The African Development Bank Group has approved a trust fund totaling fifty million dollars to eliminate malnutrition among children of school age throughout the continent.
The ultimate objective of this endeavor is to enhance the academic performance and welfare of students by providing them with nutritious meals.
The program is designed to complement larger initiatives that are designed to address the issue of food insecurity and promote the development of human capital in Africa.
The fund’s objective is to generate a multiplier effect by investing in school nutrition programs.
This will ensure that students receive the necessary sustenance for cognitive development and learning, while also contributing to the sustainability of local agriculture and economies.
This approach underscores the interdependence of economic growth, health, and education in the pursuit of sustainable development objectives.
