The National Coordinator of the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP), Hajia Fati Forgor, has expressed her appreciation to the ruling government, led by President , for the timely release of funds to settle the outstanding arrears owed to caterers under the programme across all 16 regions of Ghana.
The government, through the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP), has fully paid the 31-day arrears owed to the caterers for the first term of the 2024/2025 academic year.
In a statement issued in Accra and signed by herself, Hajia Fati Forgor noted that the GSFP Secretariat, under the supervision of the MoGCSP, had begun restructuring the feeding programme to fulfill the government's commitment to decentralizing its operations, improving the quality of food served, and ensuring consistency in the payment of caterers. "We also thank our development partners for their continuous support and collaboration with the government of Ghana to sustain the programme," she added.
Meanwhile, the Ghana School Feeding Programme is currently benefiting over four million pupils in deprived public basic schools across all 261 districts.
