From Evidence to Policy |
| description |
Policymakers and development
organizations have embraced school feeding programs as a way
to help poor children get enough to eat while giving them an
incentive to be in school. The programs are not just used in
developing countries the United States began implementing
school feeding programs in the 19th century and still uses
them today for poor children. The popularity of these
programs, which in some countries include take-home rations
for households whose children attend school, make it
imperative that we answer basic questions about the
effectiveness of these programs. Do they boost enrollment
and if so, are take-home rations as good as offering
in-school meals? A proper lunch can ward off hunger, but is
it enough to make up for years of nutritional deprivation?
Children who aren't hungry can focus better in school
does this mean they will do better in their classes? The
World Bank is committed to the United Nations Mil-lennium
Goals and support research that can help countries devise
policies to reach these goals, including gender equality,
child health and a primary school education for every child.
As part of this, they support evaluations of programs
designed to encourage children to enroll in school while
helping boost their daily nutritional intake. |
