The paper emphasizes the need for sustainable financial solutions and collaborative efforts involving international financial institutions, donors and innovative financing schemes to bridge the funding gap and ensure the long-term success of school meal programmes in West Africa.
The publication "Ensuring Sustainable Financing of School Meals in West Africa" explores the importance of Home-Grown School Feeding (HGSF) programmes, which provide nutritious, locally-sourced meals to schoolchildren. These programmes support local economies and enhance children's education and health. Despite their potential benefits, securing adequate funding remains a challenge.
