This policy brief, Investing in the Future, presents a compelling case for expanding and increasing funding to Zambia’s School Feeding Programme as a strategic response to child hunger, malnutrition, and poor educational outcomes. Drawing on recent national and global data, the brief outlines the profound impacts of undernutrition on children's health, learning, and future prospects, particularly in rural areas. It highlights how, despite increased government allocations from K39.4 million in 2023 to a proposed K534.4 million in 2025, over 60% of eligible children still remain uncovered by the programme.

In many rural communities, families face significant obstacles in ensuring children receive proper nutrition and healthcare. Jenifer Nyoto Nyambe, a 69-year-old grandmother, experienced this firsthand when she suddenly found herself in a maternal role once again. Her daughter passed away in 2023, just three months after giving birth to her baby, Maybin. Left in Jenifer’s care with limited resources, the young child faced a difficult start, malnourished and struggling to thrive.

As World Vision we have recently paused to reflect on the meaning of the word “partnership”, starting from the word etymology - “sharing or partaking in anything”. Over the years, the organisation has indeed shared its pathway with strategic and operational stakeholders at local, regional and international levels.  And yet, research conducted into the origins of WFP and WVI partnership has unveiled that there is nothing quite like the three-decades-long journey shared by the two organisations.

In the rural areas of Zambia, a remarkable change is taking shape thanks to the dedication of local nutrition supporters. Women like Vera Mufungulwa, 48 years old, are playing a vital role in helping mothers and children thrive by sharing practical knowledge about food.
