Program Summary
Program Justification
•Angola is recovering after 27 years of
civil war.
•Of 12 million plus Angolans, 70% live
below the poverty line.
•Health figures reveal that 31% of
children under 5 are underweight and
45% of under 5 are stunted.
•Only 40% of rural population has
access to safe drinking water while only
16% has adequate sanitation facilities.
•Primary school attendance is only 57%
and over ½ of the country’s rural
population has not received any formal
schooling.
Government of Angola’s Commitment
•National education strategy called:
Education for All that guarantees access to
education and integration boys, girls and
young adults.
•The Ministry of Education is currently
establishing a national school-feeding

allocated $35 million for the first phase of
this program.

200,000 Students receiving 100 grams of CSB daily during the academic year
• JAM’s logistics:
•
A commodity manager and his team ensure
that CSB is delivered in an efficient and
timely fashion to 6 district warehouses and
to 440 schools.
•
JAM staff inspect school kitchens and
warehouses to make certain that children
receive food regularly and that storage
conditions are satisfactory.
• Community Contribution:
•
Parents and teacher ensure that there are
utensils, firewood and water to prepare food
before distribution to the children.
•
Food is cooked according to local tastes and
according to the number of children in
attendance that day.

How are meals are stored, accounted for, prepared and served?
• CSB is stored at the schools stacked in
storerooms.
• The Headmaster takes a head count of all
children in attendance and determines
amount of food to be cooked.
• A community volunteer goes to the
storeroom with a teacher and withdraws
100 grams of CSB per child. The
Headmaster signs off on the food that is
withdrawn.
• The food is taken to the kitchen, mixed
with potable water and cooked for about
15 minutes. The cereal is then ready to
be served. Amount of CSB used and
number of children fed is recorded.

Parents and Parent/Teacher Associations (PTA) are active in the project
All schools must meet basic requirements
to qualify for the project. After JAM’s
assessment, the Head of School works
together with the PTA to ensure, for
example, that there is a kitchen and
storeroom; adequate water for food
preparation; and people to make the food
each day.
Some PTAs have organized the parents to
deliver water from a nearby pump. At one
school, the parents give their child water to
take to school. One school has worked
with three local churches to ensure a rota
for people to make the food. Some PTAs
have raised funds to pay for kitchen staff.
