The “Youth Involvement in Implementing National Policy on Cambodian Youth Development” project is modeled after the significant achievements of the “Establish National Youth Policy (NYP)” project that facilitated theadoption of the National Policy on Cambodian Youth Development in 2012.

In 2013, KYA continued to advocate for policy implementation with support from Forum Syd. KYA held 11 workshops in order to enhance awareness about the importance of NYP. In total, there were 510 people participating in the activities. KYA organized four stakeholder meetings with 60 participants between representatives of youth/student NGOs, decision makers, senior government officials, and other involved individuals to lobby the real implementation of a NYP and the establishment of the National Youth Council. Lobby meetings with party leaders on the National Policy for Cambodian Youth Development were conducted eight times with 10 participants from the Youth Committee for Unity and Development (YCUD) to talk about NYP and youth participation in decision-making at the national level. Five YCUD working group meetings with 80 participants were conducted to discuss and follow up on the NYP implement and National Youth Council establishment, and define strategies to further advocate that the government should enforce the NYP at all levels. KYA is also urging for a National Youth Council to be established, something that has been laid out in the NYP but still not realized.
