Abstract

Malnutrition disorders affect more than 42% of school children in Nigeria and are responsible for 49% absenteeism of primary school age children. School Feeding Program (SFPs) is designed to overcome malnutrition disorders through regular school-feeding to improve the health/nutrition status and the education abilities of school children. This paper reviewed Home Grown School Feeding and Health Program (HGSFHP) as an innovative approach that may boost nutritional status in the public primary schools in Nigeria and their levels of implementation by stake holders. The paper recommends to the Federal Government that the program should be a national policy in order to boost the literacy and health/nutrition status in the country.
