Guided by the theories of Abraham Maslow, the research aimed to assess the program's effectiveness in improving nutritional well-being, attendance, academic performance, and enrollment rates. A descriptive research design employing a mixed-methods approach was adopted. Data was collected through questionnaires administered to 213 participants (teachers, administrators, and parents) and content analysis of documentary sources. The findings revealed that the SFP has a positive influence on several key factors, including improved nutritional well-being, increased attendance and enrollment, enhanced academic performance, and reduced financial burdens on families. However, challenges related to inconsistent meal delivery, insufficient funding, and inadequate infrastructure were identified. Based on the research, recommendations are made for increased funding allocation, improved training for kitchen staff, partnerships with local communities, infrastructure development, regular surveys and assessments, and enhanced monitoring and evaluation. The study concludes that the SFP plays a significant role in promoting primary school enrollment and student well-being in Gombe State, with further improvement dependent on addressing identified challenges....Preview Download Preview +Other Political Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Federalism and national integration in Nigeria: issues and challenges»The role of local government in rural development: a study of Warri north local government area of Delta state»The role of political parties in democratic governance in Nigeria: a case study of PDP: 1999-2007»Dependency and underdevelopment in Africa: the Nigerian experience»Terrorism and Nigerias economy: an assessment of the boko haram insurgency»Nigerian federalism and local government autonomy»Women empowerment in Nigerian politics: (case study of Udi local government area)»Poverty reduction and sustainable development in Nigeria»Poverty and youth restiveness in Nigeria.
