More than 82,000 young people across four countries will be supported by the Southeast Asia Sport and Youth Crime Prevention (SYCP) Initiative over the next 18 months.

More than one million Euros will be assigned to 11 organisations across Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam to advance sport-based projects aimed at supporting building safer communities.

Registration is now open for the first Southeast Asia Sport and Youth Crime Prevention (SYCP) Conference, which is being held in collaboration with UNODC and will take place in Bangkok.

The full potential of sport’s role in crime prevention is being held back by “many of the same challenges” being experienced simultaneously in different locations, according to our Chief Executive.
