Cooking
- During the training, the CNG will receive a cooking and milling set, purchased by the CLEAR. The cooking and milling set includes a cooking kit, a dish set (bowls, plates, spoons, etc.), a large mat or tarpaulin for the group to sit on, a mill (or grinder), a weighing scale, little storage containers, stationery and SBCC materials.
- If the CNG members want to prepare a take-home ratio (250g) they would need to pay a fee for flour (e.g. 2,000 Kip). The CNG committee would manage this money and use it to purchase food, such as milk or oil, or save it for operations and maintenance.
- They might deposit it in the VSMC account. In this way, there is cash flow for sustainability.
- CNGs will start to design monthly meal plans based on a list of promoted foods and the CNG cooking book.
In 2025, 321 community nutrition groups organized a total of 4,062 cooking events.
