The Cambodia Nutrition Project (CNP) is a seven-year, US$62.5 million project to anchor the RGC’s enhanced and coordinated response to accelerate the human capital formation focusing on maternal and child health and nutrition (MCHN) in the early years.  The CNP addresses Cambodia’s persistent high levels of stunting and aims to close equity gaps in nutrition, routine immunization, and neonatal survival. The MOH and the National Committee for Sub-national Democratic Development (NCDDS) of the Ministry of Interior are the implementing agencies. As the absence of community health promotion and service delivery remains a fundamental bottleneck to improving health and nutrition outcomes. 

The Cambodia Nutrition Project (CNP)’s overall objective was to provide a combined set of supply and demand-side interventions targeted to improve the utilization and quality of identified priority maternal and child health and nutrition services for targeted groups in Cambodia. With the completion of the baseline study in 2022, the purpose of the CNP midline qualitative study is to generate qualitative and process-related data for contextualizing the impact evaluation findings stemming from Cambodia Nutrition Project (CNP) implementation from baseline through mid/endline assessment periods. The three distinct provinces for midline qualitative study are Koh Kong, Mondolkiri, and Steung Streng.
