Food for Education Project
Primary Activities:
16. School Feeding: will feed 60,000 students in Maputo Province 100 grams
of fortified corn-soy blend each school day, supplying protein and
essential micronutrients. School attendance is expected to rise to 80%.
17. School Gardening: will develop school gardens in 50 participating
schools. This will benefit14,000 students and 70,000 community
members.
18. School Feeding Committees: will organize committees at each of the
230 participating schools, who will ensure delivery of food and
compliance with program requirements.
22. Nutrition Education: will carry out a nationwide education program on
basic nutrition, food hygiene and safety, and diet and disease.
23. Monitoring and Evaluation
Example indicators:
• Percent of students who pass a reading test
• Comparison of test scores among students taught by ADPP
trained teachers versus regular teachers
• Percent increase in regular school attendance
24. Government Capacity Building
• Workshops for officials at
all levels
• Encouragement to
exchange experiences
and learn from successes
• Build on existing
cooperation and
momentum
• Basis for development of
a nationwide school
feeding program

capacity and of the caliber produced by the ADPP colleges.”

27. Leveraging Public-Private Partnerships
• Engage private sector
to support school
feeding and teacher
training
• Build on experience
with companies such
as Johnson & Johnson,
Microsoft, and Nokia
28. Conclusion
To reduce hunger and improve literacy in accordance with
the overall goals of the McGovern-Dole Food for Education
program, school feeding must occur within a holistic context
that provides:
• Qualified and skilled teachers
• Organized and supportive parent-teacher committees
• Development of local food sources to provide nutritional
balance
• Nutrition lessons implemented at the school level
• Infrastructure to supply clean water and improved sanitation
• Ownership by all stakeholders, including teachers, students,
parents, local communities, and government officials
