WFP and the government of Brazil launched in partnership the WFP Centre of Excellence against Hunger to promote sustainable national social safety nets based on the successes and lessons learnt from the Brazilian experience. The WFP Centre of Excellence is a bridge for south-south cooperation in capacity development in the areas of school feeding, nutrition and food security. It brings southern nations together who want to learn and develop their own programmes. One major element of the Centre's work has been exposing the Home-Grown School Feeding model and its powerful and transformative impact through the linkages to and supply by family agricultural production.
