Food for Education Project
Primary Activities:

16. School Feeding: will feed 60,000 students in Maputo Province 100 grams
of fortified corn-soy blend each school day, supplying protein and
essential micronutrients. School attendance is expected to rise to 80%.

17. School Gardening: will develop school gardens in 50 participating
schools. This will benefit14,000 students and 70,000 community
members.

18. School Feeding Committees: will organize committees at each of the
230 participating schools, who will ensure delivery of food and
compliance with program requirements.

19. Water/Sanitation: will construct water systems and latrines at 225
participating schools.

20. De-worming: will distribute de-worming tablets to 60,000 students twice
per school year.

21. Teacher Training: will train 4,000 primary school teachers at the 11
ADPP colleges.

22. Nutrition Education: will carry out a nationwide education program on
basic nutrition, food hygiene and safety, and diet and disease.

23. Monitoring and Evaluation
Example indicators:
• Percent of students who pass a reading test
• Comparison of test scores among students taught by ADPP
trained teachers versus regular teachers
• Percent increase in regular school attendance

24. Government Capacity Building
• Workshops for officials at
all levels
• Encouragement to
exchange experiences
and learn from successes
• Build on existing
cooperation and
momentum
• Basis for development of
a nationwide school
feeding program

26. “Our country urgently needs more educators with the
capacity and of the caliber produced by the ADPP colleges.”
—First Lady of Mozambique, Maria de luz Guebuza (2010)

27. Leveraging Public-Private Partnerships
• Engage private sector
to support school
feeding and teacher
training
• Build on experience
with companies such
as Johnson & Johnson,
Microsoft, and Nokia

28. Conclusion
To reduce hunger and improve literacy in accordance with
the overall goals of the McGovern-Dole Food for Education
program, school feeding must occur within a holistic context
that provides:
• Qualified and skilled teachers
• Organized and supportive parent-teacher committees
• Development of local food sources to provide nutritional
balance
• Nutrition lessons implemented at the school level
• Infrastructure to supply clean water and improved sanitation
• Ownership by all stakeholders, including teachers, students,
parents, local communities, and government officials
