7. MDG Joint Programme in Cambodia Materials

MDG Joint Programme for Children, Food Security and Nutrition in Cambodia

The Joint Programme will contribute to the attainment of the Cambodian Millennium Development Goals 1, 4 and 5 by improving the nutritional status of children aged 0‐24 months and pregnant and lactating women. In partnership with relevant government ministries, it will build capacity to implement nationwide behaviour change communication programmes to promote early and exclusive breastfeeding, adequate complementary feeding and improved maternal nutrition. In addition, it will implement a comprehensive integrated package of nutrition and food security interventions to reduce undernutrition and improve food security among a high risk population. The Joint Programme will further strengthen nutrition, food security and agriculture policies and develop innovative implementation strategies for improving nutrition at population level. It will strengthen existing monitoring systems, assess the impact of implemented interventions and provide guidance for scaling up the comprehensive package.
