Overview
School Feeding Programs are one of
the several universal interventions
aiming at improving the health and
nutritional status of children.

health and nutrition programs were,
and are still, being implemented in
coordination between national,
international and non-governmental
organizations.
One of the most recent school-based
programs is The Pacoh School Milk

Lessons learned

Education & awareness activities should be an integral part

of any SFP
Students are the primary target of the school milk program.
Also, awareness activities should include parents as well as
the local community.
Networking & partnerships with several stakeholders is of
crucial importance in order to reach a national ownership.
Processors Association should be aware and informed
Success of the program on the school level depends on 2
major conditions:

The school commitment,

Teachers enthusiasm
