By SAMMY LUTTAMore by this AuthorThe World Food Programme (WFP) will stop funding the school feeding programme in two years. This will leave over 1.5 million children who benefit from the programme in arid and semi-arid regions at risk of dropping out of school. WFP Deputy Country Director Paul Turnbull has said the feeding programme was being gradually handed over to the government and that it expected to fully dissociate itself from it in two years. Since 1980s, the WFP has been feeding over 1.5 million children across the country by providing lunch through funding from various countries and organisations. WFP is however still expected to support the programme for the ongoing second term in Turkana.
