Partners
School feeding programmes (SFP) have become a key public policy, benefiting nearly 80 million students by 2025. Since 2009, the Brazil–FAO Trilateral South-South Cooperation Programme on School Feeding has supported SFP through a partnership between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Brazilian National Fund for Educational Development (FNDE), and the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC). This partnership is grounded in the principle that school feeding is a human right.
To achieve this, the programme works to strengthen, consolidate, and institutionalize SFP through joint actions aimed at enhancing the capacities of professionals, promoting the exchange of experiences, and supporting the development of legal frameworks for school feeding. With more than 17 years of cooperation, nearly 42,000 professionals have received training.
To expand the reach of these efforts, ABC and FNDE launched the Sustainable School Feeding Network (RAES) in 2018, with FAO serving as its Executive Secretariat. To support the implementation of the Network, the Regional Agenda for Sustainable School Feeding in Latin America and the Caribbean project has been implemented since 2024. Its objectives are to strengthen national policies, enhance technical capacities, and promote the exchange of experiences.
