NNC 7 engages with community-based organizations to address stunting

Presidential Proclamation 922 and 929 were enacted to declare a state of public emergency throughout the Philippines. Through this declaration, it capacitates government agencies and local government to urgently take measures to prevent loss of life, and deterioration of the current economic, health, and nutrition situation among others. This proclamation calls government agencies and local sectors to work together to achieve a multi-sectoral approach.

National Nutrition Council, the country's highest policymaking and coordination body in nutrition, answers to the Malacañang’s call by operationalizing the RA 11148 or the Kalusugan at Nutrisyon Nang Magnanay Act by launching the Tutok Kainan Supplementation Program (TKSP). The main objective of the program is to reduce stunting in the country by preventing the degeneration of our children's nutrition status. The program provides dietary supplementation to pregnant women, and children aged six to 23 months old through the provision of a dry and wet feeding scheme.

The wet feeding scheme of the dietary supplementation of the program does not only benefits the recipients of the TKSP but also opens the window for the local producers. NNC adheres to the GPPB Resolution No. 17-2016, approving the Community Participation Procurement Manual (CPPM) for the Partnership against Hunger and Poverty (PAHP) Program. With the use of community participation, NNC 7 has partnered with three cooperatives in the region.
