School children will not be fed today as planned by the Ghana School Feeding Programme. The programme which was temporarily suspended at the beginning of this academic year was expected to resume this morning. But the School Feeding Secretariat says caterers appointed by the district assemblies have not yet been given appointment letters to resume work. Officials however say schools affected by the retargeting are excluded. The retargeting is intended to remove schools which were wrongly included in the programme and bring on board more deprived schools. The suspension of the programme last week raised suspicions it is on the verge of collapse. But the SFS says the re-organization is needed to attract more donors. Seidu Adamu tells Joy News heads of all affected schools have been adequately informed. “We have removed the feeding from some schools so definitely that place cannot start; it’s no more on the school feeding programme. I think we have done some level of sensitization all over the country about this retargeting and then [where we want to go]. We do not want the feeding to stall,” he told Joy News.
