The Partnership for Child Development's HGSF initiative aims to support governments and other HGSF stakeholders by providing direct, evidence-based and context-specific support and expertise to improve the design and management of effective school feeding programmes which use locally sourced food.

Different operational support materials have been developed by PCD and its partners, and these also include guidelines and training materials, toolkits to support data collection and analysis, as well as data on HGSF programmes on the ground.
