2027 GEM Report consultation

Share your inputs with us!

Research has consistently demonstrated that school meal programmes can have a positive impact on learning outcomes through improved attendance, concentration, retention, and overall student well-being. Given the focus of the upcoming GEM Report on quality and learning, I wonder whether this relationship could be explored or reflected within the report's analytical framework.
In addition, WFP is currently collaborating with UNESCO on the development of a new SDG 4 indicator on school meal coverage. Do you see potential for this indicator to strengthen monitoring of factors that contribute to learning outcomes? Could it also be considered as part of the evidence base or monitoring framework discussed in the next GEM Report?
