Authored by Natalie Boverman and Anna Lazenby. This research aimed to analyze the unique challenges of affordable housing in Cambodia, and to understand the role and contributions of non-governmental organizations in providing housing and services in Cambodia. The research fills a gap in existing literature— personal accounts of Khmer people critically analyzing their own situations and work in policy and housing stock. While the report focuses on housing in Cambodia, its discussion regarding how NGOs interact with government parties, the importance of tenure, and the necessity of the human perspective in this line of work is relevant across the globe. This work was done as an independent research project funded by the School of Architecture at the University of Texas, Austin.
