Project Summary
Resilient and Eco-Youth-Led Initiative (REYI) is a 04-year project implemented in 06 primary schools, 20 villages, and 03 communes in Kampong Trabaek district, Prey Veng province. The project targets 3,000 youth (18–35 years), young farmers, and children (including 1,500 females/girls).
Participants are equipped with knowledge and practical skills in Climate Change Adaptation (CCA), Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), climate-smart and agro-ecological farming, and advocacy. The project creates and strengthens youth-led structures, linking them with duty bearers. Youth co-design and implement climate and environmental actions while engaging in local planning; schools integrate climate education, and farmers adopt climate-smart, environmentally friendly practices.
Key Project Objectives
Objective 1: Engagement of youth in DRR/CCA activities improved.
Objective 2: Resilience to disasters and climate change impacts of vulnerable communities (children, adults, and youth) improved.
