Pliiiom Penli 59 Aug• There is strong and high level support for a comprehensive approach in dealing with food security and nutrition.• Progress made on all fronts. Virtually all priority actions are underway, but national coverage is uneven and very few measures of progress towards national targets are available. • Progress reporting is strongest for agricultural production, health programmes and WASH.• Food Availability: Good progress in terms of agricultural production, but lacking diversity• WASH performance on track, basic hygiene practices exceed the target for 2018, and sanitation targets for 2016 exceeded.4• Access and Utilization are ongoing challenges. Availability and production are the main focus of current thinking and reporting• Stability: Occasional disaster situations and shocks have occurred where the food insecure and the vulnerable are particularly at risk (such as the drought event in 2016)• Limited implementation and funding of programmes from domestic sources, excepting health, challenge to finance implementation of programmes at scale• Sub-national linkages dialogue and support need strengthening • Need to focus on results – not inputs and outputs.  The language of the NSFSN focuses on priority ‘actions’ – not outcomes or results• Capacity building required at all levelsChallengesProgress to datePASTSituation• Impressive strides in national growth and ongoing progress on food security and nutrition; but• Uneven growth and food security and nutritional status across the country and for different demographic and socio-economic groups• Lagging behind on some human development indicators• Risks in case of crisis• Drivers of economic growth may not be sustainable without enhanced investment in human capital, including a particular emphasis on nutrition, to maintain productivity and competitiveness• Migration and urbanization are key considerations• For the urban poor, access to water, sanitation and health facilities are sometimes constrained;• Urbanization also has some adverse implications for the nutrition of children, with rates of exclusive breastfeeding lowest in Phnom Penh• Cambodia has also seen changing dietary practices toward more convenience foods, an increasing trend towards obesity especially among women, and heightened risks of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)• Pace of climate change in the next 40 years is likely to be faster than the adaptation of local agricultural methodologies.  There is a high risk the impact of natural disasters will be exacerbated by ongoing environmental degradationEmerging trendsPRESENTPrzvaleriri1%)Ian805ago2::looo 2005..wasiiiig osmiiiiiigzmoAnaemiamax.1.

Strengthening food security and nutrition governance arrangementsSDG2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture (5 subgoals)Goal 2.2. By 2030, to end all forms of malnutrition, including achieving, by 2025, the internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age, and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and older persons. Nutrition could be considered an ‘accelerator’ and accorded the highest priority so that it makes a further positive contribution to SDGs 3 (health), 4 (education), 5 (gender equality), 8 (decent work), 9 (industry) and 10 (inequality).
