Scholl Food and nutrition in urban and peri-urban Keyna: insights from policy implementation
As part of the European Commission’s Knowledge and Research for Nutrition project, the Nutrition Research Facility (NRF) undertook a study of school nutrition policies and their implementation in urban and peri-urban Kenya. It sought to address several key questions: Which national policies currently support adolescent food and nutrition at school? What types of programmes are being deployed in schools? What are the challenges and barriers to effective implementation? What solutions can be explored to improve the quality of adolescent diets and support national efforts to address all forms of malnutrition? The study was conducted in five stages (Figure 1).
