The National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) is proposing new storage and technology-driven reforms to improve efficiency in Ghana’s school feeding system.
Senior Manager of Corporate Affairs, Emmanuel Arthur, disclosed that inadequate storage facilities remain a major bottleneck affecting food distribution.
To address this, he revealed that NAFCO has offered to make its warehouses available to schools across the country.
“Our CEO has written to the Minister for Education to allow schools to use our warehouses where necessary. We will also absorb transportation costs to ease the burden,” Arthur said on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Monday (20 April).
He also highlighted plans to deploy technology that would enable real-time tracking of food deliveries.
“We want a system where someone can sit in an office and monitor the movement of food trucks minute by minute,” he added.
Arthur further indicated that the company is working with the Ministry of Education to revise the national school feeding menu to improve nutritional outcomes, particularly portion sizes for students.
The reforms, he said, are aimed at ensuring sustainability as the programme evolves from basic feeding to improved nutrition delivery.
