Project Name: Improving indigenous community food security

1. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

Pir Thnu commune, located in Snoul district in Kratie province, consists of

6,716 people (3370 females) from 1427 households. In comparison with

other communes in Snoul district, the number of poor households in Pir

Thnu was notably high. The commune data in 2010 showed that (419

(39%) was classified as the first poor and 283 (26.4%) as the second poor).

Eighty percent of the people in the commune mainly rely on agriculture

production for their livelihoods.

The people in the commune faced the issues of low agriculture product

yield as a result of animal disease, lack of appropriate techniques; lack of

soil quality and this cause them food insecurity. The 2010 commune data

illustrated that in the commune only 1.85 tons of rice yield per hectare

was produced. Fifty percent of the rice yield produced in the communities

lower than the one with appropriate technique application. Traditional

methods of rice cultivation have been identified as a key barrier to

increasing rice yield.

To address these community issues, the organization which is operating in

two provinces of Stung Treng and Mondulkiri province extended its target

area to work in Pir Thnu commune in Snoul district, Kratie province,

proposing project activities to dress the issues above.

3. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The project implementation will also be supervised by donors, based on

regular local communication and coordination and personal visits to the

project area. Ongoing technical monitoring of project activities will be

conducted by organization staff on a monthly basis. This involves

facilitating review meetings with relevant community groups, partner

organizations and the project team, as well as field visit to project

recipients to ensure that activities are being implemented professionally

and are aligned with meeting project objectives.

After completion of the project, the project team will organize a project

reflection workshop to listen and seek recommendations from the target

communities for the project’s next phase. The program team will be

responsible for leading the reflection of the program. The results will also

be used to determine the impact of the program.

Monitoring activities will include, but is not limited to:

Training staff on indicators and monitoring;

Monthly/semester/annual reports with staff observations relating

directly to project indicators; and

Field monitoring and meetings with management staff.
