Institutional development:support for design and implementation includes policies, standards, capacity building to fund, manage and implement school feeding 1. 2. 3. 13

  14. PURCHASE FOR PROGRESS OBJECTIVES • Identify and share best practices for agriculture markets stakeholders to increase profitable engagement in markets • Improve capacities in order to raise income from agriculture markets • Increase farmers’ sales to WFP • Transform WFP food purchase programmes P4P focuses on smallholder and low-income farmers

  15. Activities • Competitive tendering practices • Purchasing directly • Contracting for risk reduction • Processing options Cross-cutting activities: Partnerships & Training; Monitoring and Evaluation; Policy Advice & Advocacy

  16. Countries that are advanced in the transition to national ownership (Africa)

  17. Next steps • USDA missions in four countries: Ghana, Kenya, Mali and Uganda in partnership with WFP/GATES • These missions will assess and establish a clear link between home-grown school feeding, P4P, new generation school feeding
