School Milk and Dairy Programs in Nine African Countries

Nine African countries are profiled in a study characterizing school milk and dairy programs. The research draws on quantitative data and stakeholder interviews to understand program implementation and challenges. The dataset, a 686.5 KB document, was authored by Yale Warner and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative analysis of school feeding program structures based on the nine-country study scope.
• Identifying common challenges for dairy-based nutrition initiatives based on described cost and infrastructure barriers.
• Policy research on linking agricultural economies to public health based on the described potential of dairy for local economies.

Strengths

• Focuses on nine specific African countries: Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.
• Combines quantitative data and semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, as described in the methods.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 686.5 KB DOCX file, suggesting a limited scope primarily containing textual analysis rather than raw quantitative data.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
