National Authority for Sambor Prei Kuk, Cambodia

OCM Field Projects

Organization: National Authority for Sambor Prei Kuk 

Country: Cambodia 

Year: 2023

Sustainability aspiration 

National Authority for Sambor Prei Kuk, Cambodia

The National Authority for Sambor Prei Kuk aims to support the local community by building capacity for the different values and livelihood opportunities related to this World Heritage Site, promoting local products, and conserving traditional skills to enhance visitor engagement and sustainable tourism. As a result, local people's income will be sustainably increased through their traditional lifestyle and heritage-related skills and products, including farming, fishing, weaving and handicrafts. This will, in turn, reduce the exodus of Sambor community members in search of better livelihood opportunities.   

In this OCM field project, the National Authority for Sambor Prei Kuk has placed a strong emphasis on the Sambor community. The project has partnered with public and private sector organizations, including local schools and tourism operators, to integrate the Sambor community as a key element for sustainable tourism at the site. The project's initiatives, such as raising awareness among the local youth about the significance of their heritage, employing local craftspeople and artisans for site maintenance, and facilitating intergenerational knowledge and skills transfer, all revolve around the Sambor community. This focus on the Sambor community underscores the project's local impact and its commitment to community involvement.        

This field project aligns with the UN Agenda 2030 goals to provide equal access to quality (vocational) education, promote beneficial and sustainable tourism, and establish knowledge-sharing and cooperation partnerships at regional and international levels.
