A new research consortium led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine aims to provide crucial evidence to support countries in ‘building back better’ from COVID-19, with child development at its core.
Funded by a partnership including the World Food Programme and Dubai Cares, The Global Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition will develop a 10-year research agenda to support governments and decision makers in re-establishing school health and school meals programs after the pandemic, and meet the needs of those left behind.
The Research Consortium will be officially launched at a special virtual event on 27 May 2021, including a keynote address given by Prof Michael Kremer (2020 Nobel Laureate in Economics), and with contributions from Government Ministers from France, Peru and Finland.

“We are facing the biggest hunger and education crisis in history,” says Carmen Burbano, head of school feeding at the World Food Programme.
A report published by WFP today confirms 370 million children were robbed of access to nutritious meals when schools shut in 200 countries in April 2020 to halt the spread of COVID-19.

“As a matter of urgency, we need to make sure children go back to school, and back to receiving these meals that they were receiving before the pandemic,” says Burbano. “To do that we need a coalition of partners that come together to help governments scale up access to these programmes.”
