Oxfam in Cambodia 145d ago

Short version, 7min 11sec Fair for All (F4A) is a five-year project funded by the Government of Netherland, led by Oxfam and implemented by six partners including Cambodian Agricultural Workers Federation, Cooperation Committee for Cambodia, Farmer and Nature Net Association, Nature Life Cambodia, SILAKA and the NGO Forum on Cambodia. Through the project, we strategically convened diverse stakeholders to address systemic challenges in the banana and rubber value chains. Through national dialogues and grassroots engagement, the project elevated the concerns of agricultural workers, prompting government commitments to strengthen labor protections and enforce social security laws. These efforts culminated in renewed inspections and oversight by the National Social Security Fund, signaling a shift toward greater accountability and worker welfare. F4A also championed access to justice by supporting new procedures that allow individual workers to file complaints and seek resolution through formal mediation and arbitration channels. This advancement ensures that workplace grievances are addressed fairly and transparently, reinforcing the rights of agricultural laborers across six provinces including Kampot, Kampong Cham, Tboung Khmum, Kratie, Stung Treng and Ratanakiri. The project’s influence extended to civic engagement, where it fostered constructive dialogue between communities and authorities. By surfacing local issues at the national level, F4A helped catalyze policy responses and institutional commitments to more responsive governance. Its work on responsible investment and land rights further deepened stakeholder understanding of inclusive, conflict-sensitive practices, laying the groundwork for more equitable development.
