Cambodia, 1999. J. Koelen. FAO Capacity building for knowledge

  Capacity building for the government and judiciary, NGOs, the media, the private sector and other stakeholders, is crucial for realizing the right to food. This includes training for nutritionists, food safety experts, other professionals working in food and nutrition, and officials such as policy-makers and administrators.

  Trained representatives of the media can deliver a more accurate picture of the right to food, as being a matter of empowerment, not of handouts. Trained government officials will understand their own roles in implementing the right to food, and their obligation to provide the public, including those who are most marginalized and vulnerable, with full and unbiased information.
