VICE President Mutale Nalumango has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to working with partners to sustain the school meals programme.

In a speech read on her behalf by Minister of Education, Harry Kamboni at the close of the Global Child Nutrition Forum, Mrs Nalumango called for stronger partnerships and commended participating countries and stakeholders for their contributions.

Global Child Nutrition Foundation Executive Director Arlene Mitchell said participants’ actions were important in making a positive impact on children’s lives. 

Ms Mitchell also thanked the Zambian Government for its commitment to co-hosting a successful forum.
