Consequently, the first study visit to Her <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">Royal Highness\u2019 project was undertaken in early 2007 by a multisectoral <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">team, led by the Vice Minister of the Mongolian Ministry of Education, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">Culture and Science (MECS), which thereafter planned to conduct a pilot <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">school feeding project in Altanbulag soum (district), Tuv aimag (province).<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">Subsequently, the working group of the pilot school, led by the Governor <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">of Altanbulag soum, undertook a visit to Thailand in January 2009.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">A five-year collaborative pilot project was established in the secondary <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">school of Altanbulag soum with the intention of developing a comprehensive <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">model for the future scaling-up of a school feeding program. This program <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">would apply Her Royal Highness\u2019 practical experience in improving school <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">children\u2019s nutrition and health, and thus facilitate their learning. The <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">project promotes \u2018learning by doing\u2019 in food production, nutrition, basic <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">sanitation, and food hygiene, thus ensuring food security and livelihood. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">It also promotes participation by multisectoral teams at central, local, and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">community levels.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">The project consists of four main components: (1) personnel capacity <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">building, (2) vegetable and fruit tree plantations and dairy cows for milk production <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">as a learning experience for food production and food preservation, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">(3) nutrition and health promotion by providing school meals and snacks, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">as well as monitoring child growth, and (4) basic sanitation and hygiene by <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">improving water supply and waste systems. The ongoing project involves <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">464 students, 30 teachers, and community members of Altanbulag soum.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">On August 25, 2009, Her Royal Highness paid her first visit to the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">secondary school of Altanbulag soum. The pilot school showed good progress. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">The school could produce food and store it in an appropriate storage <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\">facility for the winter time.

Consequently, the first study visit to Her Royal Highness\u2019 project was undertaken in early 2007 by a multisectoral team, led by the Vice Minister of the Mongolian Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (MECS), which thereafter planned to conduct a pilot school feeding project in Altanbulag soum (district), Tuv aimag (province).Subsequently, the working group of the pilot school, led by the Governor of Altanbulag soum, undertook a visit to Thailand in January 2009. A five-year collaborative pilot project was established in the secondary school of Altanbulag soum with the intention of developing a comprehensive model for the future scaling-up of a school feeding program. This program would apply Her Royal Highness\u2019 practical experience in improving school children\u2019s nutrition and health, and thus facilitate their learning. The project promotes \u2018learning by doing\u2019 in food production, nutrition, basic sanitation, and food hygiene, thus ensuring food security and livelihood. It also promotes participation by multisectoral teams at central, local, and community levels. The project consists of four main components: (1) personnel capacity building, (2) vegetable and fruit tree plantations and dairy cows for milk production as a learning experience for food production and food preservation, (3) nutrition and health promotion by providing school meals and snacks, as well as monitoring child growth, and (4) basic sanitation and hygiene by improving water supply and waste systems. The ongoing project involves 464 students, 30 teachers, and community members of Altanbulag soum. On August 25, 2009, Her Royal Highness paid her first visit to the secondary school of Altanbulag soum. The pilot school showed good progress. The school could produce food and store it in an appropriate storage facility for the winter time. Thereafter, in the year 2014, the Mongolian Ministry of Education, Culture and Science Mongolia decided to expand Her Royal Highness model to another 4 schools in Tuv, Dundgobi, Central and Sukhbaatar provinces.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14423&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600&#215;400&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_3d&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;25887&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600&#215;400&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_3d&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680684997991{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;Participating Schools&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] Participating Schools [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;26321&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_3d&#8221; onclick=&#8221;img_link_large&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]1) Secondary School of Altanbulag soum\u00a0 Tuv Province 2) Secondary School of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psproject.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25769"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psproject.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psproject.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psproject.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psproject.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25769"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/www.psproject.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25769\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51336,"href":"https:\/\/www.psproject.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25769\/revisions\/51336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psproject.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
