School Meals Case Study: Cameroon
Case studies

Cameroon, like many other countries, has adopted School Meals Programmes las a safety net to support education, food and nutrition security, social inclusion, and agricultural and economic development. While this reflects growing recognition of school feeding as a policy tool, the scale and coverage of programmes remain limited. In 2025, the National School Feeding Strategy was adopted to provide strategic guidance and a clearer framework for the development and coordination of such initiatives.

The objectives of this case study include presenting an introduction to the country profile, outlining the design and implementation of school feeding programmes, describing their monitoring and evaluation processes, and highlighting lessons learned, best practices, and challenges.
