Innovation in the Sahel: dairy and school meals

Through its school feeding programme in Burkina Faso, WFP provides daily meals for 132,000 students. In May 2015, a new item was added to the menu: yogurt, a nutritious, locally-produced product which is well-liked among students.

The yogurt is part of an innovative project in Burkina Faso, which builds upon WFP’s expertise in school feeding and fostering market access for smallholder farmers and entrepreneurs. The yogurt is produced by women groups, contributing to job creation and gender equality in the region.
