School Meals Provide Food for Thought – and Fuel for Development
Instead of fretting over the lack of progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals, we should focus on enacting practical policies that can make a difference. School-nutrition programs in the poorest countries would reduce levels of hunger and poverty, keep more children in the classroom, and lead to better learning outcomes.

The 2020s are shaping up to be a lost decade for development – and the world’s most vulnerable children are bearing the brunt of this slowdown.
