| description |
This report presents an assessment of
school feeding policies and institutions that affect young
children in Jordan. The analysis is based on a World Bank
tool developed as part of the Systems Approach for Better
Education Results (SABER)an initiative that aims to
systematically assess education systems against
evidence-based global standards and goodpractice to assist
countries in reforming their education systems for proper
learning for all. School feeding policies are a critical
component of an effective education system, given that
children's health and nutrition impact their school
attendance, ability to learn, and overall development. A
school feeding program is a specific schoolbasedhealth
service, which can be part of a country’s broader school
health program, and often a large amount ofresources is
invested in a school feeding program. SABER–School Feeding
collects, analyzes, and disseminates comprehensive
information on school feeding policies around the world. The
overall objective of the initiative is to helpcountries
design effective policies to improve their education
systems, facilitate comparative policy analysis, identify
keyareas to focus investment, and assist in disseminating
good practice.In late 2013, the World Food Programme (WFP)
launched a Revised WFP School Feeding Policy that
incorporates SABER–School Feeding. The revised policy
requires every WFP country office with a school feeding
component to undertake apolicy dialogue with the Education
Sector in the country as part of capacity building
activities. WFP decided to use SABER–School Feeding as one
of their policy tools to guide the policy dialogue and to
assess in a more systematic way the transition of school
feeding programs to national ownership and/or the
strengthening of national school feeding programs. WFP will
integrate this tool into their project preparation from 2015
onwards. There are five core policy goals form the basis of
an effective school feeding program. The first goal is a
national policy framework.The second policy goal for school
feeding is financial capacity.The third policy goal is
institutional capacity and coordination.The fourth policy
goal is sound design and implementation.The last policy goal
is community roles—reaching beyond schools. |
