Embu County is exploring the use of tap-to-eat technology as part of efforts to modernise school feeding programmes and improve food service delivery in learning institutions.
The development was highlighted in a report by the Kenya News Agency on November 5.
School feeding programmes play an important role in supporting learners’ nutrition, school attendance and concentration, particularly among children from vulnerable households.
The proposed technological approach points towards efforts to improve the management and delivery of meals within school environments.
Adopting digital solutions in school feeding programmes could also create opportunities for better monitoring of meal distribution and accountability.
However, the effectiveness of the proposed approach will depend on implementation costs, accessibility and the ability of schools to adopt the technology.
