    Prices of rice have generally been stable since the beginning of 2010, but are higher than the pre-high food crises period. Political tensions with Thailand continue. Moreover Cambodia's paddy crop was adversely affected by late rains and this could result in higher levels of food insecurity. GIEWS assessed that there is generally satisfactory food security throughout the country while other agencies agree that in the long term hunger will increase. The Government has implemented the Recta ngular Strategy-Phase II to scale up rice production and has expanded social protection programmes to support vulnerable people.

    In the context of an existential funding crisis, soaring levels of humanitarian need and a spiralling number of extreme weather events, each dollar spent must go further. There is key evidence showing that anticipatory action provides a cost-effective and efficient way for life‑saving assistance that addresses humanitarian needs while strengthening resilience to predictable risks. Strong interagency coordination amplifies these benefits by improving resource allocation, reducing duplication of efforts, and fostering a more cohesive and timelier, prioritized response.The publication provides a non-exhaustive list of findings drawn from evidence generated by FAO, OCHA, WFP and other organizations, reflecting broad insights and experiences from across the sector.
