Enclosure to DepEd Memorandum No. 051, s. 2021

Guidelines on the Conduct of the Nationwide Search for the Most
Outstanding Implementers of the School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) for SY 2020-2021

1. RATIONALE

The Department of Education (DepEd), through the Bureau of Learner Support Services—School Health Division (BLSS-SHD), has implemented the SchoolBased Feeding Program (SBFP) since 2010 pursuant to its steadfast commitment to address undernutrition among public school children.

The DepEd has been assessing and improving its policies, implementation strategies, and operational guidelines to ensure that the SBFP attains its objectives. Program evaluation and review has shown that undernourished learnerbeneficiaries have improved on their nutritional status, class participation, positive health habits, and school attendance. The SBFP appeared to work best when complemented with other School Health Programs such as deworming, micronutrient supplementation, Gulayan sa Paaralan Program (GPP) and WASH in schools (WinS) Program - programs primarily aimed at ensuring that children are ready to learn and thrive in a healthy school environment that allows them to develop health-promoting habits and behaviors for a healthier future generation.

The implementation of SBFP likewise showcased best practices in the implementing areas of collaboration and partnership with various stakeholders. The continuing assessment and review of the implementation of the program enabled the drawing out of operational strategies that maximize the cooperation and support of stakeholders.
