Description
By 2030, the Royal Government of Cambodia commits to improving the enabling environment, working with the private sector, supporting domestic production capabilities and promoting demand including the integration of fortified rice into institutional procurements to help ensure vulnerable communities have access to a nutrient-adequate diet, especially during emergencies and humanitarian crises.
To achieve this, the RGC will collaborate with partners to
- Develop a national food fortification strategy and national standard for fortified rice by 2027.
- Conduct a budget analysis and develop a costed action plan for food fortification initiatives, and identify potential funding sources, including budget allocations and private sector investments by 2027.
- Foster the enabling environment by monitoring quality and establishing private partnerships to fortify staple foods locally.
- Support the integration and scale up of fortified rice into the National Homegrown School Feeding Programme.
- Incrementally expand the integration of fortified foods in other institutional markets, including Cambodia’s Food Reserve System, ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve (APTERR), and other Social Protection programmes.
