The primary aim of the evaluation was to build common understanding of: i) the contribution of school feeding to development objectives; ii) the comparative costs incurred by Government and communities in implementing school feeding programmes; iii) the design adjustments that Government and its partners should make to integrate school feeding into its national social protection agenda; iv) the most appropriate and efficient institutional arrangements of managing and implementing an efficient national school feeding programme in future, and; v) the most appropriate approach WFP and government should take to develop a transition strategy towards a fully Government funded and implemented SFP in future.
The evaluation, which makes several recommendations for the future, was managed by the WFP Lesotho Country Office and conducted by independent consultants, with fieldwork taking place in February 2018.
