Equitable Cambodia is a national leader in advocating for the protection and defense of housing, land, and natural resource rights in Cambodia.
Our organization was established in 2012 to enhance and safeguard the rights of all Cambodians from a protracted land-grabbing crisis that has seen nearly 14 percent of the country’s land transferred from small-scale food producers and indigenous peoples into the hands of agro-industrial firms. These practices have left thousands of Cambodians displaced from their sources of economic livelihood and subject to human rights abuses.
Through policy research, advocacy at the national and international level, coalition-building and community organizing, EC endeavors to transform the land and economic development practices of the country into a model that respects, protects, and fulfills the human rights of the Cambodian people.
EC accomplishes its goals through three dynamic programs, each striving toward our vision of a Cambodia in which all people are able to enjoy their basic human rights and natural resources are managed sustainably for the common good.
