In Sao Tome and Principe, the Government has integrated the 2030 Agenda and has adopted the Zero Hunger Strategic Review (ZHSR) report in April 2018 as the roadmap for achieving zero hunger in the country. Complementing the Government's efforts, WFP has been providing support in line with the national context priorties. Over the years, WFP's operations transitioned from providing direct food assistance to strengthening national institutional capacities to autonomously implement the school feeding programme and improve market access for smallholder farmers. WFP funded and facilitated training sessions for the National School Feeding and Health Programme personnel personnel, including human resources, monitoring and evaluation staff and also facilitated a training session for canteen cooks on the optimization and management of school canteens, including fundamental information on nutrition, hygiene and food handling practices. WFP implemented a joint-activity with UNICEF and NGO Set Up to assist vulnerable children with HIV virus (boys and girls) attending schools in remote areas of the country. Additionally, aiming to support the Government to develop flexible modalities of school menus and to improve the menus' composition based on available budget, demand and food supply, WFP provided technical and financial support to the National Council for Food Security and Nutrition (CONSAN) to organize its second meeting.
