However, there is still debate among governments and donors about the impact of school feeding programs and whether they are cost-effective.

This Policy Seminar will review the latest evidence on the impact and cost effectiveness of school feeding programs and other school-related investments and will examine the implications for relevant policy decisions.Read more
