during class as well as correct hand-washing practices in these schools.
The evaluation of the MCN programme resulted in the following recommendations for future similar programmes:
· More consistent communications, deliberate involvement of other sectors (e.g., agriculture), consideration of
locally available foods, and increased coordination.
· Training and messaging could be improved by being tailored to specific types of sub-groups through a heavier
focus on interpersonal communication, and delivered in local languages and through pictures/visual images in
recognition of lower literacy rates.
· Strong coordination at all steps of the supply chain is important for ensuring timely delivery of food rations and
should be coupled with clear communications to beneficiaries.
· Continuation of integrated support by various sectors to address poverty, household food insecurity, and the high
burden of disease.
The evaluation of the LFBSM programme resulted in the followings recommendations:
· Strengthening awareness about the importance of micronutrient-rich plants through promoting green school
gardens so as to integrate the school cooperation and healthy school canteen programmes.
· Improving activities intended to promote health and nutrition should use local languages and involve the teachers
and parents' associations.
· Involving the schoolchildren, teachers and parents' associations as well as the women's welfare associations to
create a variety of recipes. Health centre staff should be involved in calculating the nutrient content of the recipes.
· Increasing awareness by introducing regular incentives for the cooks as compensation for their time and workload.
· Increasing the size of budget allocations provided by local governments, particularly to provide fresh food items, to
provide cooks with incentives, and provide cooking facilities to lessen the burden on communities.
· Strengthening coordination between health offices at all levels to continue the distribution of deworming tablets
intended to improve the nutritional status of schoolchildren.
WFP has advocated for the incorporation of these recommendations into ongoing progarmmes being implemented
by the Ministries of Health and Education. Advocacy directed at the national level aims to promote a national policy
dialogue, while in sub-national locations where prototypes were piloted during 2012–2015 the advocacy is intended
to influence operational considerations such as encouraging local governments to allocate sufficient budget in
support of their commitment to the programmes.
