Descripción
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 interrupted the years of international cooperation that sought to achieve food security in Latin America and the Caribbean. Due to the emergency, economic changes occurred in the involvement of institutions in developing School Feeding Programmes (SFPs), food delivery and creating safe classrooms.The project built upon the Government of Brazil’s technical cooperation in the region, supporting the implementation of programmes and public policies to ensure adequate and healthy food for students and their families. It also promoted local economic development through direct purchases from family farmers.This South-South Cooperation in capacity development and gender equality led to a school feeding network in the region. This network involves 26 countries engaging in activities and dialogue on the subject and has contributed to reducing poverty and malnutrition.
