Xinhua news agency reports the Khmer and English guidebook
highlights the general concept of food security and nutrition in simple
language for journalists and policy makers to understand.

enhance the journalists' knowledge for accurate reporting and
advocating issues such as child mortality, children and women's health,
nutrition and food security," said Cambodia UNESCO director Anne

and information to guide them on key issues and to lead them to
important information sources," Lemaistre said.

contribute towards helping Cambodia achieve the Millennium Development
Goals in eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, reducing child
