QUICK WINS
The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) works with different nations
and organizations to withstand crises, empower lives and improve the quality of life
for all. One of the UNDP’s intervention programs to achieve the eight millennium
development goals is called QUICK WINS.
 Quick Wins- are actions that can be immediately used within the community or
locate to produce effective results. Below are some examples of UNDP’s QUICK WINS:
 No school fees and free access to educational materials and facilities in

schools to ensure that all children attend classes. This eliminates poor
families’ concept that education is only for those who can afford it. Finances
can include donor assistance from partnerships with private groups.
 Children are provided with free school meals and take-home rations using
locally produced foods.
 Regular annual deworming for all school children especially in impoverished

areas to improve health and education.
 Provision for poor farmers of affordable supplies of soil nitrogen and other
soil nutrients.
 Design community nutrition programs for pregnant, nursing mothers and

children below five years of age. These includes breastfeeding, feeding
programs and micronutrient supplements like Vitamin A and zinc.
 Offer basic skills training of community members in health, farming,

technical-vocational, and infrastructure.
 Free basic health services sponsored by private organizations.
 Expanded access to sexual and reproductive health information and services.

These includes family planning information campaign and services.
 Distribution of free, effective and efficient insecticide-treated bed nets to

families especially in malaria and dengue-endemic areas.
 Active national and local campaigns to reduce violence against women and
children.
 Reform and enforce legislation protecting and empowering women’s and

children’s rights.

poverty reduction strategies, programs and policies.

social service institutions free access to electricity, water, sanitation and
internet using sustainable and renewable energies like solar panels, wind
geothermal generator.
 Plant endemic trees at the community level to provide shade, produce,

watershed protection, windbreak and timber.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
AIDS – Acquired Immune- Deficiency Syndrome. It is a serious and most often fatal
communicable disease of the immune system transmitted through body fluids
like blood, plasma and mucous usually by blood transfusion, sexual contact,
and use of contaminated syringe.
ALCOHOL – a gateway drug which depresses the central nervous system. It is an active
ingredient in beverages like brandy, beer, rum and wine.
CANCER – malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell

reproduction. It may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic
system or the blood.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE – any disease transmitted from one person to another by

direct or indirect contact.
DIABETES – a non-communicable disease characterized by abnormally

high blood sugar levels with symptoms like excessive
urination and persistent thirst.
HEPATITIS- inflammation of the liver caused by a micro-organism or a

toxin.
HIV – stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which causes

the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
GLOBAL HEALTH - the health of the world as a whole, the area of study,
research and practice which gives priority on improving
and achieving equal health for all people worldwide.
GLOBAL INITIATIVE – a program or strategy which addresses global health

issues, concerns, and trends.

Division: Siargao
MALNUTRITION – insufficient or excessive intake of food and nutrients;
inability to absorb food properly.
