This review provides a snapshot of the state-of-art of School Feeding Programmes in 14 of the 15 CARICOM Member States. It provides an overview of the different models of school feeding programmes that currently exist in the Caribbean, challenges faced and recommendations for improvement. Among the aspects evaluated include: the governance structure, nutritional quality of meal served, linkages with small farmers for the procurement of products used in the meals, involvement of children in school gardens related activities, etc. The document includes a case study for each of the participating countries (namely Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago). For each of these countries, an Annual Net Benefit Analysis was conducted, using information collected in 2017. The aim is that the document can provide preliminary information and recommendations that can be relevant for governments, public organizations, donors, opinion leaders, private sectors, and others toward strengthening school feeding programmes in the Caribbean. It was developed with the support of the University of the West Indies and the Caribbean Agro-Economic Society under the leadership of Prof. Carlisle Pemberton and Dr. Hazel Paterson-Andrews.
This publication seeks to support practitioners by providing methodological guidelines for conducting rigorous impact assessments of Home Grown School Feeding (HGSF) programmes. It presents an overview of the main technical issues to be addressed depending on the characteristics of the context and of the intervention itself. While these guidelines are mainly designed for monitoring and evaluation officers working for United Nations agencies, local governments or non-governmental organizations, its contents can be of interest to a wider audience of policymakers, researchers and practitioners interested in multi-sectoral, complex programmes linking agriculture and nutrition.
Many social protection programmes, including cash transfers, public works programmes and asset transfers, target women as main beneficiaries or recipients of benefits. Extending social protection to rural populations has great potential for fostering rural women’s economic empowerment. However, to tap into this potential, more needs to be done. There is much scope for making social protection policies and programmes more gender sensitive and for better aligning them with agricultural and rural development policies to help address gender inequalities. Recognizing this potential and capitalizing on existing evidence, FAO seeks to enhance the contribution of social protection to gender equality and women’s empowerment by providing country-level support through capacity development, knowledge generation and programme support.To move forward this agenda, FAO has developed the Technical Guidance Toolkit on Gender-sensitive Social Protection Programmes to Combat Rural Poverty and Hunger. The Toolkit is designed to support SP and gender policy-makers and practitioners in their efforts to systematically apply a gender lens to SP programmes in ways that are in line with global agreements and FAO commitments to expand inclusive SP systems for rural populations. The Toolkit focuses on the role of SP in reducing gendered social inequalities, and rural poverty and hunger.
The School Nutrition Education Programme (SNEP) is an intervention to educate school students on nutrition and food preparation with the aim of influencing healthy nutrition choice and practice at an age when life time behaviour habits are developing and in the wider community. FAO defines School Food Nutrition Education as consisting of coherent educational strategies and learning activities, with environmental supports, which help schoolchildren and their communities to achieve sustainable improvements in their diets and in food- and lifestyle-related behaviours, perceptions, skills and knowledge; and to build the capacity to change, to adapt to external change and to act as agents of change. This publication is the scopy study and capacity needs assessment and final report for the SNEP project.
This report reviews the results of research into a number of parenting programmes for minority ethnic parents and provides a broad insight into the ways in which parents find such programmes helpful. Concentrating on programmes run in the USA, this report highlights the need to establish a body of evidence concerning the effectiveness of parenting programmes for minority ethnic parents in the UK. The report concludes by considering future directions of programmes in the UK, policy and practice implications, and what might constitute good practice in the development of parenting programmes for minority ethnic families.
Critics are challenging the traditional role of the IMF to facilitate development and alleviate poverty, viewing policies as doctrinaire and in need of change to meet objectives. This examines the arguments and the future role of the IMF.

The Department spends around £900 million annually on programmes to help unemployed people find and sustain work through its contracts with a range of companies and some charities. Following a hearing on the Work Programme in February 2012, allegations of potential fraud and poor service from employment programme clients and whistleblowers were passed to the Department. The Department has initiated an investigation of the adequacy of controls at A4e, one of its major contractors, and is investigating individual allegations. The Department has not defined what standards a company must meet to be a 'fit and proper' organisation with which the Department is willing to contract. The Department's controls against financial fraud for the Work Programme are a significant improvement on previous schemes, although allegations that some providers give a poor service have already begun. Furthermore, risks also remain in the Department's other programmes. The Department's 'black box' approach to contracting for the Work Programme allows providers to innovate but without sufficient auditing and neither is there a mechanism in the contract for improving service standards over time. The Department lacks sufficient information on the nature and number of complaints made directly to contractors to identify trends and learn lessons. There is also no obvious mechanism through which participants, contractors' employees or MPs can raise issues of concern relating to fraud and poor service. While it may be tempting to define an acceptable level of fraud it the committee's view that this is the wrong approach. Rather the department should take all reasonable and affordable steps to drive out fraud
