Comparative school feeding, with traceable evidence

193 countries assessed across eight dimensions โ€” law, budget, procurement, operation, coverage โ€” with score, evidence and confidence always kept separate; and the in-depth Compendium on Brazil: the Union, 26 states and the DF, capital cities and the full municipal coverage from FNDE.

Countries

Assessment across 8 dimensions with a 0โ€“5 rubric, maturity band, evidence and confidence โ€” a dimension without evidence appears as "not assessed", never as zero.

Source catalogue

Global and Brazilian sources with the original URL preserved, verified active URL and technical access status.

How to read this: an approved law does not prove implementation; percentages refer to the federal FNDE transfer, unless otherwise indicated; financial stages (forecast, transfer, commitment, verification, payment) remain separate. The technical access label of a source does not replace legal verification that it is in force.
