The Department of Planning and Cooperation of Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry’s Soum Son Seun Jai (SSSJ) Programme is jointly funded by IFAD, the Luxembourg Government and WFP and aims at contributing to the reduction of extreme poverty and hunger in two provinces in Laos targeting 17,000 poor rural households living in 225 target villages.
The programme has developed and recently launched an innovative video series linking agriculture and nutrition through a multi-sectoral approach. Working multi-sectoral towards improving nutrition is on the top agenda of the Government and development partners alike. Malnutrition rates are particularly high in remote rural areas and in ethnic communities. Currently, every second child in rural areas is stunted. The series allows the programme to scale up the support to its nutrition sensitive interventions by reaching out to a larger number of poor households in a consistent and efficient manner using broadcasting technology.
