A Kenyan startup will help strengthen Zambia's national school feeding programme after securing a four-year partnership to improve systems serving millions of schoolchildren.
The four-year agreement, signed on Sunday between Food4Education and Zambia's Ministry of Education, builds on discussions that began in August 2024 and a Zambian delegation's visit to Kenya earlier this year to study decentralised and centralised school kitchen models.
Under the agreement, the Nairobi-based startup will provide technical support and infrastructure planning while the Zambian government retains full responsibility for financing and implementing the programme.
