The Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection has terminated the contracts of all Regional and Zonal Coordinators under the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) with immediate effect.
In an official letter signed by Gender Minister Dr. Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, the affected staff were informed of their termination and instructed to report to the GSFP Secretariat for their individual termination letters and handover processes.
“Please be informed that the contracts of all Regional and Zonal Coordinators of the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) are hereby terminated with immediate effect,” the statement read.
Dr. Lartey also expressed appreciation for the contributions of the affected coordinators, saying, “May I take this opportunity to thank you for your service to the nation and wish you well in all your endeavors.”
No official reason has been provided for the sudden termination.
The School Feeding Programme, a key government initiative aimed at improving school enrollment, attendance, and child nutrition, has faced persistent challenges, including funding delays, allegations of corruption, and unpaid arrears to caterers.
