Landless woman benefits from social land concession in Cambodia

Chey Pen, 57, received a house and land in Boeung Pram, a village in Batambang province, as part of a 2011 Cambodian government social land concession to demobilized soldiers and other landless families. Here she carries rice she has harvested on land she had to rent from other residents, because beneficiaries of the program have yet to receive title to any significant amount of agricultural land. Life with Dignity and Dan Church Aid, both members of the ACT Alliance, have assisted community members and local authorities in Boeung Pram as they carry out the social land concession.
