Such a pleasure and honor to meet with HE @MamaRachelRuto - wonderful visionary, inspiring thought leader, passionate about youth, women's empowerment, climate and education! Looking forward to continuing working together.
See @Kevin_Watkins_ paper on the role school meals can play in addressing food system, climate and education challenges, investment is a no brainer @EDCtweets
The Guardian view on free school meals
Britain could - and should - do more, at home and on the international stage
And the Guardian is right.

#SierraLeone is right to invest in school meals, see @Kevin_Watkins_ new paper on how it can address food systems, climate and education challenges https://t.co/FM75sRUqoz @EDCtweets
#SierraLeone expanded its budget to education during covid and the global food crises. A major impact was that we expanded our school feeding program to cover more children. Thanks to @PresidentBio's vision of HCD, school meals embody that nexus- education, health, economy, etc.
#Rwanda and Mr Twagireyezu are pioneers in expanding school meals, see @Kevin_Watkins_ and @EDCtweets new paper on the role of school meals for food systems, climate and education https://t.co/FM75sRUqoz
#Rwanda says it's expanding #SchoolMeals, now reaching 3.8M children thru a budget of $74M.
At #SchoolMeals Coalition session Min. of State Mr. Twagireyezu says: “Rwanda continues to expand & leverage #SchoolMeals for #FoodSystems transformation & human capital development.”
Big thanks to @fp2p for running this blog. For anyone who thinks school meals are a peripheral sideshow in food system reform, I hope it will prompt you to think again

In addition to the transition of Education Commission programs to @EDCtweets, there was another milestone last week: IFFEd becomes an independent organization on July 1, driving financing in lower-middle-income countries see (https://t.co/q93s0W3ccV). So proud of both!
We are looking for an experienced academic specialised in gender globally to second into the FCDO as senior research fellow, to provide thought leadership across our research and to guide policy makers. Are you interested? Do you know someone fantastic who might be?
School meals are essential to @PresidentBio's agenda. In addition to providing food for 8 boarding schools, and 15+ special needs institutions, we're feeding 748,000 kids nationwide through our partners. 85% of that comes from GoSL basket! We're deep into planning for next year!

We thank the dedicated Commissioners, Commission team, donors, countries, our many partners and the new institutions created as a result of the work of the Commission who have not only helped implement the Commission’s recommendations but championed education for all.
