Code Utile, a Togolese NGO, runs the Project for the Promotion of Integrated School Feeding, which builds school meals around community-managed agroecological production. According to a 2 June 2026 report from the ECOWAS regional agriculture agency ARAA, eight school gardens were installed and secured since the start of 2026, improving meals for about 2,794 students. Composting devices went into five schools to make natural fertiliser, and schools with scarce water adopted water-saving practices to keep market gardening going. A further 192 mothers who cook the canteen meals were trained in nutrition, diet and kitchen hygiene. The project is funded through ECOWAS and Spain's AECID under a West African school-feeding programme.
