Background

About the Strategic Plan for the PPAN Research Agenda


Research is the foundation that supports evidence-based policymaking
and programming.
Stressing the need for strengthened research and development initiatives to
improve the nutrition of Filipinos and support the implementation of the Philippine
Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN), the PPAN Research Agenda 2019-2028 was
developed. Upon the recommendation of the technical working group, a strategic
plan was formulated with different stakeholders to help advance the research
agenda

The Strategic Plan of the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN)
Research Agenda 2022-2028 describes strategies and activities that seek to
provide an enabling environment for the implementation of the PPAN Research
Agenda.

It aims to provide guidance to nutrition stakeholders at the national and local levels,
including government agencies, development partners, non-government
organizations and civil society, academe, and other partner organizations and
institutions on the conduct of high-impact activities and strategies. Consistent with a
results-oriented approach, the plan also includes a monitoring and evaluation
Background
framework to support implementation.

Background
Implementation framework synthesis
Outputs derived from the consultative workshop were synthesized into three segments of a Knowledge Management Value Chain, namely:
knowledge creation and assembly; knowledge translation and dissemination; and knowledge utilization. Knowledge management is de ned as the
optimization and functional integration of the production, translation, dissemination and utilization of knowledge for problem-solving and
organizational effectiveness. This framework provides the strategic foundation for the implementation of the PPAN Research Agenda.
