MESSAGE
Maintaining a healthy and good proper nutrition and boosting one’s immune
system in our Barangay Asinan are vital amidst these trying times of Covid-19
Pandemic.
Malnutrition remains a significant public health concern in our Barangay.
Attaining excellence in our BarangayNutrition Action Implementation was long and
difficult but through the perseverance, commitment and cooperation of the members of
our Barangay Nutrition Council, resulted to the consistent decline of malnutrition in our
Barangay.
We also implemented Comprehensive Nutrition Pograms that benefited
malnourished children and their families like the following Nutrition Specific Programs
(Health Care Delivery System, First 1000 Days Program, Expanded Program on
Immunization, Micronutrient Supplementation Program, Feeding Program) Nutrition
Sensitive Programs (Farm to Market Road, Faith Program, Hapag Program, LNEWS
Program, Women’s Livelihood Program ) Enabling Programs, (Strengthening Support to
BNAP, Allocating budget to PPAN Programs) with particular focus on the First 1000
Days to preventing Stunting and other forms of malnutrition.
As a Baranga Chief Executive, achieving nutrition improvement is no easy feat,
but it is definitely possible through our collective efforts and innovative approaches, we
were able to address the problems of Hunger and Malnutrition. We encouraged to
continuously work altogether to make Nutrition Programs a priority and lobby for
increased budgetary allocation. Aside from getting nutrition in the family is a must during
this pandemic.
The road is long and the journey is tough but every great things in life will never
come easy. I know that we all have our own struggles to face our own battles to fight but
we must always keep the faith burning for us to wake up to better days. Nobody is too
far, too deep or too late for redemption.
“Healthy Mind, Healthy Body, Healthy Life! Padayun Ta Buenavistahanon!”

 INTRODUCTION
The Barangay Nutrition Council of Barangay HUNAN with its empowered citizenry, take
again the challenge and get onboard to do a very important mission for the assessment
of Nutrition Program in collaboration with inter-agencies through Local Nutrition Action
Plan.
The Barangay Nutrition Action Plan of Barangay HUNAN of 2024 had been
prepared to identify nutrition interventions aimed to improving social services and had
likewise provided effective action plans developed the Nutrition Program of the
Barangay.

PROFILE OF BARANGAY ASINAN

Barangay HUNAN is located in the highway part of the municipality. It is ___
kilometers away from Poblacion which is the official Capital of the municipality.
Barangay Asinan is mountainous, rugged and hilly which constitute 70% of the
total land area of 16 hectares and the remaining 30% is slightly rolling and flat terrain.

NUTRITION AS A PRIORITY DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGE IN THE BARANGAY OF
ASINAN
The nutrition profile of the Barangay Asinan indicated by the 2023 Operation Timbang Plus
results revealed serious cases of stunting (low height for age), wasting (low weight for
height/length), and overweight/obesity among children. Barangay Asinan in the municipality with
the very low prevalence of stunting among children less than five years old at_____ affecting 0-
59 months old children in 2023. This prevalence was significantly very lower than municipal
prevalence of____ percent. Among the same age group, ____ children were wasted, and____
percent were overweight/obese. Stunting and wasting in the Municipality of Buenavista are
considered public health problems using the WHO cut off points on severity and magnitude. The
most affected are children and pregnant/lactating women including pregnant adolescent
females, those in IP communities, GIDA areas, poorest of the poor households, lowly paid
farmers and fisherfolks as well as food insecure families, among others. If this alarming
malnutrition problem among young children in barangay persists/continues, it will impede on
their survival, overall health and development and learning potential in later years. These, in
turn, leads to less productive lives as adults, and affects their ability to ensure the overall well-
being of future families in Buenavista.

I. INTRODUCTION

1. The target outcomes of PPAN 2023-2028 cannot be achieved without all LGUs
improving their nutrition program in their provinces, cities, and municipalities. LGU
action is an imperative to change the alarming nutrition landscape in the Philippines

2. Malnutrition is associated with half of child mortality in the Philippines and more than
half of child morbidity.

3. Stunting in particular affects 3.1 million under five-year-old children equivalent to

close to one in three Filipino children today (DOST-FNRI, 2021). 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
brain of stunted children.

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 four billion US dollars every
year roughly about three (3) percent of our GDP. The cost equates to the impact of

10
typhoons 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 650,000 children equivalent to 5.5 percent of children under five. The Philippines
is second to shortest in ASEAN, 9 th in the global burden in stunting and 10 th in wasting.
Furthermore, Philippines ranks 67th out of 113 countries in the Global Food Security
Index. 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 2023-2028 of Region 7 and that of the
other 16 regions in the Philippines have been completed detailing and committing the
outcomes to be delivered by sectoral agencies by end 2028. The war against stunting
and malnutrition cannot be won without the 1,700 LGUs in the Philippines joining hands
and acting 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.

6. This Barangay Nutrition Action Plan and investment is the contribution of the local
government of Buenavista to the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023-2028 and
AmBisyon Natin 2040 and finally the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals of the
United Nations.

7. The Barangay Nutrition Action Plan of Buenavista for 2024 is a plan formulated
by the leadership of the BNC Chairmau with the Barangay Nutrition Committee
members and the constituent elected leadership in the BLGUs covered by the
barangay.

11
 VISION
This Barangay Nutrition Action Plan of 2024 is committed on
ensuring to eradicate hunger, malnutrition and prevention of
diseases through effective application of nutritional knowledge to
improve the human health and well being of all
Buenavistahanons, spearheaded by the competent Barangay
Nutrition Council of the Barangay.

12
 MISSION
The Barangay Nutrition Action Plan of Barangay Asinan for
2024 had been prepared to identify nutrition interventions aimed
to improving social services and had likewise provided effective
action plans to develop the nutrition program of the Barangay.

II. NUTRITION SITUATION ANALYSIS

13
 The development of the barangay Asinan continues to be challenged by the
serious malnutrition situation prevailing among the population. In particular, the
municipality continues to face persistent problems of malnutrition such as stunting,
wasting, underweight, overweight/obesity and specific micronutrient deficiencies that
seriously affect children and mothers especially within the First 1000 Days of life.
Barangay Asinan continue to assess and monitor the situation and seek adequate
responses to the alarming situation. The following Table summarizes the essential
nutrition situational analysis data to guide the planning of nutrition interventions

In terms of geographical distribution, it has been found that puroks___________
hold highest number of stunted children age 0-5 years, along with households living in
purok______. These areas warrant concerted efforts in addressing the multifactorial
causes of malnutrition in these areas.
In terms of the causes of malnutrition, the Barangay Nutrition Committee has identified
a range of interrelated causes covering the immediate, underlying, and basic causes of
malnutrition. A problem tree has been developed to illustrate the linkages of the various
causes of malnutrition in the Barangay.

 Figure 2. Problem Tree of Malnutrition in Barangay Asinan

TheBB LGU has implemented various nutrition programs, projects, and activities (PPAs)
as well as various sectoral PPAs aiming to address the underlying and basic causes of
malnutrition. Among these existing nutrition-specific interventions include:
 Mainstreaming mechanisms with which agriculture can support inclusive social
protection.
 Strengthened DA’s programs & policies to ensure that the people have access to
food.
 Continued support to the Agriculture programs to boost local food production.
 Continued support to INTER-AGENCIES PROGRAMS ( Healthcare Delivery System,
First 1000 Days, EXPANDED PROGRAM ON IMMUNIZATION, MICRONUTRIENT
SUPPLEMENTATION, SUPPLEMENTAL FEEDING PROGRAM, FOOD ASSISTANCE,
BEHAVIOR CHANGE PROMOTION , INTENSEFIED COOMUNITY-BASED SYSTEM
APPROACH, WPUROK SYSTEM , LNEWS PROGRAM, FAITH PROGRAM, HAPAG
PROGRAM, WOMENS’S LIVELIHOOD PROGRAM, GULAYAN SA PAARALAN.
 Counterparting Projects Implemented
 Reinforcement of Policies relative to Health and Nutrition

In implementing the above interventions, the BLGU is in possession of various

resources in terms of human, material/physical, financial, and natural resources, that
ensure the quality and scale of implementation. Table below shows some of the
resources of the local government in relation to the local nutrition program.

However, several challenges and constrains remain in the whole effort to address
malnutrition in the BLGU, a number of these identified contraints are the following:
 UNIVOLVEMENT OF COMMUNITY PEOPLE

17
The BLGU shall endeavor to address the above constraints during the Plan period
through more focused and scaled up investments for nutrition.
Conclusion
Malnutrition in Barangay Asinan is a critical problem intertwined with the development of
the region. Improving programs around the first 1000 days is the most logical and
intelligent use of additional resources given already existing programs to work from;
adjustments in the preschool and school nutrition program is also feasible as they
require relatively incremental local investments. The strengthening of the enabling
environment will require closer support and resources from the provincial government
and the Barangay Nutrition Committee especially in local government mobilization. The
introduction of nutrition sensitive programs in existing economic and livelihood as well
as infrastructure projects to shortcut the trickle-down approach is a must-be given the
poverty linked to malnutrition.
The short term and medium-term landscape of all forms of malnutrition in the
municipality can be addressed by nutrition-specific programs, majority of which are
related to the health and nutrition supportive programs. The long-term prospect of
transforming the local government unit’s performance in nutrition can be achieved by
addressing both the (1) enabling factors that play a huge role in the planning,
resourcing, and management of nutrition programs and (2) basic causes of malnutrition.
The Barangay Nutrition Action Plan of 2024 was formulated in full recognition of
these nutritional problems and their dimensions. The BNAP defines targeted outcomes
and sub-outcomes in terms of key nutrition indicators. The Plan identifies programs and
projects that will be pursued to achieve these targets.

18
 III. OUTCOME TARGETS
The Barangay Nutrition Action Plan 2024 of Barangay Asinan is aligned with
the over-all vision of the Province of Bohol. The Plan likewise supports the goals of the
Regional Plan of Action for Nutrition for Region 7 and the Philippine Plan of Action for
Nutrition 2023-2028 - to improve the nutrition situation of the country as a
contribution to: (1) the achievement of AmBisyon Natin 20401, (2) reducing inequality
in human development outcomes, and (3) reducing child and maternal mortality. Table
5 reflects the local outcome targets to contribute to the achievement of the nutrition
outcomes set by PPAN 2023-2028.

Key Strategies to Achieve BNAP 2024 Targets

To achieve the outcome targets for 2024, the following key strategies will be
implemented by the BLGU:
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 BNAP 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. Complementation of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive programs.

The regional planners ensured that there is a good mix of nutrition-specific and
nutrition-sensitive interventions in the BNAP. Nutrition-specific interventions
“address the immediate determinants2 of fetal and child nutrition and
development”. Nutrition-sensitive interventions, on the other hand, were identified
to address the underlying determinants of malnutrition (inadequate access to
food, inadequate care for women and children, and insufficient health services
and unhealthy environment).

3. Intensified mobilization of local government units. Mobilization of LGUs will

aim to transform low-intensity nutrition programs to those that will deliver targeted
nutritional outcomes.

4. Reaching geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAs) and

communities of indigenous peoples. Efforts to ensure that BNAP programs
are designed and implemented to reach out to GIDAs and communities of
indigenous peoples will be pursued.

5. Complementation of actions of national, sub-national and local

governments. As BLGUs are charged with the delivery of services, including
those related to nutrition, the national and sub-national government creates the
enabling environment through appropriate policies and continuous capacity
building of various stakeholders. This twinning of various reinforcing projects in
the BNAP will provide cushion for securing outcomes in case of a shortfall/ gaps
in the implementation of one of the programs.

20
 IV. BNAP 2024 PROJECTS
The BNAP of Barangay Asinan embodies the goals and programs of the Philippine
Plan of Action for Nutrition 2023-2028. The programs were grouped under five key
headings namely: 1) Philippine Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition, 2) First
1000 Days Program, 3) National government agency funded programs, 4) Nutrition-
sensitive / Multisectoral Programs, and 5) Enabling programs / Governance, which can
be further categorized according to the life stages they target.

The BNAP provides the necessary focus on the First 1000 Days as a banner program
given its huge potential in addressing the major nutritional issues at local and national
levels. The complete set of projects and major activities is listed in Table 6.

The programs are consolidated for ease of preparing PPAs required in the PDPFP and
CDP documents, as well ensuring prospect of these five programs to be fully
considered in both the plans (PDPFP and CDP) and their corresponding budgets; the
Local Development Investment Program and the Annual Investment Program.
Specifically, the First 1000 Days Program consolidates existing interventions in the
health and nutrition sector as well as new initiatives of the local government units and
other partners and increases the coverage of key interventions to 90%, as required to
achieve stunting outcomes.

 VIII. ARRANGEMENTS FOR ORGANIZATION AND COORDINATION

The Implementation Barangay Nutrition Action Plan defines the individual institutional
accountability for each of the projects and common accountabilities with respect to outcome
targets. The 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 BNAP. The
Barangay Nutrition Committee, as the counterpart body of the Regional Nutrition Committee of
Region 7 as well as the NNC Governing Board, shall primarily serve as the mechanism to
oversee the progressive implementation of the BNAP. 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 municipal. The BNC will
continue to coordinate nutrition actions at the local level.

The functions of the Barangay Nutrition Committee is 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 BNC may be expanded to include stakeholders/partners deemed to contribute to the
effective implementation of the BNAP 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 BNAP, processes have
been instituted in the past and will continue to be harnessed for the delivery of the BNAP. The
BNC shall facilitate the following: 1) formulation of the Annual Municipal Operational or Work
and Financial Plan to support the implementation of BNAP; 2) convening of the BNC quarterly
meetings; and 3) annual program implementation review of the BNAP.

 IX. MONITORING AND EVALUATION SCHEME

The overall implementation plan 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 Barangay
Nutrition Committee will be used as a platform for BLGU monitoring of the BNAP. While the
report is important, it is the discussion at the BNC that is more vital in terms of ensuring that
revisions and enhancements are undertaken by individual agencies and the BNC 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 BNAP implementation.

At the end of each year, the BNC will convene an annual Program Implementation Review (PIR)
which is conducted every quarter of the year. This will allow BNC 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. During the implementation year, the Barangay 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 2026-2028 is planned in 2025/2026. NNC in consultation with
the 17 regions may opt to conduct regional mid-term reviews for the RPAN. Determination to
undertake this in the 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 time for the mid-term review of the
PPAN and the updating of the current National Plan 2026-2028. 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 their respective PPAN focus provinces on the
exercise.
