Description

In July 2000, Pres. Clinton proposed a Global Food for Educ. Initiative (GFEI) whereby developed countries would provide school breakfasts or lunches to needy children in poor countries. The goal is to contribute to universal educ. by using school meals to attract children to school, keep them attending once they enroll, and improve learning. This report examines: lessons that can be drawn from expert views on the effectiveness and cost of school feeding programs in promoting these goals; the extent to which the U.S. pilot program (PP) has built upon these lessons; whether the PP is being managed so as to ensure that the food aid and proceeds are efficiently used; and the views of other major donors regarding support for a comprehensive, long-term GFEI.
