Within the period of the previous 12 years, Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY) has played an essential key role in developing the rural areas (including sub-urban areas of Phnom Penh city) of Kingdom of Cambodia. Our work has focused on Early Childhood Care and Development (that’s KrY’s core work since its inception of 2001) and on Community Empowerment (specifically the empowerment of the poorest families and vulnerable groups) and these works are increasingly important in the context of the currently development using integrated approaches. Every work of KrY has significantly contributed to the poverty reduction and to the increase in both quantity and quality of the education, basically early childhood education.
Currently, I clearly realized KrY’s capacity in carrying out these works has greatly improved. In this 2013, we received a budget of USD 1,139,046 (representing a 35% increase of the budget in 2012 – USD 838,185) and got n ine ( 9) projects which allowed KrY to start working in the new field (Vocational Training to disadvantage young people) and to scale up its interventions to dominate in another new target province – Ratanakiri. With this progress, the number of the beneficiaries of KrY’s intervention also sharply increased and its details can be found in this report.
This achievement does not happen by itself. It happens because of the enough technical ability and the strong determination of KrY (in helping children to get the holistic development and the child rights respect, and increasing self-confidence of the poorest to successfully improve their livelihood) which were built for many years. All of these are the key factors which has been helped KrY to remain getting successive supports from donors, local authorities and government officials and partner families so far.
Therefore, I, representing all members of the board of directors of KrY, would like to sincerely extend our thanks to all donors, partners, and our key stakeholders who have contributed to the accomplishment of our activities whose achievements were highlighted in this report.

Message from Executive Director
On behalf of Executive Director of Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY), I would like to express my sincere to inform you that KrY was established in 2001 and has been operated over 12 years by initially beginning its work with community preschool establishment and parenting and then expanding its operation to cover other new key activities including counseling, ECCD training, child club, livelihood improvement, family health improvement, and vocational training.
This report will highlight the key achievements of each of these above key activities in 2013 along with challenges and lessons we have faced and learnt during the implementation period. The achievements don’t happen by easy work but hard work of all KrY’s staff in combination with the supports from partner families (heads of the families and their children), the government, and especially donors who provided both financial and technical support to us.
In 2013, we has spent USD 978,882 (86% of the budget received in 2013) on implementing its key activities and benefit to 31,141 people (partner families, children, and duty bearers). Local authorities in target areas, community structures such as preschool supporting committee, preschool teachers, village volunteers, child club leaders, child club supporting committee and other structures (formed by KrY) also received capacity building/trainings so that they take their roles and responsibility more effectively and contribute to the sustainability and autonomy of the practices of various community development activities when KrY withdrawals from those target areas.
We also developed the Strategic Plan 2014-2018 which gives the direction for us to continuously carry out our key activities, for scaling up its operation to a bigger coverage, and for seizing other new activities for implementation within the next 5 year period.
Finally, I would like to highly appreciate the efforts of all KrY's staff who has worked with high responsibility as well as board of directors and paid their best attention on their works. And once again, I, representing Krousar Yoeung Association and all KrY’s staff would like to sincerely extend our thanks to all donors, partners, and its key stakeholders who have contributed to supporting KrY’s activities till now.

2. Strategic Plan 2009-2013 The year of 2013 is the last year for implementing its Strategic Plan 2009-2013 of the Krousar Yoeung Association which have 5 key areas as following:
To improve the quality of the support and to increase the access of a larger number of children to preschool education To improve the quality of the care and education provided to children To improve the living conditions of the most vulnerable families To reinforce local and institutional capacities To promote early childhood and parental support to decision makers and national and international communities
We also develops the Strategic Plan 2014-2018 which gives the direction for continuously carrying out its key activities, for scaling up its operation to a bigger coverage, and for seizing new activity for implementation within the next 5 year period. (See section 11 on page 46 of this report for more details).
3. Krousar Yoeung from 2010-2014 From one year to another, Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY) has taken a footstep forward on positive trends for many aspects including for budget, number of project, number of donor, and target areas. Budget for the last two years (2012 & 2013) increased sharply to over one million dollar (USD 1,139,046 in 2013), contributed by the increase in the budget funded by Plan Australia and Plan Belguim (Received fund from EU). This is because of our hard working with strong technical ability and strong determination to get two new projects more: (including Vocational Training to Disadvantage Young People Project, and Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) for ethnic minority children in Ratanakiri province). With these two projects, we can expand our interventions to another new province – Ratanakiri. Furthermore, for the last 3 years, although the composition of our donors has changed, we still get supports from 7 different donors, the same number in the previous years. Currently, KrY is implementing 9 projects in 6 target provinces, funded by 7 donors.

6. Our Approaches in Implementation of Activities In order to achieve its ultimate goal of providing children with harmonious and holistic development, Krousar Yoeung Association has pursued three different approaches in line with the actual circumstances and context of each project. These are the following:
6.1 An Integrated Approach Implementing Early Childhood Care and Development activities alone is not enough to accomplish KrY’s final goal because children’s development can be influenced by their living conditions, their family’s health status, the confidence of their parents and other factors. In this regard, a number of projects for which secure funds are available have been designed including other new components such as social work/counseling, livelihood improvement, and improved access to health services, so that the outputs of these components’ activities can contribute to the success of ECCD work. Through this integrated approach, KrY can do more activities which have the potential to bring more adapted responses to its beneficiaries (the poorest families) as well as to contribute to the harmonious and holistic development of children.
6.2 Working in Partnership Krousar Yoeung Association makes efforts to cooperate and build a firm relationship with social service providers/local authorities and development partners present in its operational areas rather than to do everything alone. We attempt to make the poorest people aware of the services available in their community, to strengthen their capacities, to empower them and to encourage them to build a network, which enables them to mobilize existing resources within the community. For example, in Siem Reap province, KrY cooperated with Plan, CHHRAC, PADV, Marie Stopes, CEDAC, and health centers for various purposes, especially health and domestic violence.
6.3 Action Targeting the Community by Focusing on Poorest Families The organization has chosen to place its intervention within the community as a whole and realizes that it is important to simultaneously take into account the needs of both the community as a whole and of its poorest members in order to reinforce the cohesion within villages and to consolidate social integration of the most vulnerable families with the aim to develop solidarity within the community.
The situation of the poorest families cannot sustainably improve without an integrated development of the community. It is essential that an action that aims to change the conditions in which the poorest families live take a deep root within the community.

7.1 Community Preschool Establishment with Quality Education and Autonomy
Community preschool establishment is one of Krousar Young Association’s core works and we has carried out this key activity since KrY’s inception until now by paying a considerably high attention every year. The aim of this activity is to construct and support the preschool to be autonomously functioning, by the target community participation/support and to provide early childhood with a quality preschool education program simulating the children to get holistic development.
With financial supports from European Union, Agence Française de Dévelopment, Plan Belgium, Aspara Italy, and Intervida, KrY, in 2013, carried out this activity in four (4) target capital- provinces: Phnom Penh capital (sub-urban areas), Kandal, Takeo, and Ratanakiri provinces. We constructed 13 preschools in Ratanakiri province (to be 100% completed and ready for student enrollment in 2014) and other 26 preschools were repaired (repairing wall, construct toilet, kitchen, and playgrounds) and provide additional supported (teacher training support, pedagogy/teaching technique support, and regular monitoring support) so that these preschools are functioning well.

Currently, 47 non-autonomous preschools are under the direct management of KrY and 21 of them, which have not received any financial supports from other donors, still received supports (including repairing, classroom material supports, pedagogy/teaching technique support, and regular monitoring support) as much as KrY can afford. Other 51 preschools (even though they are autonomous) still receives regular monitoring support from KrY’s staff. In addition to the KrY’s support, those preschools (both autonomous and non-autonomous) also have their own resource sources for their preschool operational costs and especially the salary of preschool teachers. The resource sources are income generating project (73 projects) and Rice banks (54 banks) which are being managed by their respective preschool supporting committees. Both preschool teachers and the preschool supporting committees are recruited/formed and trained by KrY.

Through the above efforts in supporting 98 preschools (47 non-autonomous preschools and 51 autonomous preschools) to be well functioning in 2013 we achieved the key result as below:
3,341 children 3-5 (1,743 girls) (55% of all children 3-5 in villages) enrolled in 98 preschools in studying year 2013-2014 and are receiving preschool education program (recognized by Ministry of Education Youth and Sport) with good quality and simulating them to have holistic development including physical, intelligent, sensory, socio affective and good behaviors.

KrY has extensive experience in forming and training the preschool supporting committee and has good cooperation with the government’s entities/authorities in charge of ECCD (from national level to sub-national level).
Lessons learnt: The success of the community preschool establishment is depend on the participation of the decision making of district education office and commune councils.

7.2 Parenting
Parenting is one of the key activities supporting Early Childhood Care and Development and Child Rights Promotion. Therefore, KrY has paid high attention on this work since its inception so that we can contribute to the child development (which is our core work).
The main objective of this work is to strengthen the parents’ capacity in taking care their children (esp. children age 0-6) so that they (children) are healthy and live in a clean and safe environment enabling for their growth and their holistic development. This key activity is mainly to organize a monthly parents group discussion/meeting, facilitated by animators (recruited and trained by KrY) and focusing on 8 key topics1. This parent group discussion/meeting also gives chance for those parents to meet and share each other the good experiences in taking care their children and in solving problems they are facing. This has contributed to positively change in the parenting skill practices of these parents and build a habit of helping each other within their community.
In 2013, within the framework of many projects, this parenting activity was put in place in 5 capital- provinces: Phnom Penh capital (sub-urban areas), Siem Reap, Kandal, Takeo, and Ratanakiri provinces and we achieved the key result as below:
Through participating in monthly parent group discussion/meetings, it was observed that all parents understood their roles and responsibilities and positive changed their behaviors in taking care their children (in line with 8 key topics) as they could choose different methods in feeding their children and share these to other parents in the community. Through the assessment by parenting team, considerable high percentage of parents have improved their parenting skill and practices in terms of sanitation & hygiene (75.4% of the parents), in preparing security of the environment for children (77%), food nutrition and child health (77.6%), and in child development2 (77.4%). Moreover, pregnant women have paid high attention in taking care their pregnancy as they go to health center for natal checkup regularly.

Krousar Yoeung Annual Report 2013 Page 13 of 56
Within the framework of Empowering Families Project currently implementing in Siem Reap and Kampong Cham province, KrY mainstreamed the parenting skill through its project’s key activities including counseling, community meeting on good health practices, agricultural skill/technique training and other meeting/events to 1,891 partner families and 1,608 non- partner families. Based on the assessment, 73.5% of those families have improved their parenting skill and practices.
Challenges: Solutions:
Community people are busy with their The animator makes a working plan at the time income generating activities. So it’s difficult they are free (on Saturday and Sunday) and for making appointment with them to conduct home visit to their house to meet with organize parent group discussion. other members.
In Ratanakiri, there are lack of human KrY recruit those who are interested in this job resource (who can read and write Khmer) to and provide extra capacity building work as parenting animator.
Strengths: KrY’s staffs are good at parenting skill and have extensive experience in mobilizing community people (esp. parents) to participate in parent group discussion. KrY has maintained a good relationship with local authorities and get strong support from them for implementing this activity at community level.
Lessons learnt: To ensure a smooth implementation of parenting program, close collaboration with local authorities and district education office is needed for forming parent group and we also have to encourage them to practice the parenting skill at home. Animator needs to be an active and hard working person and has high commitment in organizing and facilitating parent group discussion, monitoring the practices of parent group members (parents) and conducting thoroughly assessment. To ensure the success of this activity implementation, it is important for team work to choose the topics responding to the real and prioritized need of the parents in the community.

7.3 Early Childhood Care and Development Training
Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY) has built its technical capacity and practical experience in Early Childhood Care and Development for over 12 years and we has enough capacity and skill in providing ECCD training service to concerned actors working in ECCD fields so that to contribute to increasing the human resource in this field. With this capacity, KrY in collaboration with Department of Training and Refresher of Ministry of Education Youth and Sport (MoEYS), has organized the ECCD training courses which on the one hand, is a service KrY serves to other partner NGOs and on the other hand, is a key activity within the framework of the project “Capacity building of NSA involved in promoting early childhood non-formal education in disadvantaged peri- urban communities in Burkina Faso and Cambodia” and “Early Childhood Resource Center” project (funded by EU and AFD).
The aim of the training is at strengthening the ECCD technical capacity (focusing on pedagogy/teaching and child care, implementing ECCD related projects, monitoring, problem solving skill and communication) to key actors working in this field. Those key actors include preschool teacher (have 3 module3 training), preschool supporting committee (have 4 module training), and parenting animator (have 4 module training). In 2013, we trained 352 trainees (231 women) (124/94 women of which are from 19 partner NGOs) and their technical capacity has improved as below:

7.5 Free Play
It is generally observed Play is the main needs for children development around the world. Therefore, through cooperation with Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY), Enfants & Développement (E&D) and Chemins D’enfances and with financial support from EU, the Free Play Project was created with an aim at developing children’s knowledge, self-confidence, and total 4 development6, and enable them to be skillful in playing free game happily, preferentially and safely, and educate their mindset to respect others (other player), respect play’s materials, respect play rule and time which later lead them to respect the country’s law and regulation. In 2013, this project has been implemented with 9 community preschool7 in 3 capital- provinces: Phnom Penh, Takeo, Kandal) and enable 780 children (418 girls) to participate in free game activities. This free game consists of 4 types including Exercising Play, Symbolic Play, Assembling Play, and Rule-based Play. The results from these activities are as below:
23 preschool teachers (23 women) of 9 community preschool received orientation meeting on the project and on conducting free game activities. They understood the meaning and objective of the Free Play project and have self-confidence in leading children to play game in the classrooms.

7.6 Child Club (Improve Studying) Performance and Child Rights Respect
Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY) considers children as a source of energy for the family and the community development. Therefore, KrY has paid its high attention on child rights respect and improving their studying performance through the establishment of the child club.
The main objective of the child club establishment is that children, especially those from the poorest families and vulnerable groups8 understand about and confidently exercise the Rights of the Child9 and receive knowledge/capacity building and life skill training supports through the monthly child club meetings and other trainings/events. This activity – child club establishment, also contributes to supporting children (both boys and girls) to finish the compulsory education, and reducing the repeated rate, and dropout rate. With these necessity, KrY has established 57 child clubs: 23 in Phnom Penh (sub-urban areas), 20 in Siem Reap, 14 in Kampong Cham and formed 17 child club supporting committees (consisting of 268 members (96 women)) to support and monitor the operation of these child clubs. In this 2013, we achieved a key result as below:
Currently, 89% of 196 child club leaders (102 girls) have enough capacity to regularly organize and lead the monthly child club meetings by themselves. Through joining the monthly child club meetings, 90% of all 4,259 child club members (2,522 girls), based on the observation and the assessment by KrY’s child right team, they clearly understood the Rights of the Child (4 child rights), be braved to participate in community/village meetings, confidently to raise up the concerns they and other children are facing, possess life skills10, understood the value of the education and have the culture of sharing (hard working student teaches weak students during the monthly child club meeting) as well as get knowledge of good health practices and illness preventive measures.
88% of those child club members have actively participated in the monthly child club meeting and attended their school regularly with good studying performance (i.e.: they all passed the exams). Moreover, 9.86% (419 child club members) are ranked in the list of top 10 in their respective classes.
In addition to the monthly child club meeting, KrY also provided scholarship supports (studying material supports) to child club members from the poor families. We also organized the Forum on the Rights of the Child (participated by children and their parents, teachers, and concerned local authorities) which gave chances for raising up the problems the children are facing and finding the solution to the problems in order to promote the child right respects in the community. By carrying out these activities, we achieved the key results as below:
1,467 children (1,004 girls) pursue their studying regularly after receiving studying material supports (including bag, books, pens, pencils, rubber, ruler, diameter, uniform, shoes, and bicycle). 324 local authorities and concerned government officials (139 women) and heads of 2,150 partner families and heads of 1,637 non-partner families got the concept of the Rights of the Child through joining child right trainings, counseling, forum on the rights of the child and these duty bearers committed to solve the problems the children are facing especially those concerning the children education. Through cooperation with Child Wise Cambodia (CWC) organization, 18 KrY’s staff (6 women) organized training on Child Safe Organization and through this training we have updated our Child Protection Policy.
8Vulnerable families include woman headed families, families with domestic violence, families with disable members and elders, families with people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH), orphan headed families, marginalized groups. 9 The Rights of the Child (4 child rights) including Survival Rights, Development Rights, Protection Rights, and Participation Rights 10 Life skills include sewing, weaving, first aids, dancing, saving, vegetable growing, animal raising, and others Krousar Yoeung Annual Report 2013 Page 24 of 56

7.7 Strengthening Child Friendly School Program Practices (at Preschool and Primary School)
Within the framework of Empowering Children and Families Project (funded by Intervida), Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY) started to carry out this activity – strengthening child friendly school program practices in 2013 with an aim at strengthening the capacity of concerned key actors (including primary & preschool supporting committees, teachers, and the Child Council) so that they effectively contribute to improving the practices of child friendly school program. To achieve this, KrY carried out 3 sub-activities: (i) strengthen the capacity of primary & preschool supporting committees, (ii) increase the capacity of preschool teachers and primary teachers, (iii) build the capacity and support the Child Council to be more active and operate smoothly.
KrY has implemented these sub-activities in Phnom Penh’s sub-urban areas (in 23 villages of 3 communes of Sen Sok district and Por Senchey district) with 5 primary schools (Kokrokar Trapaing Anchanh, Trapaing Krosang, Sensok and Neak Okhna Hun Neang Anlong Kngan primary schools) and 11 preschools (Kokrokar,Trapaing Anchanh, Samaki, Sensok 1–7, Trapaing Raing Thmey preschools).
32 members (4 women) of primary & preschool supporting committees understood clearly about all 6 components of child friendly school program11 and they could even ensure their schools have a good operation (by using different school managing methods) to contribute to improving the practices of child friendly school program. For instance, those committees’ members committed to prepare school development plan 2013-2014, to organize regularly meeting to strengthen the school operation, to draw household map and conduct community visits to collect school-age children (esp. girls) to enroll at preschools and primary school and mobilize the support from community people especially parents of the children. Moreover, school principals can build relation with other partner NGOs, by themselves, to seek more support for improving the practice of child friendly school program at their respective school. 95% of 82 preschool and primary school teachers (41 women) understood clearly about all 6 components of child friendly school program and their roles and responsibilities, and have paid higher attention in increasing their teaching methods especially for Khmer literature, math, pre-writing, and pre-math so that they provide a good quality education to all students in their schools. The structure of the Child Council was reviewed and well-structured again. 79% (45/18 girls) of 57 child council leaders (23 women) are capacitated to lead the Child Council well and to implement key activities such as share information about food hygiene, and health care, clean the class environment, strengthen student’s practice of school’s internal roles, encourage children to teach each other, learn from each other, respect each other and have good solidarity. Now they could even determine the problems and be braved to raise up to the school board of directors for the solutions. 94% (4,371/2,073 girls) of 4,646 students (2,199 girls) of the 5 primary schools passed their final exam of the studying year 2012-2013. While 80% (180) of 227 children aged 5 studying at 11 preschools have successfully enrolled at primary school for the studying year 2013-2014 (when they immediately reach age of 6).
116 components of child friendly school program include (i) Collect children to enroll at school (ii) effective studying, (iii) health safety and child protection (iv) respond to gender equality, (v) community participation, (vi) strengthening supportive networks.

Challenges: Solutions: Teachers are not so active in Try to strengthen the capacity of teachers practicing child-center study mode. through class demonstration A small number of teachers (at Inform to district education office to help Trapaing Krosang primary school) did handle with this problem. not pay attention in implementing school activities in conformity with the concepts of child friendly school program.
Strengths: Leaders of the Child Councils have enough capacity to lead their group well. Children, teachers, school principals have integrity with each other and well cooperate to implement many school activities in conformity with the concepts of child friendly school program
Lesson learnt: Child club activities and scholarship program (studying material supports) strongly encourage students (esp. girls), who decided to drop out of school, to re-decide to continue their study.

7.8 Network of Early Childhood Care and Development (NECCD)
In 2013, Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY) was chose by NECCD members to become the Chair of the network. This network has been established since 199612 with 5 main objectives: (i) Strengthening early childhood activities in Cambodia to meet the needs of national development (ii) Advocating early childhood related policies and action plans of the Royal Government of Cambodia (iii) Sharing experience on early childhood to civil society and the government (iv) Disseminating new findings related to early childhood care and development within the parents and those whom the children are with (v) Discovering new research/documents (stories, songs and games) to respond to the children’s need.
In this 2013, KrY organized and led 4 meetings and 2 exposure visits (to Plan Cambodia’s Svay Chek preschool in Siem Reap and KrY’s Korokar preschool in Phnom Penh), participated by 27 NGO members and Department of Early Childhood Education and Department of Training and Refresher. The results NECCD achieved (under the lead by KrY and participated by all NGO members) are described below:
NECCD has been functioned like a think tank for consulting with NGO members in developing new documents which respond to the children’s needs (i.e.: the creation of the video “Supporting Children to Build their future” and the document “Philosophy” of KY). All members shared each other their good experiences in implementing ECCD project. Through this sharing, NGOs members realized clearer the different strategies in implementing ECCD project effectively (like parenting training, strategy in preschool operation management, and other early childhood education work) so that they use them for strengthen their own ECCD work later. The network has also acted like a forum for sharing the new documents, new initiatives, and other update news/events. These sharing include guidelines on ECCD, on community preschool, on home based education, and on resource preschool (by Department of Early Childhood Education), draft of Education Strategic Plan 2014 (by NEP), Manual for pre-writing and pre-math teaching (by KrY), initiative of developing Yoga for Children (by Early Childhood Resource Center) and news of upcoming national and international workshops (by members) and many new documents (by members).
Due to the budget constraints, the NECCD has not yet achieved others of its objectives (for stance. conducting the research).
12At that time, it was called the Sub-committee of Early Childhood and the name was changed to Network of Early Childhood Care and Development in 2011.

8.1 Counselling with the Poorest
Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY) has carried out this key activity – counseling with the poorest, since 2004 and to date, we were recognized as a non-governmental organization (NGO) which is strong at counseling with the poorest families.
Counseling is a process of dialogue or consultation (consisting of 5 steps) with heads of poorest families and vulnerable families13 to increase their self-confidence in improving the quality of their living through realizing problems14, finding the solutions and using their strengths for creating the Family Development Plan for their families.
The main objective of this key activity is to build up the capacity and increase self-confidence of the heads of the poorest families and vulnerable Ms. Ma Sam Oeun is providing counseling step 3 to families so that they confidently improve their partner family in Lang Dai village, Angkor Thom district, families’ livelihood, effectively use the necessary Siem Reap province. social services and bravely participate in various community development activities in order to have a living with harmony and dignity and especially they (family heads) understand the value of education and work hard to have sufficient resource for their children education. This key activity also aims at reducing the discrimination against poverty and vulnerability by duty bearers and community members.
In 2013, KrY has provided counseling to 2,150 partner families in 3 capital-provinces: Phnom Penh capital (sub-urban areas) (259 families), Kampong Cham province (1,009 families) and Siem Reap province (882 families) and the key result achieved are below:
Through the joint efforts of KrY and Village Volunteers (in providing counseling, monitoring, and other supports, and organizing monthly difficult case conference) 1,476 (69%) of all 2,150 partner families received completed 5 steps counseling and they have increased their self-confidence, are able to create a clear Family Development Plan, bravely participate in various community development activities/events, and confidently build relation with local authorities in order to receive necessary social services for solving their problems (health problems, economic problems, administrative problem, education (of children) problem , and psychological problem). Also, the cases of domestic violence were reduced (for instance. 94% of total domestic violence cases in 20 target villages in Siem Reap province was decreased).
Other 674 families (31%) are receiving continuous counseling service (from step 1 to step 5) and they all need more monitoring supports so that they have enough confidence to improve their livelihood situations and to have a living with dignity in the future.
Through organizing many regular meeting and annual community forum (participated by community members and duty bearers) those duty bearers understood/realized the needs (and problems) of the poorest, vulnerable group, women, children and acknowledged that disability issue is also a part of the social development. Therefore, they (duty bearers)
13 Vulnerable families include woman headed families, families with domestic violence, families with disable members and elders, families with people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH), orphan headed families, and marginalized groups. 14 Those problems include health problem, economic problem, administrative problem, education (of children) problem, and psychological problem. Krousar Yoeung Annual Report 2013 Page 33 of 56
have integrated those needs (and problems) of those groups of people into the Commune Investment Plan so that the community people (regardless their economic status, vulnerability, disability, and age (children or adult or elder)) will receive different necessary development services in equity manner from today onward.
A document “Empowering Families: A Practical model for working with the poorest families and most vulnerable groups in Cambodia communities” was already written and translated into Khmer and disseminated to other concerned government’s institutes/entities and other partner NGOs in order to publicly announce this KrY’s effective way of working with the poorest.

“Through counseling, my family has seen a massive change through the counseling. I have been encouraged by KrY staff to discuss my concerns and increase my personal confidence.. The biggest change in my life is that my husband and I, as well as my mother-in-law, are communicating and collaborating to improve our living condition because I have more income now. I feel very confident to work or do livelihood activities because I have my husband’s support.”
Mrs. Bun La, partner family member
Challenge: Solution: Migration of partner families. Continue providing counseling to the families’ members (who remain staying at home) and prepare a new working timetable which can provide counseling to them at the time they come back.
Strengths: Social staffs are skillful in counseling, have a good collaboration with each other, and work hard in conducting home visits to partner families at the community level. Counseling is the effective method in increasing the self-confidence of partner family’s heads and in encouraging them to work well together to improve their living conditions. Krousar Yoeung Annual Report 2013 Page 34 of 56
Lessons Learnt: Counseling needs the participation from both partner family’s heads (husband and wife) and the support from other key activities such as livelihood improvement, family health improvement, vocational training (to be described in the next sections) so that they (family heads) have more self-confidence and more supports to implement their Family Development Plan successfully. Creating and maintaining firm relationship with local authorities, concerned government’s institutes/entities and other NGOs help solve the problems of the poorest families and vulnerable groups effectively and in timely manner. The integration of project’s key activities into Commune Investment Plan ensures the sustainability of the project.
Social Center (in ToekYerng village PonhaKrek district Kampong Cham province) is one of 18 social centers (established by KrY) (9 in Siem Reap, 7 in Kampong Cham, 1 in Phnom Penh) and those social centers are being used as counseling room and other meetings/events by community people.

8.2 Livelihood Improvement
Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY) started to carry out this key activity in 2007 when Empowering Families Project was developed and this activity was set up as one of the core components of the project. The aim of this key activity is that poorest families and vulnerable groups have increased income through sustainable and diverse income sources and sufficient to meet the basic needs of their families. We have implemented this activity with 1009 partner families in Kampong Cham and 882 partner families in Siem Reap provinces.
Through the cooperation with provincial department of agriculture, district agriculture office, village livestock agents (34 persons), local authorities and other partner NGOs, we carried out many sub activities including farm and off-farm technique training, material supports (including small business start-up capital)15, community literacy classes, agricultural product selling shop, saving groups, and community forum16 on increasing agricultural productivity and income. By carrying out these activities, we achieved the key result as below:
1,891 partner families received training supports on various agricultural techniques and skills and other necessary material supports and now 1,44817(76.57%) families have increased their agricultural productivity, improved their family food security status (can secure for whole year food consumption),diversified their income sources (more than one) and increased their incomes sufficient to meet their basic needs, especially meet the need of their children’s education. For other 443 (23.43%) families, KrY will continue providing its support to those families so that they diversify their income sources and improve their livelihood in the future.
To date, KrY’s intervention helped 955 partner families (50%) of all 1,891 poorest families and vulnerable groups to get out of poverty (based on data from commune councilors in target areas)

The above achievement is strongly contributed by social team who have encouraged and increased the self-confidence of partner families in improving their livelihood and then creating their Family Development Plan. This Plan enables livelihood team to realize the agricultural skills (those families need) and to prepare the delivery of these agricultural skill/techniques and materials support accordingly so that those family successfully implement their Family Development Plan.
15Material supports include sanitary materials, animals, vegetable seed, and start-up capital (USD 20-70) for running small/family-scaled business. 16The forum participated by poor farmers, agricultural development service providers, market supplier and others stakeholders. 17705 in Kampong Cham and 743 in Siem Reap provinces.

Challenges: Solutions: Natural disaster (flood, drought, storm Provide training on mitigation measure and and lightening). adaptation to climate change and natural disasters to partner families. Vegetable and animal diseases Cooperation with village livestock agents and outbreak. district agricultural office (to vaccinate animals and treat the diseases) and monitor and strengthen the capacity of partner families in Land have many tree's roots and the raising animal and growing vegetable. soil is unfertilized, therefore it is difficult for cultivation Provide land clearing support and training on ). compost fertilizer (to improve the quality of soil) Some villagers still use pesticide (kill insect and grass). Disseminate the information of the negative impact of pesticide use to partner families and provide training on how to produce and use the compost fertilizer.
Strengths: Livelihood team with social team (counseling) are good at finding the strengths (in agricultural skills) possessed by the partner families and at providing appropriate agricultural techniques/skills trainings (which can effectively apply in the areas, in line with geographical condition (soil and weather) and market demand) to partner families.
KrY’s agricultural skill trainings are diversified and in combination with material supports, KrY’s partner families can effectively increase their income.
Lessons Learnt:
Good collaboration with district agricultural office and village livestock agents can help solve emergent issues (like disease outbreak on vegetable and animal) effectively and in timely manner.
To improve the livelihood of poorest families, vulnerable families, and marginalized families, we need to respond to those families’ real needs/problems, resulting from the analysis/ dialogue (participated by KrY’s staff and partner families) existing during the counseling process.

8.3 Family Health Improvement
Within the framework of Empowering Families Project, Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY) has implemented the key activity – family health improvement, since 2007 until now and in this year of 2013 we have worked with 1,891 poorest families and vulnerable groups in Siem Reap and Kampong Cham provinces and with many non-partner families in target areas of 2 target provinces of the project.

The main objective of this key activity is to help poorest families and vulnerable groups to access to the quality health services and have knowledge of good health practices and routinely practice/apply them in their daily life. KrY has collaborated with provincial department of health, operational district, health centre, local authorities, and especially village health supporting groups, and partner NGOs to implement this activity and achieved the key results as below:
KrY, in collaboration with government officials (in sector of health) at sub-national level, organized the Community Health Forum (participated by health service users and providers) and conducted health spot check (to assess the quality of health service delivery at local level (health center)). As the result, those officials, especially staff at operational districts and health centers committed to eliminate inappropriate behavior of number of health staff and to improve the quality of health service for delivering to community people including both partner families and non-partner families, especially poorest families, vulnerable families, pregnant women, and children in equity manner. 18 Through counseling, sanitary material provision , the regular meetings on health issues, and the organization of quarterly village clean-up day campaign, 96.5% of partner families in both Siem Reap and Kampong Cham p r o v i n c e s are self-confident and brave to use the public health service (i.e.: they go to health center 5 times per year) when they have health problems. 73.83% of partner in Kampong Cham and 79% of partner families in Siem Reap provinces positively change their attitude/behavior in health care and have practiced/applied family good health practices (such as regular pre and post natal checkup, birth delivery at health center, child immunization, good body hygiene for children, clean environment/compound of the house (both inside and outside of the house), sleep in mosquito net, use sanitary toilet, drink safe/boiled water, and so on) in their daily life.

8.4 Vocational Training to Out-of-School Youths
With financial and technical support from Plan Australia (through Plan Cambodia), Vocational Training for Disadvantaged Young People Cambodia Project (for 4 years – from June 2013 to July 2017) was developed with an aim at helping the most disadvantaged out-of-school young women and men (age from 15 – 24) in Siem Reap, Kampong Cham and RatanakKiri provinces to have access to high quality and relevant vocational training that links them to dignified work19 opportunities. This vocational training to out-of-school youth (OSY) is also a key activity of Empowering Families Project (June 2011 – July 2014) which has been implementing in Siem Reap and Kampong Cham provinces. In 2013, Krousar Yoeung Association (KrY) (through these two projects) has supported 167 out-of-school youths (103 women) with details in the below box:
Within the framework of Empowering Families Project, 102 OSYs (68 women) received vocational skills training at community and small enterprises. And through additional material supports (including business start-up capital) and regular monitoring support, those OSYs are now running their own business/occupations (based their learnt skills) in their community and can make income from 5,000 riels to 15,000 riels per day and this can contribute to the improvement of their family livelihood. Within the framework of Vocational Training for Disadvantaged Young People Cambodia Project, we have cooperated with skillful person in the community, small enterprises, and provincial training center20 and provided vocational skills training to 65 OSYs (35 women). Those OSYs will be able to run their own business/occupations after the 4 months training finished.
These have also contributed to the reduction of migration of OSYs (without skills and jobs) and promoted the role of youth in improving their family livelihood.
