The road back from the damage caused by COVID-19 will be long, and uneven. One of the most important contributions to recovery governments and partners can make, is re-establishing school meals programmes. These programs work. They change lives, for children, and communities. Simply put, restoring and re-establishing school meals programmes is among the most important contributions the world can make to secure the future for our children and our societies.

Membership in the School Meals Coalition will be open to stakeholders willing to align themselves with the goals and objectives of the Coalition.

Learn more about how to join the Coalition: Member States sign the “Declaration of Commitment” and Non-Government partners sign the “Declaration of Support”.
