Description
This event will examine the linkages between the food system and the evolution of a system of shock responsive social protection in Cambodia. These linkages have been shown to be critically important in the context of COVID-19 restrictions in Cambodia as lockdowns and market closures jeoparised access to perishable foods for periods of strict lockdown in parts of Phnom Penh. Social assistance measures evolved rapidly in the face of these challenges, providing opportunities for learning and ongoing strengthening of social safety nets.
