Haiti - Social : Canada supports the WFP School Feeding Program 23/06/2012 13:12:09
"Canada is proud to support the School Feeding Program in Haiti to help prevent hunger and chronic malnutrition," declared Minister Oda. "We know the WFP's school feeding approach has a direct impact on learning capacities and academic performance, which makes this initiative all the more valuable." With the support of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), this program helps reduce nutritional deficits among schoolchildren, improve learning outcomes, and increase attendance in primary schools. The program promotes local agriculture by purchasing up to 25% of its rice requirements from local Haitian producers. Today's announcement, totalling $15 million, delivers on Canada's objectives related to food security, as well as those related to children and youth. It will also help strengthen national school feeding efforts managed by the Haitian Ministry of Education.
