  "summary": "The Ghanaian government has reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing the nutritional value of meals served to pupils under the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP). Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, toured several GSFP nutrition training centres in the Greater Accra Region, accompanied by the National Coordinator of the programme and the Mayor of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly. The tour aimed to showcase the renewed emphasis on nutrition training and capacity building for caterers and cooks, supported by the World Bank and the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research. Dr Lartey commended the GSFP management for their efforts in driving reforms within the programme, particularly the focus on nutrition, training, and improved service delivery. She emphasized that the programme is moving beyond simply providing meals to ensuring that children receive nutritious and balanced diets that support their growth, health, and learning.",
