In Ogun State, there is currently a programme called the Home Grown School Feeding Programme that is meant to help children do better in school by giving them balanced meals

There are some issues though

1. There is poor documentation on how food is delivered to the schools

2. Kids are fed irregularly, sometimes the kids are fed a maximum of 7 times in a 13 school week period, not withstanding that the cost of these meals are about 70 naira per kid which has very little nutritional value

We need #Transparency

3. Intense monitoring only occurs in 14 Local government areas, the rest? Not so much

There is also a discrepancy in the amount paid to the cooks vs the number of kids that are enrolled in the schools

There needs to be more #Accountability in these matters

@actionhealthinc has trained members of the community in these areas to ensure that there is #Transparency and #Accountability in the HGSFP

The people need to own the programme and also should be full participants and demand to know how well the programme is run

In addition, the programme has led to Voluntary Contributions from the community members like: Plates and Spoons, Serving Tables for cooks, establishing a food canteen and provision of water in some project schools.

There are also other ways that @actionhealthinc has helped
