The Ministry of Education has asked the United Nations Development Program, the World Food Program and Unicef to take over the design and implementation of a plan to improve the logistics, protocols for early warnings and nutritional monitoring of the RD$17 million a day public school breakfast program. The program is now entrusted to these entities for the next eight months, as reported in Listin Diario. The restructuring program will cost RD$18 million. Education Minister Melanio Paredes made the announcement with UNDP representative Valerie Julliand. Maria Jesus Conde of UNICEF also took part in the press conference.
