Project Objectives and Results
Project Objectives
The programme aimed to support and strengthen the food and nutrition security of the most vulnerable households
and communities in ways that build long-term social capital and physical assets, and build models and enhance
capacities that promote the development of sustainable national food security systems.
In support of equitable access to education for all, school meals, take-home rations and cash scholarships were
provided to children in pre-primary and primary schools in food-insecure areas of the country. New models for
suitable integration into government education and social services delivery were rolled out in the form of
home-grown school meals. Complementary activities included support to water and sanitation infrastructure and
associated behaviour change, and literacy, health and nutrition education, while capacity strengthening further
included the development of information management systems, government staff training and mentoring, and
support to the preparation of appropriate policy and strategy platforms to facilitate national programme ownership.
Support was provided to the national Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement in the form of strategic information on
the underlying determinants of malnutrition, backstopping of coordination functions, and the localisation of
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2. Further, efforts focused on continued stakeholder familiarisation on the
benefits of rice fortification.
Productive assets and livelihood support offered infrastructure, skills and knowledge to communities in areas with
least resilient livelihoods and highest vulnerability to climate change (as per the 2014 Consolidated Livelihood
Exercise for Analysing Resilience), as means to make sustainable and climate-smart adjustments to their
livelihoods. The programme further aimed to build bridges between community needs and efforts made at the
national level to develop tools and resources in support of decentralised development planning.
Extra-budgetary support was provided to strengthen Cambodia’s humanitarian preparedness and response
capacities, including greater access to and use of emergency and chronic vulnerability information, and linkages to
existing poverty registration systems. Given Cambodia’s vulnerability to environmental and climatic shocks,
protection of developmental gains is key to sustained economic and social growth.
