Abstract

Many programs have been implemented in developing countries to improve both the physical health and the psychosocial health of students. School feeding is a long standing and popular development assistance program; implemented in over 72 countries by the World Food Programs (WFP) alone in developing countries (WFP, 2008). In these developing countries, School Feeding Program (SFP) is offered by non-governmental organizations or other large organizations in collaboration with national governments (Bennett, 2003)
