The objective of the project was to strengthen the advocacy capacity of CHA staff and key stakeholders by enhancing their knowledge, skills, and practical tools for engaging in policy advocacy within Cambodia’s policymaking environment. API developed a contextualized training curriculum tailored to the hemophilia sector and Cambodia’s governance and legislative framework. 

The training covered core advocacy concepts and principles, advocacy campaign management, coalition-building for policy change, and effective engagement with government institutions and policymakers. Interactive methodologies were used throughout the training, including case studies, group work, role plays, and reflections, enabling participants to apply advocacy frameworks to real-life policy challenges faced by the hemophilia community. 

Key deliverables included a customized training curriculum, facilitation of the two-day training for CHA and its partners, and a comprehensive training report incorporating pre- and post-test analysis and participant feedback. As a result of the project, participants demonstrated improved understanding of advocacy strategies, stronger capacity to plan and manage advocacy initiatives, and increased confidence in engaging with policymakers and coalition partners.

This project contributed to strengthening CHA’s institutional advocacy capacity and supported its long-term goal of influencing health policy reforms to improve access to quality hemophilia care in Cambodia.
