What is the focus of the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program (FFE)?
The McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition program (FFE) will be used to support countries that have made commitments to support and further enhance the quality of their education and nutrition sector. Commodities produced in the United States will be provided to increase the nutritional status and learning potential of children, with particular attention being given to children under the age of five years, pre-school and primary age children, and pregnant and lactating mothers. There is a heightened emphasis on the girl child within all of these age groups.
