Abstract
School feeding is a complex intervention. Designing effective programs on a national scale requires collaborative effort, evidence base, and an impact-driven approach that allows for efficient implementation and long-term outcomes. The Integrated Approach to Address Food and Nutrition Security in the Philippines is a 3-year research project that demonstrates and refines the effectiveness of the integrated model, while strengthening the links between its’ three components: school garden, supplementary feeding, and increased nutrition education. The project team worked closely with partners to develop implementation guidelines for a successful model, using consultative and participatory processes in 58 participating schools.
