Abstract：
Since its launch in 2011, 59 governments have used the World Bank\'s Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER) policy tool to design their national school-based health and nutrition programs. This tool guides governments to self-evaluate their education system policies against international benchmarks and identify actionable priorities to strengthen national programs. Thirty-two of the 49 countries in sub-Saharan Africa (65%) have undertaken a SABER review, and globally the approach has been adopted by 68% of the world\'s low-income countries and 54% of lower-middle-income countries. Analysis of 51 comparable SABER School Feeding surveys suggests that countries with longer established national school meals frameworks tend also to be more advanced in other policy areas, and vice versa. The SABER reviews consistently identify, perhaps predictably, that the weakest policy areas relate to program design, implementation and fiscal space. This analysis also found that the tool had an additional value in tracking the evolution of policies when implemented over several time points, and showed that policy areas become more advanced as national programs mature. These benefits of the tool are particularly relevant to the 98 countries that co-created the global School Meals Coalition in 2021. The Coalition member countries have the specific goal of enhancing coverage and support for the well-being of schoolchildren and adolescents affected by the school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. The SABER tool has the demonstrated potential to implement, accelerate and track changes in school meals policy and, since it has been previously used by 74% (31/42) of low- and lower-middle-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa, is an already accepted element of the political economies of those countries and so has the potential to be deployed rapidly.
摘要：
自2011年启动以来，已有59个国家的政府使用世界银行的“促进更好教育成果的系统方法”（SABER）政策工具来设计其基于学校的国家健康和营养计划。该工具指导各国政府对照国际基准自我评估其教育系统政策，并确定可采取行动的优先事项，以加强国家计划。撒哈拉以南非洲49个国家中有32个（65%）进行了SABER审查，在全球范围内，68%的低收入国家和54%的中低收入国家采用了这种方法。对51项可比的SABER学校供餐调查的分析表明，建立国家学校供餐框架更长的国家在其他政策领域也往往更先进。反之亦然。SABER的评论一致确定，也许可以预见，最薄弱的政策领域与方案设计有关，实施和财政空间。此分析还发现，该工具在跟踪几个时间点实施的政策演变方面具有附加价值，并表明随着国家计划的成熟，政策领域变得更加先进。该工具的这些好处与2021年共同创建全球学校膳食联盟的98个国家特别相关。联盟成员国的具体目标是扩大覆盖面，并支持受COVID-19大流行期间学校关闭影响的学童和青少年的福祉。SABER工具具有证明的潜力，加快和跟踪学校膳食政策的变化，因为它以前曾被撒哈拉以南非洲74%(31/42)的低收入和中低收入国家使用，是这些国家政治经济中已经被接受的要素，因此有可能迅速部署。
