Workshop on Enhancing Collaboration for Effective Implementation of the Cambodian Food Control System In July 2024, FAEA, in partnership with the Cambodian Ministry of Commerce and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, hosted a three-day workshop in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The "National Workshop on Enhancing Collaboration for Effective Implementation of the Cambodian Food Control System" brought together over 80 stakeholders from government, academia, industry and civil society to address the modernization of Cambodia's food safety system. The workshop focused on several key objectives: fostering information sharing, building capacity among stakeholders and improving coordination among multiple government agencies. Participants engaged in discussions, SWOT analyses and breakout sessions that identified challenges and developed actionable solutions to strengthen Cambodia’s food safety framework. Key achievements of the workshop included the formulation of an action plan for the continued modernization of Cambodia’s food safety system. The plan emphasized the creation of technical teams to develop new regulations, perform national risk assessments and establish coordinated inspection programs. The workshop also highlighted the need for interministerial collaboration and the involvement of experts from various sectors in the rule-making process. The event underscored Cambodia’s commitment to aligning its food safety regulations with international standards, protecting public health and enhancing the country's global trade capabilities. As a next step, FAEA will work with Cambodian authorities to refine and implement the action plan, ensuring that the proposed measures are practical, impactful and aligned with the nation’s development goals.
