Welcome to the 2024 Global Survey of School Meal Programs!
The Global Survey of School Meal Programs is the most comprehensive data resource on national and large-scale school feeding programs worldwide. Launched in 2019, the survey has so far been conducted three times. The resulting data are used to create and maintain an up-to-date global database of standardized information on school meal programs.
Data analysis for the 2024 Global Survey of School Meal Programs is currently ongoing. Highlights of the survey results will be presented during the Global Child Nutrition Forum, taking place in Osaka, Japan from 9-12 December. The full survey report, “School Meal Programs Around the World”, is expected to be released in early 2025.
An initial set of individual country reports are available on our country reports page. Additional country reports will be added on a rolling basis. Please return to this page for the latest updates.
