eMpowering Youths Across ASEAN Programme Cohort 2

COHORT 2 SUMMARY PERFORMANCE

75 youths were selected from a total of 2,759 applications across 10 ASEAN countries. Unlike Cohort 1, which had the deployment component, for Cohort 2, we did not deploy the Youths Volunteers to the project sites in Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. A hybrid approach was implemented during the pandemic. This alternative was chosen due to the global spread of COVID-19 that triggered, among other consequences, a sprint towards infection prevention that included strict limitation of mobilization both local and international.

Below are the brief summary of Cohort 2:

21,106 Individuals positively impacted
Over 185 social media posts were circulated across four social media platforms of ASEAN Foundation (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn),
Generating 1,021,014 views, and 156,238 engagements.
According to Meltwater (2022), a total of eight clippings made a total PR value of USD 594,016.98.
The record from the CSOs shows that EYAA related online activities reached 851,910 people.
Funding of USD 25,000 per project due to the hybrid approach.
