This report presents the latest estimates on food insecurity, hunger and malnutrition at the global and regional levels. It also presents an in-depth analysis of the impacts of economic slowdowns and downturns on food security and nutrition. 

This resource framework is intended as a guidance tool for the design, implementation and monitoring of home-grown school feeding programmes. It aims to exploit the potential of school feeding in alleviating rural poverty by supporting the development of home-grown school feeding (HGSF). 

This paper is a product of the international expert consultation “Stepping up School-based Food and Nutrition Education: Exploring Challenges, Finding Solutions and Building Partnerships,” developed by FAO in collaboration with the UAEU to develop a shared vision of effective school-based food and nutrition education (SFNE) and its future in low and middle-income countries

In a comprehensive literature review published in March 2015, the REFANI consortium partners identified what was currently known about the nutritional impact of cash transfer programmes (CTPs) in food assistance and nutrition programming, as well as the gaps that remain in the existing evidence base.

This Sourcebook is the third analysis of school feeding programs by the World Bank, PCD and WFP. It analyses case studies in fourteen different countries in order to describe the immense diversity of approaches that are used by national programs, and understand the strengths and challenges of implementing national programs at scale.

World Food Programme (WFP) has compiled a series of case studies detailing good practice throughout their 45+ years of leading school feeding programmes.

The overall objective of this handbook is to inform the design and implementation of cost-effective, affordable, sustainable and scalable school feeding programmes.

This evaluation sought to identify how WFPs school feeding might effectively address the needs of people in emergency contexts, with a view to learning from current practices and improving future implementation.

Pages 11-12 of this compendium of indicators contain output and outcome indicators for in-school feeding, school feeding take home rations and food for training, including literacy and numeracy programmes, which can be used for monitoring and evaluation.

These guidelines have been prepared in recognition of the widespread use of SF in WFP’s emergency relief and rehabilitation operations. They are designed to guide WFP country offices in deciding whether or not to utilize SF in an emergency setting and, if so, how best to design and implement such a programme.
