A. FSN is central to development and poverty reduction • FSN is globally recognized as a fundamental dimension for development , good governance and basic human rights • FSN is central for the achievement of the MDG • Achieving FSN is essential for the RGC Development Priorities and FSN is addressed in CMDGs, Rectangular Strategy, NSDP etc. • FSN is a cross-cutting issue requiring coordinated efforts of many sectors 3
Determinants of Food Security Food Security (Nutritional Status) Food Intake Health Status Availability Access Utilization Stability - Production - Income - Nutritional - Quality of water - Prices knowledge - Hygiene - Trade - Subsidies - Nutritional - Health care - Storage - Access to behaviour markets - Caring capacities Socio-economic environment: e.g. poverty, population growth, literacy, influence of poor on decision making, existence of social safety nets etc. + Natural resources etc . 4
Different levels of food security: 1. National Level 2. Household Level 3. Individual Level Food and nutritional security need to be ensured at the macro, meso and micro level. Food security at a higher level of aggregation does not automatically imply food security at a lower level ! 5
1. Nutrition Status 2000 2005 CMDG (Outcome Indicators) Target 2015 in Cambodia Stunting 44,6 37,2 22 Underweight 45,2 35,6 22 Wasting 15 7,3 9 Under 5 child mortality 13,5 8,3 6,5 Sources: NIS/NIPH CDHS 2000 and CDHS 2005) Improvements may be challenged by limited food access due to current food price increases ! 6
B. Rational of SFFSN: A holistic reference framework for the crosscutting issue FSN • As an important cross-cutting issue, FSN needs to be explicitly considered/ mainstreamed in – national plans and programs, – sector strategies/policies and programs – decentralized planning process • The SFFSN is a holistic framework for reference to – analyze the FSN situation in Cambodia – to set overall objectives and targets with regard to FSN – to guide the formulation of priority actions in sector plans – to monitor FSN interventions across sectors. – to enhance coordination of stakeholders with regard to FSN 7
C. Formulation Process of the SFFSN • The SFFSN is based on a "FSN Strategy Paper" which was developed as an input for the NSDP process by the TWG-FSN in 2005. • SFFSN broadened and updated this paper with new data and policy context 2005- 2008. (CDHS 2005, CSES 2004, Final NSDP, new sector policies). • The elaboration of the SFFSN was selected as the JMI of the TWG-FSN for 2007. The formulation, went through a long process of discussions and consultations and relevant stakeholders provided comments and feedbacks ( MLMUPC,MoP,MAFF,MoH,NAA,WFP,FAO,WHO,UNICEF) • The final draft of the SFFSN was discussed and endorsed by the TWG- FSN in January 2008 and the translation of the SFFSN was done in parallel. • The SFFSN was officially endorsed and signed in May 2008 • Today, the SFFSN is launched and ready for dissemination. (FAO through its FNPP project supported formulation and printing of SFFSN as well as the workshop) 8

2. Analysis of FSN Situation and Policy Environment – FSN Situation in Cambodia • Progress and Trends (Malnutrition and Mortality) • Concept of FSN (4 dimensions: Availability, Access, Use and Utilisation, Stability) – Policy Context • Role of FSN in achieving CMDGs • Integration of FSN in NSDP • FSN-related sector policies and strategies – Institutional Context • FSN Forum (since Feb 2003) • TWG-FSN (created in late 2004) • MoP’s National Council of Nutrition • Provincial Nutrition Coordination Committee (PNCC) 10
3. SFFSN Vision, Goal and Objectives SFFSN Vision : "All Cambodians have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food, at all times, to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.” SFFSN Goal: “By 2012, poor and food-insecure Cambodians have substantially improved physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.” 11
SFFSN Objectives: 1. Increased food availability (" Food-insecure households increase food availability from their own agriculture and livestock production and from common property forests and fisheries"). 2. Increased food access (Food-insecure households increase their food access by increasing household employment and incomes to buy foods). 3. Improved use and utilization of food: (Food-insecure households improve their food use and utilization, as a means to reduce malnutrition, morbidity and mortality, particularly among women and children). 4. Increased stability of food supply: (Food insecure households increase their capacities to cope with risks through reducing vulnerability to shocks and thereby increase the stability of food supply). 5. Enhanced institutional and policy environment for FSN: (The institutional and policy environment for achieving improved food security and nutrition in Cambodia is enhanced). 12
4. Selected Priority Actions of SFFSN: Food Availability � Improving access to farm land through land redistribution to the food- insecure and landless (through social concessions). � Strengthening the sustainable access to common property resources (forestry/fisheries) for the poor and food-insecure � Intensifying and diversifying small holder farming systems: � Improved access to farm inputs + promotion of low-input techniques (SRI, IPM etc.); � Enhanced access to low-interest micro-loans, extension packages and services adapted to needs and capacities of food-insecure farmers; � Improved access to market/information). � Strengthening organizations and self-management capacities of food- insecure farmers and communities. � Targeting investment for small-scale irrigation to food-insecure communities, specifically in drought prone areas. � Improving access to adequate water resources at farm level (e.g. through ponds and wells for micro-irrigation, aquaculture etc.) � Improving post harvest management (storage and food processing) to minimize crop losses and add value � Streamlining and enforcement of regulations with regard to food safety (and agricultural input safety). 13
Selected Priority Actions of SFFSN (Cont.) Food Access and Stability � Creating new rural income sources for the poor specifically those without access to land and other production assets. � Promotiing micro-enterprise business opportunities for food-insecure households (esp. women). � Setting up targeted safety nets for the most vulnerable households (food distribution to vulnerable groups, food/cash for work schemes, school feeding/take home rations health equity funds and other social transfer mechanisms, etc.) 14
Selected Priority Actions of SFFSN (Cont.) Utilization/Use of Food � Scaling up maternal and child nutrition interventions (early and exclusive breastfeeding, appropriate complementary feeding, Vitamin A supplementation for children and postpartum women, Iron Folate supplementation for women ..) � Reducing micronutrient deficiencies (sustain universal salt iodization, develop, scale up pilots on iron fortification (fish sauce/soy sauce) Vitamin A fortification) � Promoting dietary diversification through homestead food production (vegetable gardening and small livestock production). � Improving access to safe water and hygiene toilets and health and hygiene education. 15
