Strategic Meeting - School Feeding: Feed Minds, Change Lives.

No child should go to school hungry. WFP knows from experience that School Feeding Programmes can make a significant contribution to combat hunger. WFP is convening this strategic meeting to bring together 25 or so advocates for the hungry to identify the main challenges and way forward so that national school feeding programmes can be scaled up to ensure that no child should go to school hungry.
