Cambodia Designates Lva Village in Battambang Province as Key Model Village

In a significant step toward rural development, the Cambodian government has designated Lva village in Battambang province as a key model village. This initiative aims to enhance local living standards and promote sustainable development in rural areas.

On 3 March 2025, His Excellency Chhay Rithsen, Minister of Rural Development, led a delegation to inspect Lva village in Lva commune, Bavel district. This inspection followed a request from the Battambang Provincial Department of Rural Development, eager to transform Lva into a model for other villages across the country.

Located on 564 hectares, Lva village comprises 64 hectares of agricultural land, over 1 hectare of community space, and 460 hectares of residential land. The village is home to 369 houses, accommodating 616 families. The infrastructure in Lva is robust, featuring a school, a health centre, a market, a multipurpose community centre, a network of roads, and three canals spanning a total of 2.6 kilometres. Furthermore, its proximity to the Mongkol Borey River ensures a steady water supply, enabling local farmers to cultivate rice multiple times a year.

The Ministry of Rural Development has ambitious plans to develop at least 50 model villages annually between 2025 and 2028, targeting areas with indigenous communities and other villages showing potential. This initiative aims to increase the total number of model villages in Cambodia to 230 by 2028. (Read more)

Model village development is viewed by the ministry as a crucial intervention strategy, directly addressing the basic needs of families and communities in rural areas. The focus is on improving the quality of life in economic, social, and cultural dimensions, offering a blueprint for sustainable rural prosperity.

As Lva village sets out on this path of transformation, it stands as a beacon of hope and a model for other communities across Cambodia.
