The government should extend the sponsored SFP to Vihiga District since this is an area that experiences food shortages almost throughout the year, affecting the nutritional status of school children. There may be need to establish whether improved socio-economic status can enhance greater participation of parents in the school lunch. Finally, all parents and schools in Vihiga District should be encouraged to venture into this programme of school lunch because of its positive outcome on nutritional status of school children.
