 Global Surge in School Meal Programs 


The World Food Programme (WFP) reports a remarkable increase of 80 million children now benefiting from national school meal programs worldwide, with 60% of this growth occurring in the past two years.


 Africa is at the forefront, with 20 million additional children in countries like Kenya, Madagascar, Ethiopia, and Rwanda receiving meals through these initiatives.


This global success, driven by governments, highlights the wide-ranging benefits of school meal programs.


 Beyond improving children's health and education, these programs boost local economies by supporting small-scale farmers and creating jobs, while promoting sustainable, planet-friendly diets that reduce carbon emissions.


WFP Executive Director Cindy McCain said  governments, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, are leading the way by investing in these cost-effective programs, which enhance long-term health, education, and economic prosperity. 


He said WFP is proud to support this global movement through the School Meals Coalition and urges more nations to join.


The initiative underscores a powerful, evidence-based approach to tackling poverty and fostering sustainable development for future generations.
