The Cambodian government has earmarked USD 100 million to finalize nationwide land registration by 2029, underscoring its commitment to addressing longstanding land disputes. PM Samdech Hun Manet announced the initiative during the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning, and Construction’s annual review and planning ceremony on 26 November 2024.

The comprehensive plan aims to train over 5,000 officials to expedite nationwide land surveys, ensuring citizens can fully utilize their land by the 2029 deadline.

As of 19 November 2024, around 3,144,485 plots of land, representing 66.19% of the total, have been registered, leaving 1,605,522 plots, or 33.81%, yet to be measured.

Further progress has been achieved in the past year. Between 1 November 2023 and 30 October 2024, the ministry issued 1,034,624 state land registration cards and 44 special cards. In addition, it plans to issue 4,423 cards for land adjacent to archaeological sites in Siem Reap and Bakong temples, along with 24 cards for the state, represented by the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts.

To date, Cambodia has successfully registered over 7.7 million land plots nationwide. The Ministry anticipates completing the remaining plots by 2025. The initiative also focuses on registering state land, indigenous community land, and land associated with Buddhist pagodas. (Read more)
