2019. The
demarcation was conceived lo follow natural boundary Icliff and streams) or anthropogenic
boundary Ilrailsl, rather than artificial shape. This rule was proven lo be more efficient when ADF
was previously establishing PA in PKNP. Based on the ground verifications, drone images, GPS
coordinates, combined with elevation points, a strategic and logical route for the gravity-fed water
system Can be identified and clearly marked and demarcation of a water catchment and
archaeological protected area IAPAI al Khlah Khmum village.
Protected area In Khlah Khmum
The demarcation of a water catchment and archaeological protected area at Khlah Khmum village
started on the 09th of October 2019. The cement posts were brought on site and a team of rangers
and CPA members s18rted lo install the post on the ground. The preparation of the track surrounding
the protected are8 Was done14th gln 1 Oth of October) and a total of 101 posts were marked from
the 16th lo the 19th of October. Every post is geo-referenced and marked with a legend I"Prasat
Krohom and O Soe source protected area" in Khmer) and 8 number. An average of 70 meter
separate each post. A clear tmek is now surrounding the protected area, were posts were placed
and red paint marks on the trees were painted. In 2020, 4 informative signboards were set up al the
entrance of the zone on the main tracks and one in the village.
In 2021, the ADF pushed for the official ratification of this PA by the Ministry of Environment, into a
Community Protected Area ICPAI, eventually managed by the Khlah Khmum CPA members Ichup
Ta Sokl and within the general zoning of PKNP. ADF and PDOE were closely involved in this process
lo make sure that this new PA will be included into the protected areas of the PKNP. However, this
step depends on the administrative prO￿$S of PKNP zoning, which is complex and has been
ongoing for years now.
The patrolling activities were delegated and supervised by PDOE and the PKNP management team.
The patrols are organised in 2 different teams, on specific areas within PKNP. These areas are
designated by the PKNP management team and change over the course of the year, according to
the Infomialion collected and illegal activities suspected. The team of rangers is divided In 2 groups..
a first group with 15 rangers is patrolling for 5 days, 2 times per month., the second group with 6
rangers Is patrolling for 3 days, 1 time per month. During the last phase of the project, ADF has
worked in close collaboration with PDOE and the rangers to patrol this area. During these patrols in
April and May 2021, one Illegal logger was caught next lo the post n.1 of the PA and was given a
waming. Patrols were performed from the 5th to the Ph April, 8th 10 111h April, 1 Ph to 20th April, 19th

ADF and PDOE. jointly with the Popel community members and local authorities have conducted a
study on drinking water harvesting and water distribution in Popel village. More than 8 rangers and
3 persons from PDOE, 5 CPA members and 1 village chief participated lo these surveys. Popel
Water actual situation was surveyed and discussed on several occasions on 251h of June, 251h and

functioning because the associated reservoir was broken. ADF original plan was lo bring water from
O'srae dyke, 3 Km northeast of Popel village. However, the surveys conducted by all stakeholders
indicated that this point was 1 Om lower than the village. Numerous other sources were surveyed
bul all appeared to be higher and the only higher source was dry. Surveys on water sources
indicated that the only solution was to pump water to a high location in Popel village (primary
school), using an existing solar panel fvnded by SGP. The water would be then distributed with
network of pipes and water meters per household.
This solution is requiring maintenance costs. Consecutively, ADF national Manager and PDOE staff
suggested setting up a Popel water management committee, in charge by village chief and CPA
chief.
The implementation of a water system for Popel Village started on the 08th October 2019 to mid-
December 2019. The topography of the area with the altitudes and the entire system was carefully
studied beft)re implementation. After surveys, all sources appear to be lower than the village.,
therefore, a gravity-fed system was impossible to set up. Items from the existing system including
a solar panel and black rigid pipes (from 000 local NGO not functioning system) were reused for
this project. A first reservoir (comprising 15 cement ring wells on a slab) was built by a source and
filled by gravity. A pump was installed in it, so water can be pumped to a second reservoir. The
pump is functioning thanks to the solar panel that was brought from the village lo that location and
a small hut Was built nearby to protect the electric facilities and a generator, used as a secondary
device in case of failure of the solar system. The black rigid pipe lunused by the previous project)
was used to connect the two reservoirs, 700 meters away from the reservoir n. 1 1620 m in straight
line). This pipe was buried to protect them from degradation (vandalism, roaming animals... l. The
second reservoir was built al the highest location in the village, opposite the Popel primary school.
There is 20 meters difference of allilude between the reservoir 1 and 2. This second reservoir was
built with 14 cement ring wells on a slab. From this reservoir 2, a 49 mm diameter PVC pipe was
installed and buried in the village on 831 m section, going through Popel village. This pipe is fed by
gravity, as the reservoir 2 is on the highest location of the village.
Villagers can connect lo this pipe by requiring a water meter lo the village chief. Villagers will pay
the pipes leading lo their house, if they want lo connect lo the water system. A water management
committee was sel up and in charge of collecting the money and lo insure its proper maintenance.
The objective is lo manage the system when il is operational, and lo collect the fee from households
lo maintain the system. Fee was sel up at 1500 riels per cubic meler11000 rielslO,375 US$ for the
first 3 months). On the total amount collected, it was agreed that 20 0/0 is allocated for the
maintenance the water system, 20 0/0 for committee, and 600/0 incentive for committee members.
In 2020, the Popel Village water system instslled was functioning. An additional donation from Dr.
Lisa Arensen family and friends of USD $ 960 was made on the 19th of May 2020 10 increase the
capacity of the recently built water holding tanks at Popel village, opposite the primary school. 13
additional ring wells were installed In June 202016 at the lower reservoir and 7 al the higher one).
This represents a total of 14,700 Iilres for each of the two reservoirs, with a total of 29,400 lilres for
both reservoirs.
As in December 2020, the Popel water system was providing water to 27 families1130 population,
66 Female) and the primary school 193 students, inclLJding 43 girls plus 4 teachers, temporary
closed due lo Covid 19 pandemic). Another 10 families are also collecting water from the reservoir
n.2, bringing their own water container. The total of these families is therefore 37, including 88
females and 3 widows.
During Ihe18St phase of this BESD project (Dec. 2020 to May 20211, and even though 8 durable
and functioning water system was installed in Popel Village during the first phase of this project,
ADF has reorganised the Popel village Water committee IPWCI to connect a maximum of families
in Popel village 197 households, 404 persons including 204 women), by mobilising the water
committee and encouraging families to connect their houses lo the main pipe.
Several meetings were hold between ADF team and the water committee11 Olh and 17th of march
and in May 20211 to remind the roles and responsibilities of each members and to ensure the proper
management of the system. The PWC is pla￿d under the authority of the Khnong Phnom

As in 3151 May 2021, the Popel water system was providing water to 28 families1127 persons and
65 Female) and the primary school198 students, including 42 girls, 4 teachers, closed from 30th of
November 2020 to 11th of January 2021, due to Covid 19 crisis). The school was also connected
as ADF started the hygiene and sanitation program in this school in January 2021 (WISH 2 project,
see above). ADF has doubled the water storage capacities in Popel primary school by building
additional reservoirs in march 2021 with funds from SEAF foundation ISEAF 2 project, see above).
Another 10 families150 persons including 29 femalel are also collecting water directly and free of
harge from the reservoir n.2 (bringing their own water container to a lapl as these households are
located higher than this reservoir. The total of these families is therefore 38, including 94 females
and 3 widows.
However, this objective is limited by the lèngth of the pipe along the road where households can be
connected. This pipe, due lo limited budget, does not reach the western part of the villages. Also,
the reservoir n.2 should be extended lo provide a sufficient storage for this increased number of
households. Additional funding could allow lo develop the project further lo the wesl in the village.
In the future, the main points to follow up are to convince the PWC to extend the number of
beneficiaries (sometimes reticent to payl and to ensure that the committee is properly managing
the collected funds (from the connected households) and the PWC expenditures for the
Maintenan￿ ofthe system.
Alternative livelihood
Additional agricultural allernalive livelihood directly funded by the UNDP-BESD were built upon this
ADF project. To prepare this phase, a second meeting hold on the 6th of November 2019 has
identified a total of additional 25 families where 17 have expressed the will to raise pigs, and 8 have
expressed the will lo raise chicken. On the 8th of January 2020, an additional meeting was organised
lo exchange with the villagers and from the 9th lo the 11th of March 2020, a training was organised
by ADF and AGRISUD where only 13 families were finally interested in implementing these
activities. As of December 2020, 2 families were raising chickens and 11 are raising pigs. Out of
these 13 families, 8 women lincluding 5 widows) are in charge of these raising activities, all of them
raising pigs. This represents a total 95 persons 150 of them female) and more than 33°k of the
household village populalion1303 persons) affected by the new protected area.
As of 31 St of May 2021, 18 families benefited from alternative livelihood options offered by the
project. Among them, 2 families were successfully raising chickens and 16 were raising pigs. Out
of these 18 families, 13 women (including 5 widowsl are in charge of these raising activities, all of
them raising pigs. During the implementation of the project, one chicken raiser slopped as he
decided to leave lo Thailand bul one family decided to start breeding chicken.
After the initial training, AGRISUD and ADF team provided a continuous follow up on these
activities. ADF alternative livelihood team implemented this component by selecting families,
checking and advising for the necessary infrastructures (small shelters and fence, built over a slab
for the pigslchickensl, facilitating the purchasing of the piglets. ADF and AGRISUD team monitored
these households on a weekly basis. In case of sickness, the team provided medicine lo cure the
pigs.
A contract was drafted and signed with each family. 11 slipulales that every beneficiary musl follow
the guidelines related to the training, musl cooperate and work closely according to the planning

lake care of their animals, and allow visit when required. The same principles were applied lo the
BESDIPES project (see below).
Geslalion of pigs is usually 115 days13 months and 25 days). The families raised pig successfully.
Incomes from pig are quite significant for a family as they can sell each pig al 100 US$ per head.
The average income per family for the families raising pigs in KK depends of the outcome for each
pig raiser. For the 11 families raising pigs in 2020, 4 of them received a first income equivalent to
2400 US$ Iselling PriTr 100 US$ each baby pigl, as they were 24 piglets born and sold, 4 more pig
raisers did not gel piglet yel as the pig did not grow well and did not gel pregnant. Another 3 families
encountered issues with piglets dying at young age. For 2 of these families, the project funded them
again. 4 additional families started lo raise piglets in 2021 and did not gel incomes yet at the end of
the project. ADF team continued lo monitor and train these beneficiaries after the end of the project.
For the chicken beneficiaries, the 2 families implementing this activity have eaten their own
production and sold 20 chickens, for a lolal of go US$ (selling price at 5 US$ per Kg). These
alternative livelihoods activities represent complementary incomes for the families. Results are
obtained on a long term, making sure the beneficiaries are trained well enough and are able lo be
self-sufficient.
From June 2019, ADF also offered alternative livelihood options to 19 families from Khlah Khmum
village, together with AGRISUD Intemational". 3 families growing fruit trees, 16 families growing
black ginger out of a total of 60 households Isee above, agriculture allern8tive livelihoods).
This component Was reinforced by the UNDP additional funding IPES-March lo June 2021, please
see details below), complementing this project. One of the 2 areas selected for this project was the
Khlah Khmum protected area. After ADF and PDOE surveys, the reforestation areas were selected
together with the Khlah Khmum villagers who could benefit from additional alternative livelihoods
Ipig and chicken raising, fruit trees and black ginger growing). Within this project, 7 additional
families were identified and agreed to give back their land with a reforestation activity and altemative
livelihood Ipig raising exclusively).
For the UNDP IBESD and PES project), the total number of beneficiaries in Khlah Khmum village
is 24 households including 18 females. This represents 37 Ok of the households in Khlah Khmum
village165 families for a total of 312 persons, including 155 females," Commune data, 1# of February

the rich archaeological heritage of the PKNP by proposing livelihood options pertaining to the
expansion of Prey Thom Popel CPA within Govt partners, CPA members, relevant stakeholders
and Popel villagers1379 persons, 89 households., Ministry of Interior, 20171.
After an appraisal on environment friendly sustainable livelihood and eco-tourism, income
generation options, a study on drinking water and water distribution in Popel village should be
undertaken. It should include the finalizalion of the extension of the Prey Thom Popel CPA
demarcation (see Popel CPA project, abovel, lo include O'Thom River, one of the main tributaries
of Siem Reap River on the Phnom Kulen plateau, as ils secondary waterfalls represent great assets
for the development of eco-tourism in this CPA. 11 should also reinforce the capacities of CPA
members, PKNP rangers and other key stakeholders for the management of the Prey Thom Popel
CPA.
The last phase is to develop alternative livelihood options, based on eco-tourism services, and to
finalize the gravity-fed water system for Popel village, which is facing water distribution issues. The
integration of the ancient reservoir and related local watershed in the protected area (Khlah Khmum
proiectl should ensure the protection of the forest cover, enabling to provide permanent water to
the walershed-linked village of Popel.

This CPA extension project was started in 2018 with funds from an ADF private donor (see Popel
CPA project above). This UNDP project allowed the reinforcement of this first initiative, adding an
allernalive livelihood component and the setting up of a water system for Popel village.
A meeting was held on the 24th of June 2019 al Preah Ang Thom commune office with 18 persons..
ADF director, ADF Development Manager, ADF National Manager, Commune chief, Commune
council, village chief of Popel and Khlah Khmum, Popel CPA members, rangers, 2 PDOE
representative and Svay Leu district representative, Heritage Police representative, lo present and

consultations were also hold during the third week of June 2019 al PDOE, then on the 5th of July
2019 lin Siem Reap, APSARA Angkor Hotel) during the meeting about zoning in PKNP, then on the
23rd of August 2019 lal Phnom Kulen Ranger stalionl.
The official request for the expansion of Popel CPA was followed up by ADF National Manager at
every administrative level Icommune, District, Province, Ministryl from June 2018 to December
2019 and Is waiting ft)r the approval of the Minister of Environment.
A participatory consultation meeting with the affected farmers for the expansion of Prey Thom Popel
CPA," seeking sustainable livelihood options such as eco-tourism, income generation activities was
held in Popel village on the 24th of June 2019 with village chief, villagers, ADF director, ADF National
Manager, ADF National Manager, rangers, PDOE representative.
After meetings with 47 villagers from Popel population, it appears that an eco-tourism through 8
community-based organization was largely preferred as atternative livelihood l income generation
activity. Previous inquiries and meeting organized by ADF in late 2018 (within the Popel CPA
project, see above) have received the support of 96 villagers lout of 219 persons over 18 years old
from Popell, to support the enlargement of the existing CPA and the alternative livelihood options
with an eco-tourism orientation.
The large majority of the Popel villagers and CPA members has approved the idea of benefiting
from tourism through the setting up of tracks, facilities and a communily-based organizalion for the
extended CPA. The extended CPA could include non-visited waterfalls. This requires the setting up
of tracks, rest hul and home stays, managed by a newly created community-based tourism
organization, comprising the CPA committee. These activities were undertaken within this project,
from January 2020.
The map of the extended CPA was finalized, and all 66 cashew nut famers identified. The result
shows that 450/0 of them are living in Preah Ang Thom, 41 Q/0 are living in Popel. The population from
Preah Ang Thom is mostly living from tourism at the waterfall sile, and is not originally from Phnom
Kulen. This proposed extended CPA zone Is consistent with the Phnom Kulen Management plan
and the Phnom Kulen Action plan, seeking alternatives to deforestation with incomes generated
activities through eco-tourism, and the demarcation of protected areas within the boundaries of the
park. It Is also in line with the Cambodian PA laws, as the process of extending the Popel CPA, has
been Strict￿ complying with the CPA guidelines issued by the MOE.
Extension and demarcation of Po
el CPA
The expansion of Popel CPA was approved and signed by the Minister of Environment and other
represenlalives, in a new praka on the 19th of October 2020. The ADF and PDOE teams organised
the demarcation which started on the 21th of October 2020 by the clearing of the surrounding track
by CPA members. From November 2nd until November 23rd 2020, 170 geo-referen￿d and marked
cement posts were installed by the Popel CPA members, under the supervision of 2 rangers and
ADF national manager. The result is an enlaryed CPA of 798 ha. 3 informative signboards were
designed and placed at strategic locations. The removal of the old CPA signboards and cement
posts was requested lo the MOE which replied it was not necessary. However, ADF will ask again
in the future, as il is confusing to leave this information to the public and villagers.

Alternative livelihoods
During the early phase of the project (under the sole Popel project funded by Mr. Deroo, see above),
the local community ICPA members and villagers) requested eco-tourism options as an alternative
livelihood, when the demarcation of the CPA was considered. The Popel CPA I Prey Thom") and
the 4 non-visiled secondary waterfalls could be encompassed into an enlarged Prey Thom Popel
CPA and were identified as sources of incomes via eco-tourism services.
The combined UNDP-BESD and Popel project allowed lo implement this with a clear demarcation
ofthe CPA and capacity building of CPA members. Surveys with ADF team and CPA members lo
identify potential areas for eco-tourism facilities Iboulders, forest, secondary walerfallsl were
undertaken trom April to December 2020, with complementary surveys in January and February
2021, inside the existing Prey Thom Popel CPA bul also in areas encompassed into the enlarged
Popel CPA.
Eco-tourism facilities were defined be￿een CPA members, ADF and PDOE and sel up..

20201, trekking route traced Imax 1 m width) from one waterfall lo the other and according lo the
defined tours, linked to the existing 'Nalure trails" established in 2015 by the PDOE and the Popel
CPA. The homestays initially considered were not chosen as a viable option as villagers preferred
a Community cenlre. The Popel CBTC was built on a land donated by the Popel village chief, along
the main road of Popel village. The construction started from August until December 2020 but was
slow down by the heavy rains in October. 11 was completed by a water reservoir in eady December
2020. In May and June 2021, ADF completed this infrastructure with the construction of kitchen.
Materials for this were funded by UNDP and day labour was funded by HUMY NGO, a
complementsry donor for this project (see Humy 1 project above).
All informative material to be presented in this centre were designed by ADF team from August to
October 2020. They were printed and sel up after the centre was fully completed (January 20211.
They are similar to the ones in Anlong Thom CBTC., minor modifications were made Ipicluresl and
the texts were adapted for the Popel context.

UNDP-PES
ect
In April 2021, UNDP completed the BESD project with additional funding to ADF {UNDP-PESI and
it was slightly re-oriented towards PES related aclivilies.
11 The Iirsl activity was intending lo gel a partnership agreement for PES financing for PKNP, such
as private sector companies taking resources form PKNP and to create a CBTC PES fund and
if possible, a provincial PES sub-accounl.
ADF conducted a short study on the 12 companies or activities extracting natural resources directly
form Phnom Kulen National Park. A dislincl report was prepared and is in annex of this final report.
This report gives details about the exa¢l location of each company with a location map, and its
activity. A list of 18 high standard hotels and resorts, generalty promoting the environmental
protection, was also proposed. Due to lime constraint and the Covid outbreak in Cambodia
(including lock down and curfew), Il was not possible lo organize meetings and to gel any
agreements signed. However, the potential payers are identified and they could be apprtsached to
be convinced in participating in the PES project, in a next phase.
21 The second activity was to deliver a monitoring report of forest eover and land use of two
selected areas.
ADF prepared a monitoring report on the forest Cover changes and land use (with maps and
legends) on both selected areas". Khlah Khmum PA and Popel CPA, both areas being either
extended or created by the BESD project. The calculation of forested areas, cashew nut farms,
grass and shrub areas were done by analysing several satellite pictures of these 2 zones over the
year 2019, 2020 and 2021, the project being implemented between these years. Polygons were
added lo each type of land use on ArcGIS software and areas were calculated. Overall, the forest
cover does not show changes over these 3 years, the cashew nut farms integrated inside the 2 PA
being still maintained and harvested.
31 The third activity was sub-divided into..
a. Conducting consultations on livelihood option pertaining to the reforeslalion of 2 watershed
areas within cashew nul farms with Anlong Thom villagers, Govt partners, PA members,
relevant stakeholders in PKNP.
The project was introduced lo the local authorities during meetings hold in May 2021 at Preah Ang
Thom commune offiTr. ADF team, commune staff, PDOE and 2 villages chiets (Anlong Thom And
Khlah Khmuml were present.
b. Holding discussions with the affected farmers for the reforestation of 1 watershed area
within cashew nut farms with Anlong Thom villagers and Khlah Khmum villagers and other
key stakeholders seeking alternative livelihoodl income generation options derived from
the participatory meeting described In the above aclivily.
Surveys were done after in the farms next to the springs and all Information were collected. Some
of the villagers were participating lo these surveys. The 2 pre-selected watershed areas for the
project were Spien Pring (south of Anlong Thom villagel and O'srae, Inside the Khlah Khmum PA,
north of Khlah Khmum village.
For Anlong Thom village and al Spien Pring, 5 families agreed to give back their land for
reforestation, lotalizing more than 5 ha. 18ddilional family from Anlong Thom agreed and another
land w8s added in the pmeess (Veal Sambourl, about 2 ha.
For Khlah Khmum village, and after numerous surveys and discussions with vi118gers, 7 families
agreed to give back their land al O'srae for reforestation.
The total of the 2 areas is 20,9 ha". 8,3 ha for Spien Pring and Ve81 Sambo and 12,6 h8 for O, s￿e.
The total for the 2 areas involved 13 families. The original objective of 30 families was not achieved

The circumstances IC-19 outbreak) and the reticence of the villagers to give back their land were
the 2 main difficulties to overcome for ADF team. With a longer lime, additional farmers could have
been reached for an agreement lo give their land back for reforestation, with an alternative livelihood
activity as a compensation. However, this project showed that the formula works an should be
developed in the future.
To continue reinforcing the cash-for work project IBESD-C191 to maintain the reforested
areas in PKNP and CRBC Iwilhin the BESD-C19 or previously reforested in PKNP, see C-

The cash for work was used lo pay workers who prepared, planted and maintained the reforested
areas within the PES project.
g. To develop and support the existing tree nurseries set up by ADF and supported by Eau
KulenlKulara Water company, and run by Anlong Thom, Sangke Lak and Ta Penh primary
schools, students and teachers, in order to get additional seedlings for the target area of
this proiecl.
The 3 ADFIEau Kulen tree nurseries in Sangke Lak, Ta Penh and Anlong Thom primary schools
were UF￿rade with lines of bricks sealed with cement to maintain the saplings bags in order and in
lines. Species can now be easily separated and identified. Small extensions, used temporarily when
the tree nurseries are full and before the first plantations, were being built. Additional material was
purchased.. wooden posts 18 per tree nursery), green-shade material 11 roll per tree nursery).

To purchase equipment11 computer) and office supplies.
One computer and office supplies were purchased by ADF admin. and finance manager, according
to regulations.
To ensure the maintenance of equipment Imotorbikesl.
The maintenance of equipment Imotorbikesl was done regularly during the project to allow the best
implementation of the project.
Overall, the UNDP-BESD-PES allowed a few lessons learnt:
The selling up of a water system is definitely a plus for Popel village. Its management is under
the authority of the Popel Water committee members, under the supervision and authority of
the local authorities (Commune, Police) in case of conflicts. Such a system could also be
integrated in the Commune and District Development plan, and developed and replicated to
other PKNP villages, if any similar projects are considered.
Existing water systems are never maintained and inevitably break, unless beneficiaries are
charyes for water and a committee is managing it. Charging for water a low price allows the
committee lo tske ownership and responsibilities of such water system, whereas free water
systems do not belong to anyone and malevolent persons tend to connect themselves belmeen
the source and the main reservoirs, depriving water beneficiaries below the distribution
reservoir.
Capacity and knowledge building with key stakeholders have greatly increased, for example
using drone and GPS technology has amplified the project partner's ability to beller manage
the PA IPKNP rangers, CPA membersl. This has helped the implementation of the BESD I
UNDP project. However, further capacity building in future projects, particularly lo the CPA
members, is recommended.
More environmental projects, linking the benefit of forest prolectionlregeneration and villager's
general health and income Ibuild on the success of this BESD projecll, would be extremely
beneficial lo maintain the key stakeholder's enthusiasm and lo maintain the bonds betsveen the
implemenlalion partners.
An extension of the BESD project duration would have been positive, due to the unforeseen
global pandemic of COVID 19, which has slightly delayed some of the project's activities,
particularly in March and April 2020, when large meetings were not permitted.

Communities in PKNP can benefit from allernalive livelihood options that are environmentally
friendly such as eco-tourism for Popel CPA. However, they are still farmers, and cashew nul is
still their main source of income. To minimize this, ADF is precisely and in the framework of this
project, proposing eco-friendly agriculture options such as black ginger, fruit trees, pig and
chicken raising in Khlah Khmum village. Changing destructive agricultures practices lo new
behaviour was the most challenging aspect of this project as the process is very long. Bringing
in the PES concept would be a way lo change the villager's behaviour.
A global approach, combining environmentally friendly alternative livelihoods and demarcationl
law enforcement, is requiod to stop the trend of deforestation and better protect PKNP forest,
as well as to build environmental awareness and enhance the economic development for the
benefit of the local population.
The PES approach was developed towards seveol families in Anlong Thom and Khlah Khmum
villages and beneficiaries were keen to give their cullivaled plots for the reforestation, in
exchange of an alternative livelihood activity (exclusively pig raising). This is an encouraging
resu￿ and il shows this concept can be developed in the future.
Approaching private partners for PES implementation require a longer time and has been
extremely challenging during the C19 pandemic. A continuation of the project would help to
finalize this first phase and to approach a maximum of targeted companies extraction resources
from PKNP.

Reminder..
Another project was granted from UNDP lo ADF in 2020.. 'Reforesting & building COVID-19
resilien￿ for Phnom Kulen National Park's population and Chankran Roy Biodiversity Corridorf,.
The purpose of the grant was lo reforest and to build COVID-19 resilience for Phnom Kulen National
Park's population and Chankran Roy Biodiversity Corridor in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia.
PKNP has one of the few remaining evergreen forest areas in the northern region of Cambodia,
with a majority of forest cover consisting of evergreen and semi evergreen forest, combined with
small patches of deciduous diplerocarp forest. In 2017, the UNDP land use study of the park
eslimaled that ils forest cover could be estimated lo 20 10 23°/o, Ifrom 7300 to 8500 hal. The
deforestation of PKNP is mostly due to the extension of the cashew nut cultivation on the Kulen
plateau, population growth and encroachments In the lowlands. In the remaining part of forest, large
lo middle size tree are subject to illegal logging. PKNP has an essential hydrological significance,
at the Sour￿ of the regional watershed.
ect
The Ministry of Environment and the PDOE in charge of the park, have still insufficient financial and
human resources lo monitor, manage and to enforce the environmental laws that govern and
prole¢l the national park. The local population has limited to no knowledge of the environmental
laws and the importance forest protection. environmentsl preservation, and the efferts of
deforestation on water catchment and climate change. The Covid 19 crisis has a serious impact to
the low-income communities of PKNP. This project would bring addition81 cash lo these struggling
populations.
The absence of well-defined and cohesive park management, zoning and demarcation and law
enforcement has contributed lo the destruction of thè forest. The approved Phnom Kulen National
Park Management Program and Action Plan, 12018-20221, under the leadership of the Ministry of
Environment IMOEI, are aiming to tackle the identified issues. This project IBESD 21 is in direct line
with these milestones, documents.

Im lemenled activities
The original project was planned from the 1# of September to the 31# of December 2020. However,
due to the late first transfer from UNDP and the heavy fftins slowing down the project's
implementation, it was extended at no cost until the 31* of May 2021. The report of this project
presents the results from 2020, completed with the 2021 activities and results.
Sile assessments
Several sile assessments were undertaken for the 2 selected sites for this project (Phnom Kulen
National Park {PKNP} and Chankran Roy Biodiversity Corridor {CRBC} lor Community Forestry,
{CF}I, through obsetvalion of re￿nI satellites images and field visits. These assessments were
done in August and September 2020, prior lo the reception of the funds into ADFIEnvironmenl
account lon the 25th of September 20201 and continued in PKNP in October. They were done by
the ADF national manager and the PDOE staff, including rangers of PKNP.
In PKNP, the field verification and risks assessment on biodiversity focused on degraded plots of
young forest, illegally cul and burn in 2018 and 2019 by local farmers. Since 2019, the PDOE and
the PKNP authorities have warned the population that slash and bum agriculture is no longer

permitted and that every plot illegally deforested using this technique should be seized for
reforeslalion.
The deforestation of PKNP is due to this slash and burn practice for cashew nul faming, usually
corresponding lo one of two hectares per plot. Large surfaces for reforestation are usually not
existing bul fragmented into several of these illegally farmed areas. This means the surveys are
longer, the access lo these plots are often problematic as they are disseminated in multiples areas
with small access tracks and the transportation of saplings requires several rounds trips.
After observation of satellite images and additional field verilicalion by PKNP staff and rangers, a
selection of these recently deforested plots was established, priorilizing the local watersheds
Istreams and river banks) and water sources. The reforestation of these areas will mitigate the soil
erosion and flash floods, and will help lo maintsin surface water and regenerate the aquifer. The
area selected for reforestation are completely deforested and only present high grasses growing.
In CRBC, the field assessment was done in conjunction with the Community Forestry leader, CF
members and PKNP rangers, selecting bmo separated area on 11.5 and 17.1 hectares within the
CRBC. These two areas appeared as forested on the recent satellite Images. However. they were
recommended by the CF team as they were previously burn a few years ago12016, 20171. As a
result, the large trees died and field assessments and field verification Indicated that they were
overed with grass and low vegetation. A third area of 10.2 hectares was selected after a meeting
hold be￿een CF members, ADF and PdoE staff and PKNP rangers.
Beneficiaries selection and arran
emenl.
The beneficiary's selection was done after several meetings.
For PKNP, two meetings were organized on the 24th of September and on the 61h of October 2020,
at the Phnom Kulen Preah Ang Thom ranger station. On the 10th of October, another meeting w8S
organized al the Phnom Kulen Preah Ang Thom ranger station lo comfort the beneficiary list. A
field survey was done afterwards until night lime lo assess the selected areas lo reforest. A last
meeting was organized on the day after (Sunday 111n of October) lo finalize the fi'ndings of the
previous meetings and surveys and sel up the action plan.
For CBRC, two meetings were organized on the 2nd of October at the Varin District hall and on the
9th October 2020, al the Srey Noy commune hall. In both occasions, the deputy governor of Varin
district, Mr. Both Vibol was the chairman).
All meetings were following UNDP criteria for this project. These meeting gathered the ADF Director
and National Manager, the PDOE Director and staff, rangers of PKNP, the local authorities (Districts
deputies of Varin and Svay Leu districts, commune chiets and village chietsl, the CF chief and
members ofCRBC and the Community Protected Areas ICPAI chief and members in PKNP.
The entire project involved the populations from one commune in Svay Leu district (Khnong
Phnom) and 5 communes in Varin district ILovea Krang, Srey Noy, Svay Saa, Prasat, Varinl.
These meetings presented the project lo all parties involved and helped to determine the respective
roles and responsibilities. For the PKNP area, il was decided that the national park rangers would
survey the areas and that the village chiefs would provide the list of people Corresponding to the
project criteria. For CRBC, il was decided that the local authorities would help lo detemiine the
identity of the beneficiaries corresponding to the project criteria and that the CF team would
determine the area to select for reforestation.
In both target areas, a draft list of beneficiaries was reqLJesled from the local authorities taking into
account the level of vulnerability and the criteria for engaging workers in the cash for work project..
people who lost Iheirjobs in cities and neighbouring countries due lo the ongoing COVID-19 crises,
local people who directly or indirectly Impacted by the COVID-19 through losing of jobs or income
in the tourism sector, households that have returnees, including local migrant members, local
people who are classified as poor members in the village or commune with holding ID poor 1 and
2 labels, members ofCPA or Community Forest communities, women headed households, and an
additional criterion was added by the commune chief." the poor villagers with no ID label yet, but
sanctioned by the commune chief.
For the criteria conceming the local people who are classified as poor members with holding ID
poor 1 and 2 labels, ADF and PDOE could not always quantify this parameter as.. some beneficiaries

not come leven if we announced this opportunilyl as they have no transportation ways to reach the
plantation areas. These problems happened in both target areas.. PKNP and CRBC and for both
reforestation and maintenance operations.
For the C-19 affected criteria, the people from these rural areas have seasonal employments, when
they have one, and are most of the time farmers. Therefore, it was not possible lo quantify these
criteria, in the limited amount of lime we had. Due to time constraint, ADF was not able lo record
the women headed household criteria. However, the difference of sex was recorded for each
beneficiary during the project.
These lists of payment were signed and stamped by the commune chiefs involved for PKNP
and CRBC, the representative of PDOE or ADF, and the Director of the Provincial Department of
Environment.
ADF, in collaboration with the local authorities, has organized village meetings in Popel village on
the 6th of October 2020 inviting people In the draft list and key community people to participate.
Due to time conslrainl, no other meeting was organized In PKNPIKhnong Phnom commune. For
the CRBC, meetings were organEed by the Varin Distri¢l and the commune chiefs, notably al the
Srey Noy commune hall, and at the CF station by the FC team lo inform the population about the
project. Villagers were briefed about the project objectives and activities including payments they
an receive and they were explained about selection criteria as listed above for selecting cash for
work participants.
Due to time constraint, ADFIPDOE was not able to send the final list and submit it lo UNDP for
review and endorsement prior to kick off the field activity implementation. The funds were received
3 weeks after the official starting date of the project 11" of September 20201, on the 251h of
September 2020. Due to this delay, the land preparation had to be done quickly and workers for
this task were selected according the UNDP criteri8.
Dissemination and awareness raisin
reforested areas..
These meetings were also giving the occasion lo disseminate and bring awareness on
reforestation. Every reforested area has been mapped and each map is presented on each
signboard. The signboards for each reforested area were designed and sel up from the 26th of
November lo the 3rd of December 2020. Each signboard presents a title in Khmer I"Reforeslation"

activities in PKNP, if a selected area is located in the vicinity of this tree nursery. A quolalion from
each potential tree provider was done comparing the prI￿S of purchasing saplings and

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
As requested by UNDP, ADF and PDOE continued the reforeststion activities until the 15th
November 2020 as the rain stopped. The objective of ADFIMoEIPDoE was to reforest 48 to 55
hectares in total. At the end of 2020, 54.2 hectares were planted with 36,000 saplings. ADF and
PDOE considered that the objectives were reached and that the remaining funds should be allocated
lo implement the maintenance operations for the reforested areas, during the coming month.
The non-cosl extension was agreed in December 2020. The maintenance operations of the planted
areas already stared in November 2020 (see below). They were able to be continued from January
2021, until the end of the project in May 2021. Due to the low survival rate in PKNP ￿fOrested
areas, ADF requested to UNDP to use some of the remaining budget for maintenance to purchase
sapling, in order to replant saplings in the plots where the survival rate was low12 areas next lo
Sangke Lak village, 1 area next lo Anlong Thom village).
36,000 trees were planted in the Nvo selected areas.. 12,000 {+3912 additional for replacement) in
PKNP and 24,000 in CRBC. These operations, including land preparation and plantation involved
1336 persons in 2020, including 685 women151.270AI. For 2021, 155 were involved in preparation
and plantation, all in corresponding lo the UNDP criteria for this project.
Weedin
of reforested areas
Due to the late start of this project, this activity has started in December 2020 until May 2021, as
the non-cost extension was approved by UNDP. C-19 affected workers and CF members were hired
on a ￿gUlar basis lo clear goss re-growing around each tree, insuring a better survival rate. Regular
surveys and patrols of the reforested areas were implemented by ADF and PDOE staff together with
the PKNP rangers and the CF members.
Due to the high numbers of trees planted in a limited amount of days (for example, 18,000 trees
planted in only IMO days in CRBCI, the tree planting cash for work funds were not fully spent.
Maintenance operations started from the 1 St of November 2020 in CRBC. In CRBC, a wood slick
was installed next lo each planted tree and grass cleared 129-301h of October 20201. This is
facilitating the future clearing of grass as trees will be easily visible with these markers.
Maintenance started on the 12th of November In PKNP and continued on the 1 P, 2151 22nd 23rd
241h 25th 26th 301h and 1 St of December, in both target area, with a large number of participants.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic risks, the Maintenan￿ had to stop after this dale.
The Maintenan￿ operations consisted in placing a wood stick next lo each planted tree Ilo spot
easily the tree in the grown grass during the next maintenance phase), weeding, watering if water
was available closely and, In some cases, digging around the tree, lo sel up a circular dike to relain
water.
During the period covering December 2020 to 31￿ of May 2021, the maintenance operations took
place at the following dates.. In CRBC it was started in January 2W, 30th 31￿ and 1* of February
2021. 11 was resumed on the 23rd 24th 25th February 2021, then again 3 days from the 25th 10 27th

191n of May to 22nd of May 2021.
All maintenance operations took place under the responsibility of ADF and PKNP rangers.
Maintenance operations continued with the same sequence, from the 1st of December 2020 to the
31st of May 2021.
In CRBC, 276 persons were involved in these maintenance activities, including 138 females, 138
head of families, 28 CF members, 1 disable and 25 widows. In PKNP, 287 persons were involved
in these maintenances and planting aclivilies, including 167 females, 144 head of families, 9 CPA
members and 59 widows. For the PKNP, these figures combine the number of participants

of the beneficiaries was validated by the Khnong Phnom Commune Council for the PKNP reforested
areas and by the Community Forestry in CRBC, respecting the UNDP criteria.
A visit lo the Phum Thmey reforested area in PKNP was done during the visit of UNDP and SIDA
represenlalives on the 24th of February 2021, while the maintenance operation was undertaken.
The visit was interrupted because of the C-19 outbreak in Phnom Penh and the visit scheduled for
the 251h of February 2021 in CRBC was cancelled. An additional visit by UNDP team look place on
the 21st of May 2021 in CRBC.

In 2020, patrolling of the reforested areas was stsrted in CRBC only. It was started in January 2021
in PKNP. The regular surveys of the different reforested areas were implemented by ADF and PDOE
staff, together with the PKNP rangers and the CF members.
The survival rates for the different reforested areas were the following.. 900/0 alive in Chankran roy
lin the 3 areas)., in PKNP14 areas).. Phum Thmey area -40010, Sangke Lak 1 and 2 areas-100/0,
AnlongThom area-1 OQkn. The low sutvival rale in PKNP is due to 11 Late plantation in PKNP and
lack of rain (whereas there were a few late rains in Chankran Roy) 21 the villagers were still
cullivaling the reforested areas Iwilh beans) while trees were planted. They might be responsible
for the loss of trees. PDOE IPKNP rangersl and ADF monitored the situation with the farmers of
these 3 locations with a low rate of survival110°knl. An agreement was concluded lon the 3rd of April
20211 with 1 farmer lal Sangke Lakl, slating that the trees Iplanled forest trees and young cashew
null should be preserved in this particular area. The farmers who illegalty cut plots of forested area
Ifor slash and burn cullivalion then cashew nut farming) were employed by the project for their
reforestation and maintenance. No other agreements were signed with the farmers of the other low
survival rale areas, as they all agreed lo give back these deforested plots. This has ensured that
the reforested areas were well maintained. The weeding of these areas has also prevented fire to
destroy these newly reforested areas.
The patrolling 8Ctivities were implemented in April and May 2021, when the villagers are usually
cutting forest for the slash and burn agriculture. ADF and PDOE teams selected the areas to be
patrolled in PKNP. Each area was georefèrenced and given a name corresponding lo the high point,
a stream, or a rock formation. They include 34 ￿ngers, divided in 7 groups. The patrols look place
during 3 to 4 days, from the 5th to Fn of April, from the 81n lo 11th of April, from 1 Ph lo 20th of April,
from the 191n to 21 $1 of April, 22nd to 25th of April 2021. In May 2021, they look place from the 91h to
121h from the 1 Olh to 13th
and from the 12lh to 151n of May 2021.
The rangers have stopped illegal wood cutting and transportation, confiscated hunting weapons
and animal traps, educated the persons they caught, marked dozens of trees with the letler'Don't"
Icul the Ireel. During, these patrols, 7 persons were taken into court by PDOE staff through the
legal procedure and are wailing for a judgment.
The maintenance operations have started from November and December 2020 in the reforested
areas using the remaining tree planting cash for work funds as well as the Maintenan￿ and
patrolling funds. The non-cost extension for this project, focusing on the maintenance and the
patrolling activities during the next 5 months lfrom January to May 20211 was approved in December
2020. 11 has ensured a better survival rale of the planted trees, prevent grass fires during the dry
season, and allow to involve more beneficiaries. The Maintenan￿ and patrolling budget were used
for this.
The funds not used for reforestation were reallocated to the maintenance of the reforested areas.
The financial report and the budget lines were redefined accordingly, in concertation and with the
agreement of the UNDP team.
Coordination with GDANCP and be￿een PDOE ADF local authorities and CF
The GDANCP staff was supposed to oversight the planting aclivilies. However, and due to time
constraints, ADF and PDOE had to start the reforestation activities urgently. ADF and PDOE will

require their visit during the maintenance operations, in order to present the entire project in both
areas IPKNP and CRBCI.
The PDOE staff coordination and support was ensured by one staff from PDOE, with the help of the
Park director and the deputy park director Imostly for meetings, surveys and logistic), and involved
more than 40 rangers.
The ADF staff coordination and support was done by the ADF Director and ADF National Manager
who attended launching meetings in PKNP, Varin and CRBC. ADF National Manager is in charge
of the implementation of the project together with the staff from PDOE. ADF Accounting and
Administration officer was in charge of recording every expense, making sure all budget lines were
not overspent and finalizing the financial reports.
During the entire project, there was a regular coordination be￿een PDOE-ADF and UNDP lo adapt
the project to the evolving circumstances. For example, the ADF team have requested lo use some
of the remaining maintenance funds to purchase trees to allow reforestation where the survival rale
was low IPKNPI.
The UNDP-C.19 project, originally scheduled to end on the 31* of De￿mber 2020, was extended
until the 3131 of May 2021 with the weeding of the reforested areas and regular monitoring and
forest fire prevention. This delay with no additional funds was mostly due lo the late transfer of the
funds and the heavy rains in October 2020, slowing down all activities.
Overall results
There were 189911336 in 2020 and 563 in 20211 selected COVID-19 affected andlor vulnerable
people selecled152,21 D/0 of women) for this project. The objective of 690 was laryely ex￿eded as
1899 persons benefilled from the project. These lists were sent by ADFIPDOE lo UNDP as
supporting documents, together with the receipts.
Mobile transfer was not practically possible as not every villager has mobile phone and cash
withdraw offices are not easily accessible nor existing for workers in the 2 selected areas. 11
signboards were set up for each location and at strategic locations for both target areas.
54.2 ha of degraded areas were reforested trees with almost 40,000 trees planted.
The 2 maintenance programs lo protect the tree growth was sel up and defined in January 2021,
after the second trench was transferred from UNDP to ADF. The maintenance program of the 2
areas IPKNP and CRBCI was undertaken every month (ex￿pt April 2021 because of C-19
lockdown), for 3 to 7 days.
Four monitoring reports1151h of November 2020, 30th of November 2020, 181h of February 2021,
3011 of March 20211 were sent lo UNDP as well as and 1 final report at the completion of the project.
Risks analysis for the project with their corresponding mitigation measures were done and
submilled lo UNDP.
Overall, the UNDP-C-19 allowed a few lessons learnt:
Funds for the implementation of the project should not be transferred too late after the signing
of the LVGA belween the parties, particularly when the project involves reforestation activities
al the end of the rainy season.
Reforeslalion activities should be undertaken al the beginning or al the mid-term of the rainy
season rather than al the end. This would ensure a maximum rainfall for the planted trees and
an easier access lo the areas lo be prepared and reforested. Some of the reforested areas
were extremely difficult to access due lo heavy rains in October 2020 and the process of
bringing the saplings was slow down.
Reforeslalion in PKNP is sometimes problematic as the land selected is not completely retaken
by the govemment IMoE-PDoEI. The use of the plots, even though for illegal farming, is often
claimed by the villagers. An adminislralive procedure, quite often long, is necessary lo
guaontee that the villagers are officially ready and agree lo give up the plot for reforestation.

TRUSTEE'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
This procedure is not preventing reforestation activities bul il should be anticipated, particularly
during the dry season, so the land can be available for reforeslalion during the rainy season.
Reforested areas can sometimes be used by famiers to cultivate crops. This can also explain
the low survival rates in some reforested areas in PKNP. A better communication and
engagement between the PKNP rangers and the farmers should be initiated before
reforestation happen. A stronger involvement of the farmer's family for the reforeststion and
maintenance activities should be considered.
Payment by Wing or other similar ways for workers should not be considered as a payment
solution for these villagers. The wilhdow offices are not easily accessible for these remote
areas. Additionally, they do not a￿ayS have smart phone and even though, they are not familiar
with these ways of payments. The payment of every workers through these transfers would
have required additional time to leach them how lo gel paid through this way. Due lo time
constraint, il was not possible.
The geneol budget should include some budget lines for the transporiation of saplings and
material to support the tree planting and maintenance.
Reforestation activities
others than the UNDP-C19
Reminder.. Since 2015, ADF participated and facilitated several activities related lo tree planting
activities in PKNP.. selection of the area to be planted, organisalion and logistic on the field, design
of signboards, plantation, mobilisalion of person to plant. As an example, 23 hectares were planted
with 31,200 saplings in 2019 within PKNP. ADF also combined the list of all replanted area from
2015 10 2019 in PKNP. The total of saplings planted reaches 241,500 for 97.5 hectares during this
5-year period.
In 2020, this lotsl figure was largely expended due to the UNDP-C.19 project Isee above). The total
number of reforested hectares, including the ones form the UNDP-C.19 project, reached almost 90
hectares. 87,100 trees were planted in 32 different locations.
In 2021, within the UNDP-BESD, 20,9 hectares were planted within cashew nul farms (see above,
UNDP-BESD project). 6,8 additional hectares were planted in 3 different locations with a lolal of
5,600 trees lincluding 3000 trees on 2,5 hectares within the Popel CPA thanks lo the CIRD project,
see above). Apart from the UNDP-C-19 projecl12020-20211, 27,7 hectares were therefore planted
in 2021 in PKNP.
These combined figLJres include projects in which ADF was the main actor, and projects were PDOE
was the main implementing partner. A large majority of these projects have been supported by
UNDP.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustee of Archaeology and Development Foundation ('the Charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustee on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** 

As the Trustee of the Charity (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustee in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustee those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustee for my work or for this report.

**ARCHAEOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION** 

## **(A Company Limited by Guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1. General information** 

Archaeology and Development Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered office address and place of business is 25 Brooks Mews, London, W1K 4DZ. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Archaeology and Development Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

## **2.2 Going concern** 

The Charity is in the main reliant on donations and the support of related parties to meet its running costs. Due to the nature of its activities, the majority of the Charity's expenditure is incurred directly on charitable projects and so the Charity is able to control its direct charitable expenditure based upon the level of donation income that it has received and the anticipated ongoing support of related parties. 

The Trustee considers it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis on the assumption that sufficient incoming resources will be generated to meet the Charity's running costs. The financial statements do not include any adjustment which would result if there were insufficient funds available in respect of the Charity's operations. 

## **2.3 Donations and gifts** 

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Donations and gifts are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. 

## **2.4 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset�s use. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.4 Expenditure (continued)** 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## **2.5 Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 

## **2.6 Foreign currencies** 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. 

Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets costing £200 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. 

Depreciation is provided on the following bases: 

- Freehold property over 10 years straight line Motor vehicles - 25% straight line - Office equipment 33.33% straight line 

## **2.8 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **2.9 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.10 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

## **2.11 Financial instruments** 

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **2.12 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustee in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
