The statement reads: “WFP is backing the next stage with a significant transfer of ICT equipment. This includes tablets with access to the PLUS Schools Menus – a free tool to help state Nutrition Officers design nutritious menus for schools.

“The hardware will not only support the ministry’s efforts to digitalise its monitoring and evaluation system but also enable the national rollout of the PLUS School Menu Tool developed by WFP to standardise cost-effective menu development.

“The results from a joint assessment conducted in the first quarter of 2021 to identify ways of improving, scaling-up, and sustaining the NHGSFP showed success and the need to enhance significant improvement and gains.

“The programme promotes nutrition, education, and better eating habits and also encourages the diversification of production with a special emphasis on local crops.

“In line with one of the key pillars for sustaining the NHGSFP, several partnerships have been realised across various relevant Ministries, Departments, and Agencies of government.Jamb Result
