There are some communes where
women have no experience yet in
road construction. LBAT training
may be conducted in areas where
most of the women have no
experience yet road construction.
Contractors and the commune
council, and supported by the
PDRDS/SEO should have open
communication so that more
women will be given the

organized by ADB-CARM on 5 July 2012 on
the LGAP targets and activities including
use of local unskilled labor
Time: Year 2012
- It was found that women workers were hired
from villages near by construction site,
except cooks they followed their husband
from other provinces and some contractors
have used their own mobile unskilled
workers. It mean men workers been trained
and will move with company.

3.3. Contractors will uphold the Core Labor
Standards, including not employing
child labor
Responsibility: MoWRAM
- Based on the site visit and interviewed with
site managers, it shown that an average
percentage of unskilled women labor hired
for the subprojects CW1, CW2, CW9,
CW10/11, CW12 is 36 % (75 unskilled
female workers were hired out of 209
workers).
- In construction work female workers are
responsible for collecting stone for slope
protection, grass planting, steel assembly,
transport concrete, cleaning site and do
supplementary work like cooking and
washing.
No child labor found during the visits
- Based on the result of site visits and
an interview with site managers, it
shown that some site mangers
known and some don’t know about
gender requirement in the loan
agreement.
- Some Project contractors are not
yet oriented on the LGAP during the
project implementing
- Lack of communication between
constructors and local authority for
mobilizing unskilled workers
- In some places, it is hard to find
women
participated
in
the
construction work because most of
unskilled women are migration to
Phnom Penh or to Thailand for job
because the labor cost earned from
construction work is low and short
time.

Time: Year 2012
There is slightly different payment between
male and female worker (15,000 riel and
17,000 riel/day). Different payment because
of different responsible between 2 of them,
example: female workers only collect stone
and put in bags than men workers will
carried those bags to the site. Explained by
the site managers.
- Only 4 out of 9 sub-projects have formed
FWUCs. The rest will be formed after
construction is completed. In the 4 FWUCs
only 3.15% of women participated in the
committee ( 3 female out of 107 members of
FWUCs ) .
- It was found that females workers
who are providing breast feeding to
their child were allowed to stop
early and start a bit late.
- It was also found that in the site
there is no toilet build due to nature
of work is not long in one place and
always moved..
-
Reasons why less women in the
FWUCs because it is a voluntary
work.
- FWUCs did not follow an action
plan. Group meeting always
delayed.
- Knowledge of FWUCs members
on gender is limited. They needs
more help

Responsibility: Each Ministries (MRD,
MPWT, MoWRAM)
Time: Year 2012
 During the stage 2 implementation, the
project has hired one national social and
gender consultant intermittently to monitor
the implementation of LGAP, provide
capacity building to PIUs, and prepare the
progress of LGAP implementation.
 During stage 2 and 3 of project
implementation, MRD has engaged one
international social development and
safeguard expert intermittently and one
national labor and gender specialist
intermittently from second quarter of 2012 to
third quarter of 2014.
 Similarly MoWRAM has engaged one
national labor and gender specialist
intermittently from third quarter 2012 to first
quarter 2015.
 Though gender specialist were recruited for
the MRD and MoWRAM respectively, the
overall, timeframe of their service input is
very short (2 person-month) relative to the
whole project cycle from 2012 to 2015. In
this regards, it this suggested that the
ministries assign experience staff to assist in
monitoring LGAP implementation, or the
length of their service input should be
readjusted.


Involvement of the SEO and
PDRD in LGAP monitoring is
imperative to ensure the
contractors’ compliance of the
LGAP and loan covenants.
MRD: The consultant (national
labor and gender specialist’s time
for monitoring LGAP is very
limited). Only very few project
areas/rural roads could be
monitored. Even time to orient the
PDRD on LGAP monitoring is
limited. The time for consultation
with the local community residents/
leaders about LGAP
implementation is also too short.
MPWT & MoWRAM: Gender focal
persons wee oriented on LGAP

 For MPWT, an international environment
specialist will help the gender focal person in
LGAP monitor during her assignment.

Time: Year 2012
 The SEO/MRD were oriented on the new
LGAP Monitoring form (with Khmer
translation), the PDRDs and Engineers
involved in project monitoring to gather sexdisaggregated data.
 PDRDs/SEO Officers were provided a copy
of the new LGAP Monitoring form during the
Orientation/training conducted on 19 June
2012 and 05 July 2012, and field
visits/orientation conducted by the KCI/MRD
consultants in 5 provinces with FDERP on
20-22 June 2012 (with the SEO officers)
 Based on the field visit on 18-20 to MPWT &
MoWRAM, it was observed that unskilled
women were hired to work at the
construction sites and sex-disaggregated
data was collected by PIUs and
constructors.
In progress
MRD:
 The PDRDs and the SEO need to
be given time to fill-in the required
information with sex-disaggregated
data (based on the LGAP
monitoring template).
 Hands on training will be of great
help. The national labor and
gender specialist could assist the
PDRDs in the next monitoring
period.

Challenges in Implementing the LGAP:
MRD:
o Majority of the participants attended consultations meeting are men. In the commune/village councils, the officers are predominantly
men. Women’s involvement during consultation meetings is essential as we could ask them directly about their perception about
the project, their willingness to work in the road reconstruction project, what support (e.g. LBAT Training). It is also an “empowering
experience” for women to participate during meetings, and above all to have access to information that the consultants (with the
SEO/PDRDs) disseminate to the communes/project areas.
MoWRAM
o Less women participate in the FWUCs
o Understanding of constructors on gender concept is still limited
o Lack of communication between constructors and local authority for mobilizing unskilled workers
MPWT
o During wet season, most people especially women are busy with farm works, hence, there is less available unskilled workers that
can be hired for the project. On the other hand, there is also limited work that can be done during rainy season (August-October).
Attaining the 30% women in the unskilled labor is quite difficult.
Recommendations
MRD:
There is a need to sustain conducting stakeholders’ consultations, and encourage more women to attend meetings; conduct focus group
discussions with women; conduct LBAT if most of the women in the project areas do not have or have limited work experience in road
reconstruction projects. There is also a need to orient commune/village councils, contractors, PDRDs, and other technical people the
importance of gender mainstreaming; orient them on the LGAP (activities and targets), etc.
MoWRAM:
- For new mandate 2015 the FWUCs selected process should be separated between men and women candidates to ensure women
candidate will be selected.
- An orientation of LGAP must be broadly to constructors who win the bidding process
MPWT:
-
Project Contractors should be well-oriented on LGAP on the commencement of the construction works. MPWT Project Manager
should remind the Project Contractors to closely coordinate with the Gender Focal Person relative to LGAP Implementation.
Budget should be allocated for Gender Monitoring Activities such as field visits, hiring of National Gender Specialist to provide
