Youth Participation in Decentralization Process
 
Overview
Khmer Youth Association plays an important role to educate people and members of commune councils to understand, why it is important for all people in the community to be active in communal development, and why they need to know what advocacy is.
What we want
  • a society where youths actively participate in democratic processes and in the promotion of human rights
  • to promote the participation of people in local development processes
  • to encourage young people/youths to join in decision making and to share their concerns for developing their own community
What we do
We are working with citizens and members of commune councils. Those people can be anything as teachers, members of community development, village chiefs or villagers from the same commune/district. The age group we focus on is between 24 and 35 years. Our unit divides into two parts, the Civic Education and the Advocacy, whereas the Civic Education part provides trainings, workshops, networking, research and takes care about poster and brochure printing; the Advocacy part organizes youth conferences and roundtable discussions and publishes the newsletter called "Youth & Democracy".
What we work
We are working in six communes in each of the following provinces: Svay Rieng, Prey Veng, Takeo, Kampong Cham, and Siem Reap.
