Government Clears 31 Days School Feeding Programme Arrears

The Government of Ghana has paid the 31 days arrears owed to caterers under the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP).

This was announced by Hajia Fati Forgor, the National Coordinator in a statement issued on April 10, 2025.

The arrears cover the First Term of the 2024/2025 academic year.

“The GSFP Secretariat extends its appreciation to the Government for the timely release of funds for the payment of outstanding arrears owed to the caterers,” she said in the statement.

“We also thank our donor partners for their continuous support and collaboration with the Government of Ghana to sustain the Programme.”

She further noted that the Secretariat was restructuring the Programme to fulfil the Government’s commitment to decentralize its operations, improve the quality of food served and ensure consistency in the payment of caterers.

This, it said, is being undertaken under the supervision of the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP).
