As a member of the Central Visayas Regional Nutrition Evaluation Team (RNET), the team visited and evaluated the nutrition implementation programs and projects in Oslob and Compostela, Cebu from April 2-4, 2024.

Using the MELLPI tool, the RNET assessed the efficiency and effectiveness of local government planning and implementation of nutrition programs across various LGUs.

Through a multi-sectoral approach, the evaluation aim to ensure the success of both nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions.

The Department of Agriculture (DA) plays a crucial role in nutrition through diverse programs and initiatives focused on enhancing food security, advocating for sustainable agricultural practices, and improving the nutritional well-being of Filipinos, particularly those in the vulnerable and marginalized communities.
