The Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) Colombia conducted formative research to inform its school based programming, allowing schools to act as a platform for inclusion. The study focused on school feeding, nutrition, discrimination and xenophobia in schools that experienced a range of challenges due to high rates of migration from Venezuela. Through this research, Â鶹ÊÓƵ aimed to better understand the needs of children and their communities by using two way communication to identify barriers and enablers to behavioural change. The research provided an evidence base for the participatory development of a Social and Behaviour Change Communication strategy that promoted inclusivity and equality. This is an interesting example of how a school feeding programme can address additional issues such as discrimination and promote not only nutritious meals for children but also create a safe environment and positively contribute to breaking stereotypes.
El Programa Mundial de Alimentos (PMA) en Colombia realiz¨® una investigaci¨®n formativa para contribuir a sus programas basados en las escuelas y permitir as¨ª que estos espacios act¨²en adem¨¢s como una plataforma para la inclusi¨®n. El estudio se centr¨® en la alimentaci¨®n escolar, la nutrici¨®n, la discriminaci¨®n y la xenofobia en escuelas que experimentaban una serie de desaf¨ªos debido a las altas tasas de migraci¨®n llegada desde Venezuela. A trav¨¦s de esta investigaci¨®n, el PMA se propuso comprender mejor las necesidades de los ni?os y ni?as y sus comunidades, mediante el uso de la comunicaci¨®n bidireccional para identificar tanto las barreras como los factores que facilitan el cambio de comportamiento. La investigaci¨®n proporcion¨® una base de evidencia para el desarrollo participativo de una estrategia de Comunicaci¨®n para el Cambio Social y de Comportamiento (SBCC) que promovi¨® la inclusi¨®n y la igualdad. Este es un ejemplo interesante de c¨®mo un programa de alimentaci¨®n escolar puede abordar tem¨¢ticas adicionales, como la discriminaci¨®n, y proporcionar no solo comidas nutritivas para los ni?os, sino tambi¨¦n crear un entorno seguro y contribuir de forma positiva a romper estereotipos.
