Achievements of the School Meals Coalition: From inception to impact

Since its launch in 2021, the School Meals Coalition has driven transformative change across more than 110 countries and 160 partners, expanding school meal programmes, increasing funding, and strengthening local food systems. The Achievements Report highlights national progress where governments are scaling coverage, investing in local procurement, and piloting innovations in sustainability and programme quality. It also documents how Coalition initiatives are supporting governments through evidence generation, stronger data systems, and cross-regional collaboration, advancing global efforts to combat hunger, improve education, and deliver on the 2030 goal of healthy, nutritious meals for every child.
