National Commitments

Declaration signed by the Ministry of General Education & Instruction
• Continue advocating for an increased budgetary allocation toward the education sector from the national treasury, including for school feeding management costs at the national and sub-national levels.
• Develop comprehensive policies to support school health and nutrition, including the school feeding national guidelines.
• Participate in multi-sectoral policy dialogues and ensure the inclusion of school-based services and resource requirements in multi-sectoral policies (e.g. agriculture, nutrition, and social protection).
• Establish, build capacity, and sustain multi-sectoral and partner school feeding stakeholder coordination structures at the national and subnational levels.
• Maximize the impact of school feeding programmes on the local market through the development of the local school feeding commodity supply chains with a bias towards small-scale and female producers.
• Strengthen peer to peer exchange and learning activities with other countries and global school feeding stakeholders on impactful and sustainable nationally-owned school feeing programmes (e.g., study visits, conferences, case studies and technical assistance).
• Support and build relationships with national, regional and international academic institutions for evidence generation and learning for advocacy, adapting programming and resource mobilization from the national budget and partners, including the adoption of digitized tools for showcasing results.
