Paper
This framing paper, developed by the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), outlines the key role of school meals programmes in fragile and conflict-affected settings, while investigating their contribution to peace and social cohesion.
It highlights the main risks and opportunities of school feeding in emergency contexts and identifies potential pathways through which school meals can not only achieve their primary objectives, but also foster peace and social cohesion, emphasizing the importance of conflict-sensitive programming and further evidence-generation.
