The guidelines presented in this publication have been prepared in recognition of the widespread use of School Feeding (SF) in the World Food Programme’s (WFP’s) emergency relief and rehabilitation operations. They are designed to guide WFP country offices in deciding whether or not to utilize SF in an emergency setting and, if so, how best to design and implement such a programme. Every emergency situation is unique, so every humanitarian programme responding to an emergency situation is unique. The guidelines therefore, have been built up based on a range of past experiences. The design and implementation of a new programme will have to assess, analyze and address the unique circumstances of the situation at hand. It is hoped that these guidelines will assist that process.
