Evaluation of Local Purchasing and School Canteen Pilot Project in Petite Rivière de Nippes, Report 3 of 3
- The pilot was financed by the Government of Brazil until the end of 2017 and implemented with WFP, the Bureau de Nutrition et Développement and ROPANIP.
- Major Recommendation 1 is to make the feeding program truly local by working through third-party organizations that can harness the local street food industry.
- Major Recommendation 2 is to use local measures in purchasing and rationing foods instead of a system based on weights.
- Major Recommendations 3 and 4 are to promote local processing of manioc, sweet potato, millet, breadfruit and peanut flours, and to organize women's groups linked to a voucher system.
- 97% of parents reported always or usually feeding the children before sending them to school.
This is the third of three reports on the longitudinal evaluation of a local procurement school feeding pilot in Nippes for 2015 to 2017. Until the end of 2017 the pilot was financed by the Government of Brazil, with oversight and logistics from WFP, the Bureau de Nutrition et Développement and ROPANIP, which coordinates purchases from farmer associations. The report analyzes seven focus groups with children, school directors, market women and an association, and it presents four major recommendations.
They call for making the program truly local, using local measures in purchasing and rationing, promoting the processing of high-yield local staples into flours, and organizing women's groups linked to a voucher system. It also reports that 97% of parents always or usually feed children before school.
