The Government, through the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP), has paid the 31-day arrears owed to caterers under the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) for the First Term of the 2024/25 academic year.

A statement from The GSFP Secretariat, signed by Hajia Fati Forgor, National Coordinator and copied to the Ghana News Agency, said the secretariat extended its appreciation to the Government for the timely release of funds for the payment of outstanding arrears owed to the Caterers.

The GSFP Secretariat, under the supervision of the MoGCSP, has commenced a restructuring of the Programme to fulfill the Government’s commitment to decentralise its operations, improve the quality of food served and ensure consistency in the payment of caterers.

“We also thank our donor partners for their continuous support and collaboration with the Government of Ghana to sustain the Programme,” it said.
