Senegal’s lessons towards State-owned food procurement schemes
How PAA Senegal is contributing to build an agenda for public sponsoring of local food procurement for school feeding programmes.
11 September 2015, Dakar/Accra - In Senegal, an operational model linking local food production to school feeding programmes is showing the power of public food procurement schemes associated to technical support to smallholders’ agricultural production. Building upon technical principles and knowledge of the Brazilian public food acquisition program, the PAA Senegal is being implemented in the Kédougou region, one of the poorest in the country, having tripled agricultural productivity and purchased around 100mt of rice to feed more than 20,000 school pupils.
