Description
Summary:The achievement of the multi-dimensional impact of a national school feeding program critically depends on its effective implementation. We utilize game theory to analyze the interactions among stakeholders, such as the state, local government, and third-party organizations, and the dynamics of their underlying interests and incentives that may facilitate or hinder cooperation. We explore some coordination paradigms and model the utility functions for each player. Our analysis shows that any partnership between stakeholders creates greater value compared to if they work individually.
