3. Education leaders/providers are better equipped to improve the efficiency of education.

4. The local educational environment is improved through advocacy and research.

SIPAR

Youth Star Cambodia and SIPAR continue our partnership on the project of “Promotion of Local Voluntarism for Community Development” to reinforce and facilitate the action conducted in the framework of the Youth Clubs.

SIPAR collaborates with Youth Star to provide supplementary technical support related to two activities implemented by the Youth Clubs:

1). Promoting reading with mobile libraries

2). Tutoring of disadvantaged children in math & Khmer language

The technical support consists in providing training, materials (books, school supplies, etc.) and monitoring. In 2015, support was provided to ten clubs already established in Prey Veng and Kratie and in one in Kompong Thom (Kork Ngoun). Youth Star and SIPAR collaborate to help organize awareness campaigns on social & environmental issues according to needs of the Youth Clubs.

Youth Star and SIPAR collaborate to plan, prepare, and organize workshops and skills exchange sessions according to the work plan established in the beginning of the year.
