The implementation of school feeding programs has been elevated to an international concern. The challenges of Covid-19 have intensified and deepened discussions about the significance of school management teams in the implementation of school feeding programs in Nigeria and around the world. In the face of the novel Covid-19 pandemic, school feeding programs that are intended to alleviate short-term hunger, improve learners' nutrition and cognition, and transfer income to families are being cut short. However, millions of school learners in Nigeria missed out on regular school meals during the lockdown, which impacted negatively their health and well-being. Using the findings of reviewed literature from over 67 publications, the purpose of this paper was to examine the challenges that school management teams faced in providing food to learners during the pandemic and the kind of management choices that enable them to do so even during the time of an emergency. This review was carried out to enlighten developing countries, including Nigeria, regarding the significance of taking precautions and using alternative ways to implement school feeding programs during school closures by governments and non-governmental organizations, such as the World Food Program (WFP).
