GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION
Philippine Plan of Action on Nutrition
(PPAN) 2017-2022
The PPAN is a blueprint of action that the
government will take to improve the health condition
in the country.
RA 11148 The First 1000 Days Law
This law establishes programs that would
promote the health of both the mother and
child in the first 1000 days of the child’s life.
THE STATE OF THE
WORLD’S CHILDREN
A 2019 Report by the UNICEF
Children in the world is
not growing well
1 in
3
“Many of the world’s children and young
adults are surviving but not thriving.”
Why can’t they eat healthy food?
Most answers reveal that poverty
is one factor. Accordingly, healthy
foods tend to be costly and
families living in poor countries
cannot afford to have one. Other
answers include no time to cook,
lack of availability, and being a
non-tasty treat.
Stunted, wasted or both200 million
Suffer from hidden hunger340 million
Overweight40 million
The children of today hold in their hand
the future of the world. Compromising
their health is compromising the future.
