Description
By 2030, the National Agency for Grassroots Development Support (ANADEB), with the support of its partners, is committed to guaranteeing community meals to 23.5% of Togolese schoolchildren by promoting local purchases of quality food and targeting areas vulnerable to food insecurity as a priority. This commitment reflects a government priority to triple the number of schools and students receiving school meals. Fulfilling the commitment involves:
• Mobilising funding to implement the national school feeding programme and enabling the expansion to new schools.
• Promoting local purchases to boost the local economy.
• Promoting local food in the eyes of children.
• Reducing the cost of school feeding.
• Guaranteeing the quality of the oil and salt delivered, which must comply with national fortification standards.
• Specifying the targeting of schools by giving priority to those where food and nutritional insecurity is the most significant, in accordance with the guidelines given by the PNSMN and the school feeding law.
• Advocating for the inclusion of secondary schools in the canteen programme to improve the nutritional status of adolescent girls.
• Promoting nutrition education in training programmes.
• Continuing to distribute fruit at each meal, taking into account seasonal availability.
