    The School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) run by the Philippine Department of Education addresses malnutrition among the country's 12.7 million school-aged children, of which 13.2% are stunted or wasted. In 2022, the SBFP budget was P3.3 billion, lower than 2021's P6 billion allocation, as funding shifted to local governments, but the 2023 proposed budget is P5.7 billion to cover 1.6 million stunted and wasted students as part of the country's plan to improve education.

    Philippines: Department of Education's School-Based Feeding

    Program
    Malnutrition is still prevalent in the Philippines. Among 12.7 million school-aged children
    assessed in 2019, 13.2 percent were stunted or wasted. The School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP)
    is one intervention to address under-nutrition of school children. The Philippine Department of
    Education (DepEd) partners with various organizations to implement the SBFP. In 2022, the
    allocated budget was P3.3 Billion ($60 Million), way below the P6 Billion ($109 Million) budget
    allocation in 2021, as program funding shifted to local government units. The Philippine
    Development Plan 2023-2028 included the SBFP in the implementation of its strategy framework
    to improve education and lifelong learning. The proposed budget for 2023 is P5.7 Billion ($104
    Million) to cover 1.6 million students. It targets stunted and wasted children.
