Abstract
The McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition project in Burkina Faso, known locally as Beoog Biiga (?tomorrow?s child? in the Mooré language), seeks to improve the quality of literacy instruction, attendance, and attentiveness of schoolchildren in 996 schools in the Center North Region of Burkina Faso. Primary activities include school feeding; teacher trainings and recognition; social and behavior change communication campaigns for school enrollment and health and nutrition practices; and community capacity building. The project collaborates with the Ministries of Health and Education, OCADES Kaya, and community organizations (mothers? associations, parents? associations, and school management committees).
