Nea Nhan

Program Coordinator of Highlanders Association Ratanakiri, Highlanders Association
Cambodia
Nea is the program coordinator at Highlanders Association and is overseeing a project called “Good Governance and Human Rights”. The project ensures the needs of the Indigenous people are met and help them to develop advocacy strategies. The project has three components – 1) Environment and Development Watch, 2) Community Organizing Project, and 3) Information and Resource. Furthermore, Highlanders Association is currently dealing with two cases and they are mining and rubber plantation projects in Northeast Cambodia. Nea’s role is to build solidarity amongst the Indigenous people from the region and encourage them to negotiate terms and conditions with companies who are operating in these projects. Nea is seeking to gain more knowledge on UNDRIP and hopes to transfer this knowledge onto the Indigenous people and the affected communities. He would also like to incorporate this in workshops, trainings, and village meetings.
