Project Manager for Nutrition and Food Safety, Africa Union Development Agency - New partnership for African development , Ms Kefilwe Rhoba Moalosi disclosed this at the school feeding stakeholders strategic meeting themed:"Encouraging state-driven implementation and best practices for school feeding towards local agricultural value chain, community engagement and economic development.
She said;"Recent disruptions to African economies add traction to the movement and the need to think local-- especially in a continent where farming remains a top source of income and jobs, particularly for women. By working together, we can leverage our collective expertise and resources to develop comprehensive programs that address the multifaceted needs of our children--from nutrition and health to education and economic empowerment.
"We thank very much the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Office of the SSA to the President for collaborating with AUDA-NEPAD to domesticate the continental school feeding guidelines through the engagement of school feeding implementers, especially at community level to contribute to the food and nutrition security outcomes.
"By providing daily meals sourced from local farmers and producers, we ensure that our children receive the essential nutrients they need to thrive, both in schools and beyond. Each stakeholder brings unique resources and expertise to the table.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
