PART I, LINE 2:THROUGH REGULAR REPORTS AND SITE VISITS, THE LUNCHBOX FUND-UNITED STATES (LBF-US) ASSESSES THE LUNCHBOX FUND-SOUTH AFRICA'S (LBF-SA) USE OF GRANT FUNDS TO ACHIEVE ITS PROGRAM PURPOSES. THE FOUNDER AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF LBF-US, MS.

LBF-SA ALSO CLOSELY MONITORS THE SUCCESS AND INTEGRITY OF ITS FOOD DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM AND REPORTS TO LBF-US ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. LBF-SA HAS A MYRIAD OF STRUCTURES AND SYSTEMS IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT FOOD IS BEING PROPERLY TRANSPORTED TO PARTICIPATING SITES, STORED, PREPARED, AND SERVED TO SOUTH AFRICAN CHILDREN. EACH EDUCATIONAL SITE THAT AGREES TO PARTICIPATE IN LBF-SA'S FOOD DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM ENTERS INTO A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU), WHEREBY THE SCHOOL COMMITS TO FOLLOWING LBF-SA'S RULES AND PARTICIPATING IN MONITORING VISITS. LBF-SA CONDUCTS UNANNOUNCED MONITORING VISITS OF EACH PARTICIPATING SITE TWICE A YEAR. DURING THE MONITORING VISITS, AN IN-DEPTH MONITORING FORM IS COMPLETED, PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TAKEN, AND THE AMOUNT OF FOOD IN STORAGE IS NOTED. ANY SITE THAT IS FOUND TO BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROGRAM RULES IS GIVEN PROPER NOTICE, WITH ONE MONTH TO BECOME FULLY COMPLIANT. A FOLLOW-UP MONITORING VISIT IS CONDUCTED TO ASSESS WHETHER THE SITE HAS MADE NEEDED CHANGES TO BECOME COMPLIANT WITH PROGRAM RULES. IF PROGRAM RULES HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY MET, THEN THE SITE IS IMMEDIATELY EXCLUDED FROM THE NUTRITION PROGRAM AND FOOD DELIVERY TO THE SITE IS STOPPED. NEW MOUS ARE ENTERED INTO EVERY YEAR WITH COMPLIANT SITES.
