Evaluation of Local Purchasing and School Canteen Pilot Project in Petite Riviere de Nippes Report 1 (of 3)

This is the first of three reports that were part of a study commissioned

by WFP to evaluate the MENFP (Haitian Ministry of Education) pilot project for Local Procurement School Feeding in Nippes. The research was conducted under the auspices of Socio-Dig, a Haiti-based research company. Despite the cost of the research and an abundance of illuminating data on issues surrounding school feeding in Haiti, to my knowledge WFP never published any of the reports online. I am not sure why they did not make the reports available to the public. It is hard to fathom anything more important to Haiti than information that might contribute to the well-being of Haitian children. With that in mind–that and the fact that Brazilian tax-payer dollars paid for the study–I’ve posted all three reports, so that other researchers and humanitarian organizations have access to the information.
