Choam Chao Sangkat, Cambodia
Choam Chao at a Glance:
Choam Chao is one of the cities that have chosen a project from Indonesia as a best practice example. The successful relocation of street vendors into a disused market area in Solo, which led to the revitalisation of the old market, inspired Choam Chao to make their own old market more attractive to locals and tourists alike while at the same time solving the problem of unregulated street vendors.
After a very informative and useful study tour to Solo in July 2011, the implementation of the activities is in full swing by now. The two coaches worked intensely with the task force and helped them in their talks with street vendors, landowners and village authorities to review progress and find solutions to obstacles. During a recent meeting, attended by all stakeholders, including market operators, street vendors, local residents, factory and landowners,an agreement was reached on how to best manage the relocation.All the formalities to extend the market by erecting a new building have been arranged by now, and the actual construction can begin!
