Food insecurity, hunger and malnutrition are complex problems. In sub-Saharan Africa alone, 214 million people are chronically hungry and child and infant malnutrition rates are amongst the highest in the world. As part of a multipronged approach to addressing the challenge, the African Union’s New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) has adopted Home Grown School Feeding as part of its Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). There is a need to feed 50 million Afr ican schoolchildren. School Feeding Programmes (SFPs) to date have often relied heavily on development partners for funding and food provision.
