How does USDA view the incorporation of Mother and Child Health (MCH) programs under the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program?
USDA would give priority consideration to those proposals that integrate an MCH component within an educational environment. This could be done through several means, but not limited to: (1) situations where the school can be utilized as a setting for normalcy to the family undergoing a crisis situation (conflicts in the country, natural disasters, etc.), and (2) areas where children entering school are not exhibiting sufficient growth and development to maintain age-to-grade graduation targets. USDA will also look favorably upon those proposals that link MCH programs funded through outside resources to the proposed FFE program.
