First of all, a special thanks to all of the parents and children who participated in the household survey and who have given the evaluation team insight to their daily life and shared with us opinions that are related to the school feeding programme in Cambodia. Without their participation, this study would not have been possible to conduct. On a related note, we would like to express our gratitude to Helen Keller International and Kampuchean Action for Primary Education for partnering with DARA on this assignment. The evaluation team highly appreciates those public institutions in Cambodia which participated in the evaluation process, namely the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Agriculture, including their respective representations in the provinces of Prey Veng and Siem Reap. Our gratitude also goes to the National Commission for Social Safety-Net Strategy. Opinions and views from all of these entities have helped us contextualise the school feeding programme within national strategies and programmes. The team would also like thank World Food Programme (WFP) staff in different units at the headquarter level in Rome, as well as in the regional office in Bangkok, for participating in the process and sharing their opinions and views on the evaluation process and results.
