FIDR staff introducing the Cambodian Food-Based Dietary Guidelines for school-aged children at the workshop

Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN), a movement which was launched by the United Nations initiative to strengthen political commitment and accountability for nutrition improvement, has been recently expanding in the world. Now such movements have been started in 60 countries while some NGOs dealing with nutrition improvement cooperated and started SUN Civil Society Alliance (SUNCSA) in Cambodia in 2017. FIDR also works on nutrition improvement and takes part in SUNCSA as a member of it.

From 5th to 6th of April, in the workshop to talk about future efforts and midterm report of the 4-year strategy regarding food security and nutrition, FIDR announced about Food Based Dietary Guidelines and efforts on promotion of nutrition education.

Participants showed their interests on IEC materials and the development process of Cambodian FBDG

Our team is supposed to make a report about a case in the 7th Asian Congress of Dietetics in Hong Kong in July, and our efforts in Cambodia are going to be internationally introduced at the conference.
