    Progressively more countries are reportedly incorporating school-based food and nutrition education (SFNE) into their education, nutrition and school feeding policies, acknowledging its role in impacting children’s food outlooks and practices, and that of their parents, families and the community. Despite this increasing interest and global recognition, there is no clear picture of SFNE implementation at school level, which makes it challenging to identify gaps, take corrective measures, make reforms or introduce new policy initiatives. Framed under FAO’s school food and nutrition work, the aim of the survey was to determine the current role, approach, scope and linkages of government run SFNE in a sample of low- and middle-income countries. In particular, this survey is part of the package of outputs that FAO developed to establish the foundation for reshaping and carrying the SFNE work forward, in terms of effectiveness and scope.

    Using the Brazilian National School Feeding Programme (PNAE) as reference, this study highlights the need for greater multisectoral collaboration, while addressing specific issues such as coverage, targeting, nutrition standards and guidelines, local procurement, food and nutrition education (FNE), policy frameworks and institutional arrangements. All of these are essential for the best implementation strategy of school food and nutrition (SFN) programmes in Africa.
