🌍 #SchoolMeals are named in the key findings of the 2026 @GNReport as the leading example of platforms through which food and nutrition support scaled fastest when crises hit.
📊 Country experiences across Covid-19, conflict, extreme weather & economic shocks found that countries with existing nutrition & school meals programmes responded more rapidly & effectively than those building new approaches under pressure.
💡 Having these support mechanisms in place before crises hit is critical to reducing the impact shocks can have on nutrition.
