Lessons learned

• Education & awareness activities should be an integral part of any SFP

• Students are the primary target of the school milk program. Also, awareness activities should include parents as well as the local community.

• Networking & partnerships with several stakeholders is of crucial importance in order to reach a national ownership.

• Processors Association should be aware and informed

• Success of the program on the school level depends on 2 major conditions:

• The school commitment,• Teacher’s enthusiasm

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change

the world……

Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. -Margaret Mead-
