On May 12, 2008, an 8.0 earthquake struck the Sichuan Province in China, resulting in an estimated 90,000 deaths and in the destruction of thousands of schools. School feeding has since surfaced as a strategy vital to the province’s recovery. With support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, this needs assessment determines how a sustainable, nutrition-based school feeding program can be established at six target school sites in Deyang City, Sichuan. Site visits made by GCNF staff in April and July 2009, coupled with information from local area stakeholders and extensive literature review, provides a comprehensive and realistic presentation of school feeding in China.
