Book (stand-alone)Tasty and waste-free food – The alternative to improve the use of public resources in School Feeding Programmes in Latin America and the Caribbean
Case studies in three countries
2021Also available in:
The inclusion of gastronomy in the School Feeding Programs (PAE) of Latin America and the The Caribbean is a way of strengthening these programs, by improving their efficiency through increase in acceptance and intake in menus and decrease in food waste. In this context and with the objective of guiding the countries of the region in the inclusion of gastronomy in their own PAE, this publication presents three case studies in Chile, Colombia and Guatemala. Taking into account the current COVID-19 pandemic context, this publication also includes a food safety guide intended to be applied in the different modalities of the SAPs as long as schools are back to normal. The guide is divided into three sections: 1) Planning the reopening, 2) Implementation of good practices that guarantee the application of the principles of food safety and reduce the spread of COVID-19 and 3) Monitoring actions and follow-up during reopening. These guidelines are a compilation of the evidence so far available that will serve as support in this great task of continuing with the vital delivery of food to the students. -

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 interrupted the years of international cooperation that sought to achieve food security in Latin America and the Caribbean. Due to the emergency, economic changes occurred in the involvement of institutions in developing School Feeding Programmes (SFPs), food delivery and creating safe classrooms.The project built upon the Government of Brazil’s technical cooperation in the region, supporting the implementation of programmes and public policies to ensure adequate and healthy food for students and their families. It also promoted local economic development through direct purchases from family farmers.This South-South Cooperation in capacity development and gender equality led to a school feeding network in the region. This network involves 26 countries engaging in activities and dialogue on the subject and has contributed to reducing poverty and malnutrition. -

No results found.School feeding programmes in the Caribbean, as elsewhere, have long been established and recognised as an important instrument in facilitating learning, especially for poor and vulnerable school children. More recently, in Latin America and the Caribbean, while school feeding programmes (SFPs) maintain their original purpose, the goals of these programmes, as well as the forms of delivery of the assistance have evolved. Experience with SFPs elsewhere, primarily in Brazil, has prompted Caribbean governments to consider SFPs as an integral part of their social protection and development strategy.
