Case studies
This report quantifies the multi-sectoral costs and benefits of Namibia’s National School Feeding Programme (NSFP), including its home-grown pilot model. Findings show NSFP beneficiaries complete 0.8 more years of education and experience improved health, with around 700 anaemia cases averted per 1,000 children over seven years. The programme yields a high return: every NAD 1 invested generates NAD 10–14 in long-term benefits. The HGSF model further supports local farmers and vendors, offering an added transfer of NAD 285 per child per year.
