Cambodian youth in action 

In 2021, Sipar launched its youth program, co-funded by the French Development Agency (AFD). This program aims to help young people in rural areas to develop career paths adapted to a changing job market, while reinforcing their autonomy and civic commitment.

By broadening the career prospects of middle and high school students living in rural areas, the project contributes to Cambodia’s socioeconomic development and helps reduce social and gender inequalities. Explore the program through this video.
