Article Synopsis
- Since its launch in 2011, the World Bank's SABER policy tool has been adopted by 59 governments to improve national school-based health and nutrition programs through self-evaluation against international standards.
- Approximately 65% of sub-Saharan African countries have used SABER reviews, indicating its strong presence in low-income regions where it helps identify key areas for policy improvement and strengthen national programs.
- The tool has proven effective in tracking policy evolution over time, making it especially valuable for the 98 countries in the global School Meals Coalition, which aims to enhance the support for schoolchildren affected by COVID-19.
