Description and results
Description
The Support for Jordan School Feeding initiative is both an in-kind support and a technical assistance project. It aims to provide improved social protection and poverty alleviation mechanisms for vulnerable populations of Jordan at the national and sub-national levels. The World Food Programme delivers direct food support, in the form of wheat and sugar, for the local production of fortified high-energy biscuits. These are then distributed by the Government of Jordan to primary school children. The World Food Programme also provides technical and strategic support that will enhance the Government of Jordan's capacity to deliver an efficient school feeding program with sustainable results. Support activities enables Jordan's national program to reach schoolchildren in the 66 sub-districts with the lowest food consumption and the highest rates of poverty. This ensures a safety net while encouraging children to stay in school.
Expected results
The expected results for this project include: (i) cover up to 60% of schools in areas with high poverty rates (66 sub-districts) through the national school-feeding program; (ii) train up to 250 men and women to use program design, planning and implementation procedures and practices; (iii) improve the rating for the National Capacity Index (measures progress against five quality standards) for school feeding. This initiative is expected to provide rations to up to 390,000 primary school boys and girls.
Results achieved
Results achieved as of June 2014 include: energy date bars were produced and distributed to about 30,000 students in 1,070 schools in all targeted directorates.
