The NGO community notes with respect the progress of the Royal Government in Cambodia since the last Consultative Group Meeting and highlights some important achievements:
  • The commune election date is set for 3 February 2002, following the promulgation of the commune administration law and commune council election law. 
  • The Governance Action Plan (GAP) was approved in March 2001 by the Council of Ministers and will be used to help monitor progress in governance reforms.
  • The Council of Land Policy was established to develop a comprehensive Land Policy Framework. A revised draft land law is with the National Assembly awaiting debate.
  • A new fisheries law is currently being drafted and a sub-decree on establishment of community fisheries is being developed in consultation with local communities. 
  • The Cambodian Mine Action Authority (CMAA) was set up to coordinate and regulate mine action.
