Moreover, CSO monitoring of land conflicts is not conducted regularly, except
in Indonesia and Cambodia, and partly in Bangladesh.2
The cases in this study have been selected on the basis of “incidence” of any
form of violence within the stated period of study. Thus, it excludes many
cases with latent conflicts that remain unresolved.

The Konsorsium Pembaruan Agraria (KPA) has been monitoring land conflicts in Indonesia since 2008.
Similarly, the NGO Forum, along with several other CSOs (LICADHO, ADHOC, etc.) have been monitoring
land conflicts arising from the issuance of Economic Land Concessions (ELCs) in Cambodia. For Bangladesh,
the Kapaeeng Foundation has produced annual reports on land conflicts involving indigenous peoples in
the plains and the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
