Mr. Sam Ngabire
I have worked with the Ministry of Education for seven years, during which I spearheaded the development, approval, and implementation of the School Feeding (SF) Policy. The program has had a direct and positive impact on national agricultural production and economic development by sourcing food items locally from smallholder farmers and cooperatives.
The School Feeding initiative has contributed significantly to reducing school dropout rates, improving student performance and attendance, and allowing parents more time to engage in agricultural activities.
