Case Study

The Kreung, Tampoeun, Phnong and Jarai peoples of northeast Cambodia bordering Vietnam have experienced violence, discrimination and dislocation from their land over the last 60 years. This has happened during several civil and external conflicts in the region. 

Caritas partner Development and Partnership in Action (DPA) Cambodia has worked with these communities to help the process of resettlement in their ancestral villages. DPA accompanies these communities in the long process of healing – working to repair and restore the social, cultural and economic fabric of the country damaged by years of war and displacement.
