Countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean are seeking to strengthen their school feeding programmes and transition to nationally owned and operated programming. A key first step in this is assessing their educational policies using the Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER).

SABER is a multi-domain initiative developed by the World Bank to conduct in-depth analyses of interventions that quantitatively and qualitatively impact education results (1, 2, and 3). The SABER programme collects comparable data on the policies and institutions of education systems around the world and benchmarks them against good practice.
