The Government of Cambodia has officially announced the successful completion of a systematic land survey in Kampong Speu province, which has surveyed a total of 1,088,095 parcels of land. This significant milestone was celebrated during a ceremony chaired by His Excellency, Deputy Prime Minister Hun Many and His Excellency, Deputy Prime Minister Say Sam Al.

The systematic survey, concluded on December 15, 2024, is a crucial step towards enhancing land management and ownership clarity in the region. According to Mr. Kang Vannaro, Deputy Governor of Kampong Speu province, the province contains an estimated 1,100,910 parcels of land, meaning nearly all have now been surveyed.

As a result of this initiative, the government has issued a total of 59,953 property ownership certificates across 92 villages, 13 communes-sangkats, and 7 cities-districts within the province. The breakdown of certificates issued by district reveals the significant reach of this program: Baseth District received 11,086 certificates for 17 villages and 1 commune; Kong Pisey District saw 9,801 certificates for 15 villages and 2 communes; Phnom Sruoch District issued 5,790 certificates for 7 villages and 2 communes; Samrong Tong District provided 4,872 certificates for 8 villages and 2 communes; Thpong District awarded 10,383 certificates for 19 villages and 3 communes; Oudong Mechey City distributed 11,626 certificates for 14 villages and 1 sangkat; and Samaki Monichey District granted 6,395 certificates for 12 villages and 2 communes.

This achievement is part of Cambodia’s broader land registration initiative, which has now encompassed over 7.7 million plots, with approximately 1.5 million plots still pending registration. The Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction is optimistic about completing this remaining work soon, further solidifying property rights and enhancing land governance throughout the country.
