data from four large-scale surveys to better understand current land issues. Topics covered
by the paper include patterns of land acquisition; land tenure and land ownership; the
magnitude of land transactions in the market; trends in the availability of benefits derived
from common property resources; the incidence of land concentration and landlessness;
and the relationship between gender- and land-related issues. The study also considered
implications for future policy.

Toshiyasu Kato, Jeffrey A. Kaplan, Chan Sophal and Real Sopheap (May 2000)
This independent study, which was commissioned by the Asian Development Bank
(ADB), considers how to promote good governance for sustainable development in
Cambodia. It entailed extensive consultations and interviews with many people from
the Royal Government of Cambodia, the National Assembly, the Senate, the Judiciary,
the media, businesses, civil society organisations and donor agencies. The analysis and
findings from the study contribute insights for policy makers and identify key areas and
strategies of assistance for ADB and other donors to consider.
