SFP Intervention Strategy
Services such as breakfast,
lunch, tea, dinner and snacks
are bought for each SFP
component
The biddings of the SFP coverage
are organised by Territorial Units of
the country defined by JUNAEB
JUNAEB defines the roles and responsabilities
of the employees in charge of the education
institutions for the communal Coordinators
(SFP Support Network)
JUNAEB regularly bids for
the purchase of SFP food
services and PAP of JUNJI
to private foodservice
providers companies
Junta Nacional de Auxilio Escolar y Becas
The SFP is managed by the Department of
School Feeding of the JUNAEB National
Division, at the design level of food services,
nutritional education, physical activity
promotion and budget administration
Bidding rules define food and nutritional requirements,
operational requirements, controls and penalties,
administrative requirements and payments conditions
etc.
A Penalty and Fine control and application
process, in case of failure to comply
contracts to providers.
SFP Intervention Strategy
The services are delivered to
indentified and evaluated
students in situation of
vulnerability, defined as user
population in each component
The supply is designed in
its nutritional value and
food structure as a
supplement to the daily
diet each person should
receive according to age
and sex
Junta Nacional de Auxilio Escolar y Becas
Anually the allocation of services by
educational establishment is issued from
the central level of JUNAEB and it is
updated monthly
The SFP delivery services are elaborated with nutritious and
healthy products defined in datasheets, and the presentation of
the services is required to be attractive for student consumption
Regarding SFP Impact Evaluation
OK
Solved Issues
Food insecurity and malnutrition:
FAO notes that the global child malnutrition of Chile was 0.5% in 2013, the overweight affects 9.5% of the children
and hunger fell below 5%, which implies that domestic hunger has been eradicated.
Educational System Coverage:
Basic Enrollment 92,8%
Secondary enrollment 72,2% (Casen 2011 MDS)
Net attendance rate for Basic Education
The net attendance rate for Basic Education between 1990 and 2011 per independent income quintile is about
89% over time for all income levels.
Net attendance rate for Middle Education
The net attendance rate for Middle Education per independent income quintile between 1990 and 2011 presents
an increase in all the Q especially in lower income Q, increased from 50.7% to 68.1%, it is still insufficient.

Unsolved Issues
Achieve pre-kinder and kinder enrollment coverage goals
The SFP fosters school inclusion
The students from the first 3 income quintiles need free and nutritionally balanced food. The SFP provides them
with economic welfare services and enables their mothers to access to work.
Malnutrition due to excessive alimentation increased more among vulnerable
schoolchildren. SFP is an important reference of healthy eating for the school community.
The SFP Acceptability at basic and middle education levels can still be improved. To improve
the actual consumption of food, the design of the programme is being adjusted and measurements of
acceptability are being carried.
The SFP Acceptability will become the focus of the provider companies’ operational
performance evaluation
Feedbacks will be given to the providers and their best performance will be promoted, being binding for future
bidding processes.

Issues not Solved
Optimization of the delivered services design
The food frequency will increase with better acceptability and nutritional quality.
Implementation of projects aimed at developing products and raw materials with a higher
acceptability.
Implementation of Food Education and promotion of physical activities
To address the cultural process of changing eating habits and to contribute to improving the state of malnutrition
among students.

Déficit of
provision and

profiles
There is shortage of
provision and personnel
profiles, both at the Food
Central Department and at
the level of regional
divisions, which affects the
operation of the
department as well as the
monitoring of their
implementation
nationwide.
SFP advantages over other programmes of the same nature
The target population is limited to a known time frame (school
year) and physical frame (subsidized educational establishments).
Several school food programmes from other countries are affected by the
participants dispersion and by complicated and expensive logistics.
The target population may be organized in a relatively quick and
efficient way to deliver food within education institutions.
With the objective of reducing costs of the programme its operations must be
simple and the organization and food delivery logistics must be very efficient.

SFP advantages over other programmes of the same nature
The volumes of food services that JUNAEB purchase annually
enables economies of scale, hence lower acquisition costs.
The cost of handling and delivery of the programme is relatively
low.
Due to its greater simplicity and general logistics, the costs of the programme
are lower.
The SFP has the capacity and flexibility to deliver food services to the
Chilean student population
Providing food services during the academic year, vacation periods for different
types of beneficiaries (preschool, basic and middle). Complementing other social
programs such as Children whose mothers are seasonly working at SERNAM,
CHISOL, IEF. (versatility of the programme).
Junta Nacional de Auxilio Escolar y Becas
SFP advantages over other programmes of the same nature
The Technical basis of the bidding process regulate nutritional
contributions for each educational level, validated by MINSAL.
Providers are required to have a food structure containing
frequencies and volumes.
The programme makes it possible to implement comprehensive
interventions, for example to combine food delivery with
educational activities on healthy eating, physical activity
promotion, social, cultural and recreational activities.

Food
Security
The program provides social and healthcare protection, and is a
measure of food security for the population segment it serves.
In developing countries, school feeding is an important
component of the student’s daily food intake, and therefore
families’ food security.
It is an economic benefit for the beneficiaries families, it reduces
the expenses households dedicate to education and optimizes
their income.
SFP is recognized, valued and
acknowledged by society
It contributes to improve the students’ nutritional patterns by
providing a nutritious and balanced diet on school days.

SFP Impact Evaluation 2013 - 2014
92% of the board believes
that the meals
assignment is fair
For each $100 annually spent by
the State, the estimated benefit
in terms of money generated for
the society is $130
SFP is a program of high social
impact which targeting method
can still be improved. It can also
overcome poverty as it was
defined when the programme
was launched, since this
conception is not outdated.
Junta Nacional de Auxilio Escolar y Becas
20% of the students define
the program as the main
support for school
80% of the students find the
food is good or very good
The goal is to prevent
absenteeism and dropout of
primary and secondary
education .
Without SFP, 7.2% of the
resources would be lost at this
level.
Without SFP, 9.1% of the resources would be lost at the
primary level, and 13.6% at the secondary level.
SFP Impact Evaluation 2013 - 2014
It is necessary to adjust the
design of the SFP and make it
relevant to the current student
population needs and challenges
and also public policy needs, as a
rights-based approach
SFP has not visibly impacted
school performance variables
nor attendance
SFP has indirect impact on the variables it seeks to
influence (access and retention in the school system),
associated with the improvement of the students’
economic status and / or vulnerability.
SFP has an important
redistributive effect on
Education, Health and
Distributive Impact of Social
Expenditure, according to the
Monetary Grants Assessing
Methodology for (MDS).
No robust and statistically significant differences were found for the analyzed groups (SFP versus no SFP) in
the variables of performance, attendance, repetition and dropout rates. Some isolated variables of
performance and support were found for the students who were enrolled in the first grade of secondary in
2010, suggesting that SFPs have lower student attendance records and lower than non-SFP endnotes effects
were detected.
National studies indicate that feeding would influence the Chilean students’ performance, retention or
assistance.
Junta Nacional de Auxilio Escolar y Becas
SFP Impact Evaluation 2013 - 2014
The food is perceived as
quality food, but is taste is
evaluated as regular.
The theoretical Targeting (SINAE) does not necessarily coincide
with the actual allocation.
This impacts negatively in all aspects of the program
implementation: design, budget management, monitoring and
evaluation, determining the quality of service, etc.
Intermediate and final
results only found
significant impacts on
nutritional variables
among students who were
in 6th grade in 2010.
The nutritional impacts were:
Reduction of body mass index and
the weight-length relationship
Lower perception of overweight by SFP students (treated) versus
students who did not received SFP feeding.
