Contribution of Open Data to the Protection of Indigenous People’s Livelihood, Land Security and Natural Resource Sustainability

The overall objective of this paper is to follow up on the research that aims to understand how indigenous communities’statistics have been widely used in development projects in Cambodia. The specific objectives of this proposal will update data on indigenous peoples in Cambodia to make them more specific and accurate. The data will then provide a stronger basis for development planning and allow better situation analysis of indigenous people’s needs around current and future projects. Moreover, the study will call for a collaboration and contribution from both local and international organizations and donor agencies that are interested, for both data contributions and funding support.
