The McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program (McGovern-Dole) provides for the donation of agricultural commodities and the provision of financial and technical assistance to improve the education, food security, and health of school-age children, especially girls, in
developing countries.
U. S. commodities are made available for donation through agreements with Private Voluntary Organizations, Cooperatives, Intergovernmental Organizations, and Foreign Governments who implement the school feeding and educational improvement projects.
