2019年，55个国家的1.35亿人陷入或更严重的粮食危机，20亿人无法定期获得安全、营养和充足的食物。2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）加剧了这些困难，到2020年底可能会导致另外1.21亿人面临严重粮食不安全。此外，自大流行开始以来，全球199个国家的16亿学习者估计受到学校关闭的影响，150个国家的近3.7亿儿童没有得到校餐。本文介绍了2019冠状病毒病期间全球学校供餐计划中断可能产生的短期和长期负面影响的证据。它显示了参与这些计划的儿童是多么脆弱，应对和缓解措施往往只是短期解决方案，以及优先考虑学校重新开放是多么重要。例如，报告强调，女孩失学或过早失学的风险更大，这可能导致她们自己和子女营养不良和健康状况不佳。然而，精心设计的学校供餐计划已被证明能够从早期成长失败和其他负面冲击中迎头赶上。因此，一旦学校重新开放，学校供餐计划可以帮助解决儿童在学校关闭期间所经历的贫困问题，并为父母提供动力，让他们的孩子，特别是女孩继续上学。
In 2019, 135 million people in 55 countries were in food crises or worse, and 2 billion people did not have regular access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food. COVID-19 (coronavirus) has exacerbated these hardships and may result in an additional 121 million people facing acute food insecurity by the end of 2020. Further, since the beginning of the pandemic, an estimated 1.6 billion learners in 199 countries worldwide were affected by school closures, with nearly 370 million children not receiving a school meal in 150 countries. The paper presents the evidence on the potential negative short-term and long-term effects of school meal scheme disruption during Covid-19 globally. It shows how vulnerable the children participating in these schemes are, how coping and mitigation measures are often only short-term solutions, and how prioritizing school re-opening is critical. For instance, it highlights how girls are at greater risk of not being in school or of being taken out of school early, which may lead to poor nutrition and health for themselves and their children. However, well-designed school feeding programmes have been shown to enable catch-up from early growth failure and other negative shocks. As such, once schools re-open, school meal schemes can help address the deprivation that children have experienced during the closures and provide an incentive for parents to send and keep their children, especially girls, in school.
