Book Design Consultant

  1. Background:

Phnom Penh based Sahmakum Teang Tnaut (‘STT’) was set up in September 2005 and officially registered with the Ministry of Interior in December 2006. ‘Teang Tnaut’ means ‘Sugar Palm Leaf’ in Khmer and is used for house construction, thatch roofs, sugar and packaging. This icon of the Cambodian landscape evokes a simplicity and usefulness which STT tries to reflect in its work with urban communities. From the outset STT has had a focus on infrastructure upgrading but over the past decade many communities have been impacted by development-related land alienation and evictions. Because of this STT has strengthened its research and advocacy to draw attention to a development policy that in Phnom Penh alone has led to 270,000 residents being displaced since 1990.  By supporting genuine community complaints and grievances STT and its partners have been helping communities articulate their concerns to local and international media, donors and other NGOs & INGOs.

In 2016-2018, STT implements a Project Human Right Based Spatial Planning(HRBSP II) that it is joint project with other three organization People in Need, Urban Poor Women Development, and Open Institute, which funded by the European Union and Czech Development Cooperation for Democracy and Human Right. The objective of project is to contribute to the development and consolidation of the rule of law and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in Cambodia, through strengthening tenure security, the right to adequate housing and disaster risk reduction. This project also includes conducting Phnom Penh Survey that leaded by STT.

In 2017, STT has conducted the Phnom Penh survey on urban poor communities in Phnom Penh, which collected new data and updated information previously collated and published in the 2014 Phnom Penh Survey. The report will be updated current and accurate maps of the urban poor settlements’ locations as well as present both findings and recommendations for key stakeholders. The research will be a useful tool for evidence based advocacy for urban poor communities, NGOs, donors, policy makers as well as government bodies.

At the final, the report paper will be published in this 2018. To easy read and attract from reader on professional of publishing report, STT needs designer to design Phnom Penh Survey 2017 report both Khmer and English by using Adobe Indesign.
