Gender Ministry terminates contracts of school feeding coordinators

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.

No official reason was provided for the sudden termination.

In a statement issued on March 4, 2025, Gender Minister Dr. Agnes Naa Momo Lartey announced the decision, expressing gratitude to the affected coordinators for their service.

Part of the statement read, “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 affected staff have been instructed to report to the GSFP Secretariat to collect their termination letters and complete their handover processes.

The GSFP, a government initiative designed to provide free meals to schoolchildren to boost enrollment, attendance, and nutrition, has been a key social intervention programme in Ghana.

However, it has faced recurring challenges, including funding delays, allegations of corruption, and unpaid arrears to caterers.
