Mahama gov’t must be critical of School Feeding - Adwoa Safo laments rot during her tenure as Gender Minister

Adwoa Safo, the former Gender Minister, has called on the Mahama administration to critically evaluate the school feeding program in Ghana. Highlighting issues of mismanagement during her tenure, she emphasized that the initiative, designed to enhance nutrition and education for children, has faced significant challenges. Safo pointed out that inefficiencies have led to delays in food supplies and inadequate quality, which ultimately undermine its objectives. She urged current policymakers to address these shortcomings and ensure that the program operates effectively to benefit students across the country. The call for reform comes as stakeholders increasingly recognize the need for accountability and transparency within government initiatives aimed at improving child welfare. By reassessing strategies and implementation processes, Safo believes that Ghana can better support its youth through reliable access to nutritious meals in schools. Her comments reflect a growing concern among educators and parents regarding the impact of these systemic issues on children's health and learning outcomes.
