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.
In a statement released on March 4, 2025, Gender Minister Dr. Agnes Naa Momo Lartey announced the decision, expressing gratitude to the affected coordinators for their service.
“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 statement read.
The affected coordinators have been instructed to report to the GSFP Secretariat to receive their termination letters and complete the handover process.
The GSFP, a flagship government initiative, aims to provide free meals to schoolchildren to enhance enrollment, attendance, and nutrition. However, the program has faced challenges, including funding delays, allegations of corruption, and unpaid arrears to caterers.
The Ministry did not provide an official reason for the sudden termination of contracts.
