The Global Child Nutrition Foundation (GCNF) provides governments and their partners with knowledge, tools, and connections to build high-quality school meal programs that support all children and contribute to national educational, agricultural, economic, social protection, health, and nutrition goals.

Why School Meals
At least 407.8 million children worldwide receive food through their schools.

- School meal programs have potential to be key drivers of global food system transformation, fostering demand for nutritious foods, supporting livelihoods, and promoting the sustainability of food systems worldwide.
