Abstract:
The Ethiopian School Feeding Program (SFP) is designed to provide nutritious meals that enhance the
health, education, and development of schoolchildren. The program aims to improve physical health,
support cognitive development, and boost academic performance, especially for students from low-income
families. It plays a crucial role in improving school attendance by ensuring that children receive balanced
meals, helping to reduce hunger-related distractions during the school day. The program also fosters social
equity by offering meals to children who may not have access to sufficient food at home.
