Synopsis (short abstract) This study was undertaken to identify possible approaches for the development of activities on the right to food in the Kingdom of Cambodia, using the gender policies and initiatives now at work in the country as an entry point. The analysis takes into account the Cambodian legal framework in relation to food security, national policies in matters related to food security, and social protection and gender policies for promoting the advancement and empowerment of women. It also considers the inte rsection between national gender policies and the ongoing process of Deconcentration and Decentralization. The study is supported by primary data obtained from various stakeholders, including institutional representatives and representatives of development organizations and civil society. Brief fieldwork was conducted to gather first-hand information from rural women and subnational authorities in charge of gender and food security.
