GSFP Partners with WFP and KOICA to Enhance Nutritional Monitoring ‎


In a major step toward modernizing social interventions, the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP), through the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP), has officially launched a "Training of Trainers" session for the School Connect Pilot Project.

‎



‎The initiative, a collaboration between the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), marks a pivotal shift toward data-driven governance in school nutrition.

‎

During the ceremony, specialized digital devices were officially handed over by the GSFP Secretariat to the Ghana Education Service (GES) to facilitate real-time monitoring and evaluation.

‎


‎Speaking to the press, Hajia Fati Forgor, National Coordinator of the GSFP, described the project as the realization of a long-term vision. While the groundwork for this digital transition began prior to her tenure, she noted that the partnership with the South Korean government has been the catalyst needed to bring the "dream to fruition."

‎The core objective of the School Connect platform is to ensure that caterers strictly adhere to prescribed menus and balanced diets.

‎



‎"It is a platform that allows us to monitor operations from afar," Hajia Forgor explained. "Through precise data collection, we can improve the nutritional value of the meals prepared for our children.

‎

This is a collaborative effort to ensure no child is left behind in terms of quality."




‎The rollout includes a rigorous training schedule.

‎

Following the distribution of the digital equipment, regional officers will be trained to cascade this knowledge down to the district level.

‎

Key benefits of the new system include:

‎Real-time Monitoring: Enhanced oversight of caterers to ensure food quality and quantity.

‎

‎Rapid Data Collection: Breaking previous timelines to ensure data is processed immediately after school terms conclude.

‎



‎Operational Transparency: Creating a digital paper trail for food production and delivery to eliminate discrepancies.

‎

‎Hajia Forgor emphasized a "strict supervisory role," promising that the equipment will be used solely for its intended purpose to ensure measurable results,a move she believes will encourage international partners to continue their support.

‎


‎Aligning the program with the broader "Reset Agenda," Hajia Forgor noted that the school feeding initiative is more than just a policy; it is a vital social intervention.

‎

‎"The school feeding program is a lifeline for many Ghanaian children," she stated.

‎

"It remains a priority for the government, and we are committed to performing at our very best to ensure this social intervention delivers on its promise."
