The Issue
The project addresses the lack of capacity and resources among Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Cambodia to effectively advocate for policy reforms and sustainable development goals. CSOs often struggle to influence national and sub-national policies due to limited knowledge and coordination.
The Project
This intervention will strengthen CSO networks through capacity-building activities, including training sessions on human rights and sustainability advocacy, coordinating collective inputs for policy reforms, and facilitating multi-stakeholder partnerships. By recruiting and training youth ambassadors for the Sustainable Development Goals, the project will also engage young people in advocacy efforts. These initiatives aim to improve the effectiveness and influence of CSOs in policy-making processes.

The Change
The project will result in more robust and coordinated CSO networks capable of advocating for policy reforms and sustainable development. Expected outcomes include increased CSO participation in policy dialogues, enhanced knowledge on relevant policies among CSOs, and successful advocacy campaigns. The project will also empower youth ambassadors to take active roles in promoting and implementing Sustainable Development Goals.
