|
| | | |
| |
Jordan
|
|
National poverty reduction strategy (PRS) or equivalent national strategy as well as sectoral
policies and strategies identify school feeding as education/social protection intervention. Policies have clearly definied objectives and sectoral responsibilities
|
Although school feeding is not integrated in the Poverty Reduction Strategy 2013–2020, it did stipulate that a need exists to improve the educational environment and food security. A reference was made to school feeding in the government action plan 2013–

budgeting |
|
| | | |
| |
Jordan
|
|
National budget line(s) and funding are allocated to school feeding (SF) and funds disbursed to
implementation levels in a timely and effective manner

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
A functional monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system is in place as part of the structure of the lead institution and used for implementation and feedback
|
There are plans for periodic follow-up at the directorate level, but reports are issued intermittently and the data in these reports are not analyzed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Program design identifies appropriate target groups and targeting criteria corresponding to
the national school feeding (SF) policy and the situation analysis
|
Criteria are established to target the most
vulnerable groups, and there are some
studies to analyze the situation that
assessed the school feeding needs in 1992.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Food modalities and the food basket correspond to objectives, local habits and tastes,
availability of local food, food safety guidelines, and nutrition content requirements
|
National guidelines on food modalities and food basket exist. The guidelines include details on the food basket of each modality of the school feeding programs. These guidelines are built on the objectives of the program, local habits and tastes, as wel

line with the goals, customs and local
tastes, the availability of food locally, as
well as food safety and needs.

Community participates in school feeding (SF) program design, implementation, management
and evaluation and contributes resources (in-kind, cash or as labor)

mechanisms are in place for consultation,
design, follow-up, or assessment of school
feeding.
