The Fortified Whole Grain (FWG ) was a pilot project supported by the Rockefeller Foundation between August 2020 and December 2021 in Rwanda to replace refined maize flour in school meals with FWG flour. The pilot, implemented by Vanguard Economics in collaboration with the World Food Programme (WFP), developed an FWG maize flour for procurement by WFP’s school feeding program. The pilot presented the first step towards implementing a large-scale, budget-neutral shift in school feeding in Africa towards fortified whole grain foods
The main Challenge being addressed by FWG, is Food security and malnutrition.
