Accra, April 23, GNA – Dr. Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, Minister of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, has urged newly recruited coordinators of the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) to work towards restoring the programme’s reputation.
Speaking at an orientation workshop in Accra, Dr. Lartey said the GSFP’s image had suffered due to various past and present incidents.
“The image about GSFP is not good. Work hard and help us to redeem our image,” she said.
Dr. Lartey advised the coordinators to be accountable and make prudent use of their offices, stressing that the work should not be approached as “business as usual.”
She encouraged collaboration between superiors and subordinates to ensure the programme’s success.
Dr. Lartey reaffirmed that the GSFP was initiated to provide meals for school children and increase enrollment.
She cautioned the coordinators against losing sight of this vision, emphasising that neglecting it would be a disservice to the beneficiaries.
She also urged them to embrace technological innovations to improve their work.
Dr. Afisah Zakariah, Chief Director of the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, appealed to the coordinators to help realise the GSFP’s vision, describing it as a beneficial programme.
Hajia Fati Forgor, National Coordinator of the GSFP, pledged to ensure that coordinators work hard to change the negative narrative surrounding the programme.
