  abstract = {{B}ackground {R}ates of childhood undernutrition are persistently high in {C}ambodia. {E}xisting ready-to-use supplementary and therapeutic foods ({RUSF}s and {RUTF}s) have had limited acceptance and effectiveness. {T}herefore, our project developed and trialled a locally-produced, multiple micronutrient fortified lipid-based nutrient supplement ({LNS}) with therapeutic and supplementary versions. {T}his ready-to-use food ({RUF}) is innovative in that, unlike many {RUF}s, it contains fish instead of milk. {D}evelopment began in 2013 and the {RUF} was finalised in 2015. {F}rom 2015 until the present, both the {RUTF} and the {RUSF} versions were trialled for acceptability and effectiveness. {M}ethods {T}his paper draws on project implementation records and semi-structured interviews to describe the partnership between the {C}ambodian {M}inistries of {H}ealth and {A}griculture, {F}orestry and {F}isheries, {UNICEF}, the {F}rench {N}ational {R}esearch {I}nstitute for {S}ustainable {D}evelopment ({IRD}), universities, and {V}issot factory. {I}t discusses the project implementation and lessons learned from the development and trialling process, and insights into positioning nutrition on the health agenda in low and middle-income countries. {R}esults {T}he lessons learned relate to the importance of project planning, management, and documentation in order to seize opportunities in the research, policy, advocacy, and programming environment while ensuring adequate day-to-day project administration and resourcing. {C}onclusions {W}e conclude that projects such as ours, that collaborate to develop and test novel, locally-produced {RUTF}s and {RUSF}s, offer an exciting opportunity to respond to both local programmatic and broader research needs.},
