School feeding menu booklet for Addis Ababa – 2025

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.
