Summary

Description of project being evaluated:

Food for the Hungry Cambodia (FH Cambodia) in partnership with Baptist World Aid Australia (BWAA) has been implementing a Children, Youth and Communities for Change (CYCC) project in northern Cambodia since January 2020. This project was designed according to the BWAA CYCC program framework and in line with the Food for the Hungry Child Focused Community Transformation (CFCT) approach.

The CYCC Project is an integrated community development project through which FH Cambodia walks alongside communities to equip and empower community leaders to facilitate transformative solutions to address issues surrounding their own communities. These solutions will be designed to be sustained by the communities itself, enhance local skills and prioritise the active engagement of children, youth and households of the target communities.

The project is being implemented in 13 communities in Beng Commune, working with adults, youth, and children (particularly those considered most vulnerable) aim to see the well-being of children and youth as a core driving force for the project. The project also prioritises the active participation of children and youth in project activities and in decision-making about things that affect them. The project works across the four key thematic domains of education, health and nutrition, livelihoods and resilience, and protection.
