Financial Instruments Toolkit for Regenerative School Meals

This toolkit offers a groundbreaking approach to connect agricultural production that optimizes for climate resilience and school meal programs, enabling countries to achieve multiple development outcomes at scale.

It includes a comprehensive framework for investing in regenerative agriculture and school meals together via strategic public and private investment instruments, which are ripe for this transformational solution. The framework offers pathways to new funding streams, including domestic budgets, international climate funds, and private capital, and coordinating mechanisms to operationalize regenerative school meals at scale.

Finance Ministers and international financiers can use the toolkit to advance their priorities (agriculture development, education, nutrition, fiscal stability, climate resilience) through targeted investments and learn from an array of global case studies demonstrating policy innovation.

The report includes:

• RSM financing architecture
• Debt for RSM swap flow of funds
• RSM credit guarantees
• Results-based financing contracts
