  2. The big picture

  3. 26 million WFP beneficiaries

  4. 30billiondollars invested At least 20 billion invested in APEC countries 57% 26% 15% 2% Source: Global School Feeding Survey; sample: 96 countries

  5. Preliminary analysis Relative cost of school feeding decreases with GDP growth • Low-income countries exhibit large variations in cost • Very sharp decrease in relative costs of school feeding as GDP increases • Supporting countries through transition is a key role for development agencies Ratio of per child cost of school feeding in relation to per child cost of basic education, versus GDP per capita. Source: The GDP per capita (purchasing power parity, constant 2005 international $) and the education costs per child are from the World Bank WDI, and the school feeding costs are from the Global school feeding survey and the WFP cost benchmark. Some of the figures are planned costs

  6. Every day, 84 million children eat a school meal in APEC countries Source: Global School Feeding Survey; only APEC countries available in sample

  7. 38 countries scaled-up school feeding as a response to a crisis Source: Global School Feeding Survey; sample: 82 countries

  13. Key messages (1/2) • There are 330 million children receiving school feeding worldwide. • Governments are the biggest implementers of school feeding and WFP supports them. • There are encouraging signs of governments acquiring ownership of the programme. However there is still a long way to go, mainly in Africa. Huge investment in school feeding: 30 billion worldwide. Investment in Africa is low (USD 600 million) compared to the rest of the World. If translated into an investment in local markets through local purchases, school feeding becomes a huge potential market for food stuffs in the region. • School feeding gets less expensive as countries develop. Donors’ support is still needed in low-income countries that cannot afford the programme yet.

  14. Key messages (2/2) School feeding was a very important coping mechanism after the 2008 food crisis. Framing of school feeding programmes changes across regions. Education is the main objective, followed by social protection and nutrition. • Policy/legal framework is crucial for the programme institutionalization. • Governments not necessarily take over WFP implementation approach. WFP is piloting new implementation approaches that are easily transferable to governments. • Community involvement exists but assessing how meaningful this participation is is still a research gap.
