Citizens Engaged in Environmental Justice for All  
  ( CEEJA )

The CEEJA project is a 5-year EU-funded avoided deforestation and biodiversity project implemented by a well-established consortium of Danmission, Cambodian NGOs, local forestry networks, and the University of Copenhagen in three forested areas.

The project aims to improve forest-dependent populations’ ability to conserve and benefit from the natural resources that forests hold by strengthening their capacity to exercise their environmental rights peacefully. 

1) Financial support for forestry group network members -> to advocate for their environmental rights 

2) Outreach and communication strategies to engage Cambodian youth on environmental justice issues using social media platforms and cultural awareness events. 

3) Capacity-build forestry networks and enable them to participate in local, national and international policy development processes on environmental protection and biodiversity conservation.

4) Establish knowledge sharing platforms (i.e. SoME, multimedia presentations, participatory research, dialogues, forums, and conferences) to raise the visibility of the work and engage a broad range of local and international civil society stakeholders. 

5) Using cutting edge technologies:  Prey Lang App and Integrated Forest Observatory System (I-FOROS). 

Forestry network members and Forestry Dependent Community Members will use information from this system to: 

- Enhance public awareness about forestry justice issues.

- Provide an evidence base for advocacy on environmental rights. 

- Raise relevant issues and lessons learned to the national and international community.
