Midline Updates of Support for Integrated School Feeding Program
• Enrolment increased schools for girls in CM grades (4-5th grades) where take-home rations are offered
• 67% of students enrolled in McGovern Dole schools had access to mobile libraries, and many students also had access to other materials, including reading boards, illustrated boards, junior dictionaries, and sculpted plastic letters
• In non-MGD schools, only 10% of students had access to such learning materials
• Over 90% of teachers at every grade level said they had participated in AVSI trainings
• If available, school records showed near-perfect levels of teacher attendance
An endline evaluation is planned, corresponding to the end of the school year, to evaluate the overall progress measured during the five years of implementing the “Support for Integrated School Feeding and Literacy Program”. Watch the video below to learn more about the project.
