In Ghana, the SBCC strategy which was a part of a stunting and micronutrient prevention programme was planned to serve as a vehicle to promote the consumption of locally produced SNFs and other locally available nutritious foods; serve as feedback mechanism to the distribution of SNFs and non-SNFs; improve attendance to health services (Antenatal, Postnatal and Child Welfare Clinics ¨C ANC, PNC and CWC); and for adoption of positive lifestyles.
Previous reports published on People Living with HIV (PLHIV) in Ghana show that food and nutrition security is critical to mitigating the socio-economic impact on them and their households. A fifth of HIV-affected households are food insecure whilst a third are on the verge of food insecurity. This study provides information on the food security profile of PLHIV to enable stakeholders better tailor future strategies and interventions to address their needs.
The Ghana School Feeding Programme is a social protection intervention aimed at increasing school enrolment, attendance and retention, reducing hunger and malnutrition, and boosting domestic food production. The number of children who receive school meals has increased from 1,900 in its first year (2005) of implementation to 1.7m (2017), with an equivalent increase in expenditure. The Cost Benefit Analysis shows the need to invest in school feeding, projecting it as an investment and not a cost. The report further makes a case for an increase in the feeding grant.
