I. INTRODUCTION
1. The 2022 target outcomes of PPAN 2017-2022 cannot be achieved without all LGUs
improving their nutrition program in their provinces, cities and municipalities. The LGU action is
imperative if the nation is to change the nutrition landscape in the country which the National
Nutrition Council (NNC) calls alarming.
2. Malnutrition is associated with half of child mortality in the Philippines and more than half of
child morbidity.
3. Stunting in particular affects 4.6 million under five-year-old children equivalent to every one
in three Filipino child today. The negative impact of stunting on the brain development of the
child is well established. The brain of stunted children is 40 percent smaller than those of the
normal child. And the frontal lobe responsible for analysis, communication and memory are
severely degraded in the brains of stunted children. On the other hand, individuals with
reduced functioning of the ventral prefrontal cortex of the brain, especially during childhood,
tend to have severe antisocial behavior and impaired moral judgment.
All told, the children who survived but had stunting when they were 0-24 months old have
finish less schooling years, less income from work and have less healthier families. The cost of
malnutrition in the Philippines is about 4B US dollars every year roughly about 3 percent of our
GDP. The cost is like having a Yolanda every year devastating the country’s precious assets – our
young people and future citizens.
4. Stunting is not the only form of malnutrition affecting our country. Wasting affects about 1
million children equivalent to 7.8 percent of children under five. The Philippines is second to
shortest in ASEAN, 9th in the global burden in stunting and 10th in wasting. Overweight and
obesity is on the rise among children 0-5 and several micronutrient deficiencies are above
public health norms of the WHO including Vitamin A, iron deficiency and iodine.
5. The Regional Plan of Action for Nutrition 2019-2022 of Region ___ and that of the other 16
regions have been completed detailing and committing the outcomes to be delivered by
8

sectoral agencies by end 2022. The war against stunting and malnutrition cannot be won
without the 1,700 LGUs in the Philippines joining hands and taking action in their own locality.
There are good examples of highly performing LGUs who have achieved good results in
nutrition and have sustained them over. These highly performing LGUs have signified intention
to guide LGUs willing to take the journey to ascend in nutrition programming for results.
7. The Provincial/Municipal/City Nutrition Action Plan for 2020-2022 is a plan formulated by the
leadership of the Provincial Governor/Municipal/City Mayor with the Provincial/Municipal/City
Nutrition Committee members and the constituent elected leadership in the LGUs covered by
the province/municipality/city.

Ambisyon Natin 2040 is the Philippines’ long-term vision, i.e. “By 2040, the Philippines shall be a prosperous, predominantly middle-class
society where no one is poor, our people shall live long and healthy lives, be smart and innovative, and shall live in a high-trust society. The
Philippines hereby aims to triple real per capita income, and eradicate hunger and poverty by 2040, if not sooner” (Executive Order 05, October
2017).

Percentage of infants 5 months old Increase the percentage of infants 5 months old who are
who are exclusively breastfed exclusively breastfed from the baseline of 73.4% in 2019
to 91.8% by 2022
To achieve the 2022 outcome targets, the following key strategies will be implemented:
1. Focus on the first 1000 days of life. The first 1000 days of life refer to the period of
pregnancy up to the first two years of the child. The LNAP will ensure that key health,
nutrition, early education and related services are delivered to ensure the optimum
physical and mental development of the child during this period.
2
Immediate determinants include adequate food intake and nutrient intake, care giving and parenting practices, and low burden of infectious
diseases. (Executive Summary of the Lancet Maternal and Child Nutrition Series, 2013).

The 12 PPAN programs3 will be embodied in the Local Nutrition Action Plan (LNAP) in all LGUs being mobilized in integrating PPAN programs in
the PDPFP, CDP, and LDIPs. However, given the importance of highlighting the First 1000 Days as a banner program and the need for limiting
P/P/As that will compete in the long list of projects and the final inclusion in the LDIPs of LGUs, it is important to combine some of the 12
programs under five key headings without missing any of the 12 PPAN programs.
To facilitate the listing of PPAN-based projects and activities, the following Table 1 shows the corresponding short titles to be used in mapping
each of the 12 PPAN programs under the five key program headings.

The 12 PPAN programs are as follows: 1) Philippine Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition, 2) Infant and Young Child Feeding, 3) Micronutrient
Supplementation, 4) National Nutrition Promotion Program for Behavior Change, 5) National Dietary Supplementation Program, 6) Overweight and Obesity
Management and Prevention Program, 7) Mandatory Food Fortification, 8) Nutrition in Emergencies, 9) Nutrition-sensitive Projects, 10) Mobilization of local
government units for nutrition outcomes, 11) Policy development for food and nutrition, 12) Strengthened management support to the PPAN 2017 – 2022.

The Implementation Plan of Province/City/Municipality Nutrition Action Plan defines the individual
institutional accountability for each of the projects and common accountabilities with respect to outcome
targets. The P/C/MNAP then consists of individual and shared accountabilities to deliver outputs and
outcomes. The delivery of outcomes and outputs which entail institutional resources and are ultimately the
responsibility of the accountable agencies.
Institutional accountabilities also include accountability for coordination of the LNAP. The
Provincial/Municipal/City Nutrition Committee, as the counterpart body of the Regional Nutrition
Committee of Region ____ as well as the NNC Governing Board, shall primarily serve as the mechanism to
oversee the progressive implementation of the LNAP. This function covers integrating and harmonizing
actions for nutrition improvement at the provincial level. It will be composed of the same agencies as the
NNC Governing Board and the Regional Nutrition Committee with additional member agencies as may be
needed and appropriate for the province/city/municipality. The LNC will continue to coordinate nutrition
actions at the provincial, city, and municipal levels.
The functions of the Local Nutrition Committee are: to formulate, coordinate, monitor, and evaluate the
provincial/city/municipal nutrition action plan. It also extends technical assistance to lower level local
nutrition committees along nutrition program management. The membership of the LNC may be expanded
to include stakeholders/partners deemed to contribute to the effective implementation of the LNAP and
achievement of set nutrition outcomes supported by an enabling policy issuance. It may create technical
working groups and other similar inter-agency groups to address particular issues and strengthen
interagency coordination.
In the discharge of each local coordination function including of the LNAP, processes have been instituted in
the past and will continue to be harnessed for the delivery of the LNAP. The P/M/C/NC shall facilitate the
following: 1) formulation of the Annual Provincial/City/Municipal Operational or Work and Financial Plan to
support the implementation of LNAP; 2) convening of the LNC quarterly meetings; and 3) annual program
implementation review of the LNAP.

The overall implementation plan/provincial results matrix (for province) is the reference document for
designing the monitoring system including annual program implementation reviews, mid-term reviews and
the end-of-plan evaluation.
As a management tool, the management meetings and quarterly reporting of the Local Nutrition
Committee will be used as a platform for LGU monitoring of the LNAP. While the report is important, it is
the discussion at the LNC that is more vital in terms of ensuring that
corrections/revisions/improvements/enhancement are undertaken by individual agencies and the LNC as a
whole in response to the emerging issues and problems in implementation. The management decision in
the quarterly meetings will guide the Regional Nutrition Committee and the NNC Regional office in following
up LNAP implementation.
At the end of each year, the LNC will convene an annual Program Implementation Review (PIR) which is
conducted every last quarter of the year. This will allow LNC member agencies and local government units
to integrate revisions to the program/s for the coming budget year. The PIR, benefiting from initial annual
progress reports from the agencies, undertakes a rigorous and reflective analysis of the experience in the
implementation for the year to design improvements in the Plan for the following year. In the course of the
implementation year, the Provincial Nutrition Office will collect important nuggets of lessons that can guide
the planning for the coming year in addition to what will be brought by the agencies in the PIR.
The midterm review of the PPAN 2017-2022 is planned in 2019/2020. NNC in consultation with the 17
regions may opt to conduct regional mid-term reviews for the RPAN. Determination to undertake this in
the 36 focus provinces will be a joint decision of the RNC and the provinces.
Each of the NNC Regional Office working hand in hand with the Nutrition Surveillance Division (NSD) and
the Nutrition Policy and Planning Division (NPPD) of NNC will determine whether individual evaluation of
every province will be undertaken in 2022 in time for the review of the PPAN and the formulation of the
successor National Plan 2023-2028. In case the decision for every region to have its own RPAN evaluation,
then the RNPC will endeavor to prepare early for such exercise and coordinate the participation of with
their respective PPAN focus provinces in the exercise.

PROJECT BRIEF
PROJECT BRIEF #1
Location : Municipal-wide
Project Cost : P
I. Rationale
The Philippines recognizes the alarming state of malnutrition in the country. The 2015
Updating of the National Nutrition Survey revealed that stunting stood at 33.4% affecting 4.6
million under-five years old; wasting among the same age group was estimated at 7.1%
equivalent to about 1 million children while overweight and obesity for children was reported
to be about 3.8% equivalent to 0.5 million children under-five years old. Malnutrition has
significant negative consequences particularly in terms of poor health, lost human capital, and
decreased economic productivity. In recognition of this alarming state of malnutrition, current
national policies7 declares the need for all sectors at all levels to work together in addressing all
forms of malnutrition in the country particularly stunting 8.
The Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) 2017-2022 identified 36 focus provinces
having the highest prevalence of stunting to be prioritized for nutrition program management
to ensure achievement of planned outcomes. Based on the same survey, the stunting rate of
Masbate is at 48% which is significantly higher than the national and regional averages (33.4%
and 40.2% respectively) affecting an estimated 59,816 children under-five years old. The
province ranked second in provinces in the Bicol Region with stunting prevalence. This lists
Masbate as one of the PPAN focus provinces. The Municipality of Aroroy mirrors the nutrition
situation of the province.
7
These national policies include the Philippine Development Plan and the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition
(PPAN) 2017-2022, Republic Act 11037: “Masustansyang Pagkain para sa Batang Pilipino Act”, Republic Act 11148:
“Kalusugan at Nutrisyon ng Mag-Nanay Act”, among others.
8
Stunting is the result of long-term nutritional deprivation and often results in delayed mental development, poor
school performance and reduced intellectual capacity.

Draft LNAP
as of ____ 2019
The PPAN calls for an enabling program designed to assist the nutrition-specific programs and
projects9 to be achieved with greater degree of efficiency and effectiveness. One of the major
projects along this line is the mobilization of local government units for delivery of positive
nutritional outcomes. The mobilization of LGUs is designed to move the 36 PPAN focus
provinces and their constituent local government units into action to produce the desired
nutritional outcomes - reduce/prevent all forms of malnutrition in the municipality/city and
constituent municipalities and cities particularly stunting during the first 1,000 days of life (F1K).
The mobilization will aim to convert LGUs with low-intensity nutrition programs to ones that
deliver nutritional outcomes during the six-year period of the PPAN. LGU mobilization as a
project is expected to facilitate convergence of services, requiring the engagement and
involvement of national government agencies, the Municipal government and the sectoral units
and other partner agencies of the barangays being mobilized.
II. Project Objectives
The over-all objective of the project is to mobilize ALL constituent barangays towards the
delivery of positive nutrition outcomes particularly during the first 1,000 days. More
specifically, the project aims to:
1) Increase the level of awareness and understanding and political support of all Punong
Barangay on the rationale of investing in nutrition particularly on the first 1,000 days
and in providing leadership for scaled up nutrition action
2) Build the capacities of Punong Barangays and the local nutrition committees of all
constituent municipalities and cities in the management of quality nutrition programs
particularly on the first 1,000 days and in delivering and sustaining positive results for
nutrition
3) Provide opportunities for learning from performing LGUs through a peer learning
approach and conduct of learning exchange/visits
5) Document and disseminate good practices and actions on nutrition/F1K as a tool for
LGU mobilization
6) Develop and implement an incentives and awards system for well performing barangays
and local implementers
9
These are interventions or programs that address the immediate determinants of maternal, fetal, infant and child
nutrition and development and low burden of infectious diseases

PROJECT BRIEF #2
Proponent: Municipality
Implementing Agency: Municipal Planning and Development Office
Municipal Nutrition Office
I. Rationale
One of the projects under the nutrition-sensitive program is the Farm to Market Road project.
The Agriculture and Fishery Modernization Act (AFMA) of 1997 or Republic Act No. 8435,
mandated the construction and upgrading of farm-to-market roads as one of the priority
infrastructure interventions with significant impact in increasing agricultural productivity and
reducing losses by Filipino farmers. The farm to market road project holds the potential for
tweaking to become nutritionally sensitive in its employment of workers for construction from
locally identified food insecure and nutritionally vulnerable households within the LGU.
The opportunity for tweaking the farm to market road project is expressed in Republic Act No.
6685 (Localization of workers for construction) which states: “All private contractors, including
subcontractors, to whom awards are made for the undertaking of national and local public
works projects funded by either the National Government or any local government unit
including foreign-assisted projects must hire at least fifty percent (50%) of the unskilled and
thirty percent (30%) of the skilled labor requirements from the unemployed bona fide and
7
Draft LNAP
as of ____ 2019
actual residents in the province, city and municipality who are ready, willing and able as
determined by the governor, city mayor or municipal mayor concerned where the projects are
to be undertaken.”
The Farm to Market road project will be able to improve the agriculture and economic situation
of the community while at the same time improving the overall food security of the targeted
poor households. Such project will provide additional income to poor households which can be
used to provide the daily nutritional needs of the family members, especially the nutritionally-
vulnerable which include pregnant and lactating women, infants and children aged 6-23 mos. In
addition, nutrition education along with continuous follow-up and monitoring by the Barangay
Nutrition Scholar/s will ensure that the increase in income is translated into good nutrition
practices in the targeted households. With the construction of these farm to market roads,
social and economic advantages are expected. Income will increase along with the improved
access to markets, social services are also made more accessible, and improved health and
nutrition can be secured among the beneficiaries.
From the period 2020 to 2022, employ able-bodied workers coming from locally
identified food insecure and nutritionally vulnerable families in the construction of all
farm to market road projects in the Municipality/City of Aroroy that will provide for
increased income, which together with enhanced knowledge, skills, and practices on
proper nutrition, facilitate improved food security and nutritional status of children in
the targeted households. These pre-selected workers from food insecure and
nutritionally vulnerable families can constitute at least 50% of the total workforce an
LGU is entitled to originate from its constituents.
1. All farm to market road projects in the municipality employ workers from identified

PROJECT BRIEF
Project Title : Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition
Project Cost : P
I. Rationale
The 2015 National Nutrition Survey (NNS) estimates acute malnutrition/wasting among
under-five years old Filipino children at 7.2% 11. This is equivalent to about 1 million children and is
considered a public health significance. The Municipal wasting prevalence is also 7.2%.
Severe and moderate acute malnutrition or wasting is associated with increased risk of
health and nutrition deterioration and even death for infants and young children, in addition to
growth retardation and impaired psychosocial and cognitive development. In the long run, it results
to overall poor individual productivity and economic gains.
Based on same 2019 NNS, the prevalence of wasting of children under-five years old in the
municipality is 7.2% - higher than the national prevalence, and affecting an estimated 9,00 children.
This list makes Aroroy ranked 5 on prevalence of wasting in the province of Masbate.
Yet, acute malnutrition is preventable and treatable but only when sufficient support is
accessible and given at the right time during calamities and even in normal situations. Services for
the treatment and management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and moderate acute
malnutrition (MAM) are delivered through in-patient treatment centers, out-patient treatment
centers and target supplementary feeding program sites12.
Given this alarming situation and in support to the PPAN program Philippine Integrated
Management of Acute Malnutrition or PIMAM, there is a need for the province to establish and/or
strengthen the integrated management of acute malnutrition (IMAM)) within the health system to
achieve set service targets and deliver outcomes.
11
Assessment criteria in determining magnitude and severity of: wasting: <2.5% - very low, 2.5% to < 5%- low, 5% to <
10% - medium, 10% to <15% - High, ≥15% - Very High (WHO 2018)
12
These are provided for in the National Guidelines on the Management of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) for Under-
Five Children and the National Guidelines on the Management of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) for Under-Five
Children

The IMAM project will entail three major complementary activities: 1) establishment of
inpatient therapeutic care (ITC) for SAM and outpatient therapeutic care (OTC) for SAM and MAM as
well as support the establishment of the same in the priority constituent LGUs; 2) training of health
and nutrition human resource; and 3) coordination and monitoring the progress of project
implementation
Constituent LGUs with high incidence and magnitude of poverty, high prevalence of wasting,
most vulnerable to shocks and disasters, with GIDA and with IP communities will be prioritized for
the three-year project implementation.
II. Project Objectives
The over-all objective of the project is to establish and strengthen the integrated
management of acute malnutrition within the municipal health system and in at least 80% of its
barangay to achieve the service target of at least 90% of SAM and 90% of MAM cases
treated/rehabilitated.
Specific objectives:
1) Capacitate 100% of municipal health and nutrition human resources and at least 80% of
barangays are trained on the appropriate competencies to identify, treat and manage acute
malnutrition both under routine health program and during emergencies
3) Organize Inpatient Therapeutic Care (ITC), Outpatient Therapeutic Care (OTC), and targeted
Supplementary Feeding (TSFP) for the treatment and management of SAM and MAM cases
to ensure timely delivery of quality services both under routine health program and during
emergencies
3) Ensure the effective implementation of the mechanism, standards and procedures for the
supply and logistics management (planning, procurement, storage, allocation, distribution
and monitoring) to ensure that commodities are available at treatment point
5) Ensure the regular and timely provision of technical support and supportive supervision to
IMAM program managers and implementers
6) Establish partnership with existing food plants for the utilization of complementary foods
produced for non-availability of Ready-to-Use Supplementary Food (RUSF)
