In 2024, the WFP Centre of Excellence against Hunger in Brazil participated in major international events focused on combating hunger, organized several study visits under South-South cooperation, gathered results in food security and nutrition, and hosted the winners of the reality show "Vida de Merendeira" at a meeting of Portuguese-speaking countries. The Centre of Excellence took part in the launch of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty during the G20 Social. In addressing malnutrition, officials from Brazil, Peru, and Colombia were trained; we closely followed the expansion of the school feeding program in Malawi; and supported the construction of cisterns and gardens in Kenya.
This special edition of the publication Policy in Focus, a collaboration between IPCid, the World Food Programme (WFP), and socialprotection.org, features 22 papers authored by over 50 experts from diverse institutions. It focuses on the barriers social protection systems face in achieving food security and combating malnutrition. Through case studies, expert insights, and policy analyses, the edition identifies key roadblocks such as funding gaps, political constraints, fragmented approaches, and implementation challenges. It also offers solutions to strengthen social protection systems, breaking cycles of hunger and poverty while envisioning them as a foundation for resilience and sustainable development.
The nutritional and health situation of the population is unevenly influenced by a set of social, economic and political determinants that generate and accentuate inequalities. The multiple burden of malnutrition is a reality in certain countries and mainly affects vulnerable groups such as low-income families, women, the black population and traditional peoples and communities. This Policy Brief is a public tool of great relevance to the subject, as it provides readers with detailed information on the main theme, alternatives to mitigate malnutrition, obesity and other health problems, especially among schoolchildren, as well as supporting the strengthening of the Human Right to Adequate Food as a mechanism to reduce the consumption of poor quality food to the detriment of food and nutritional security.
Gardens play a fundamental role in school feeding programmes, since they function as a strategic tool for food and nutrition education (FNE), contributing to the formation of healthy and sustainable eating habits for students and the entire school community. By mapping successful examples, this publication seeks to investigate how school gardens can contribute to improving these programmes and to identify good practices in management, design and implementation. The publication is the result of a partnership between the WFP Centre of Excellence in Brazil, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the National Education Development Fund (FNDE) and the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC).
