Annual CV Nutrition Month SalesCon goes Online
Cebu City – Adapting to the new normal but not letting go of tradition to maintain healthy working relationships with partners all over the region, the National Nutrition Council Region VII will still be holding its annual Nutrition Month Sales Conference on 29 May 2020.
Aimed to gather partners both old and new to help promote this year’s Nutrition Month themed “Batang Pinoy SANA TALL… Iwas Stunting, SAMA ALL!,” for the country’s 46th NM celebration, the Sales Conference will be tackling topics on how stunting affects the growth and development of individuals and the community, as well as touching on the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic which is still affecting the region.
Because Central Visayas data show that 2 out of 5 children below five years old are stunted or chronically malnourished and with the impending problems that may arise in both food and nutrition security due to the pandemic, the activity hopes to find new partners or re-establish collaborators not only for nutrition month and but also for rehab and recovery interventions from the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19.
The online conference will feature a talk on the importance of the first 1000 days by a well-known pediatrician and breastfeeding advocate, Dr. Marini T. Esguerra and a presentation on food and nutrition security and its implication to stunting by an equally eloquent speaker on the topic, Information Officer III, Mr. Melquiades B. Ibarra of DA RFO 7.
The sales conference shall also be presenting the region’s plans for Nutrition Month’s celebration. The government and non-government sectors can take part in the event as everyone has a role to play in these very trying times.
With the fluidity of the situation, the Regional Nutrition Committee with NNC 7 as its secretariat is bracing for alternative platforms to reach more audiences in this campaign with the NM sales conference as its first leg as it strives to gain more partners and allies.
Details for the activity can be found on the NNC 7’s Facebook event page. See you there! //NGS
