In 2005, under the leadership of the National Nutrition Council (NNC), he Medium-Term Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (MTPPAN) was formulated as the country’s blueprint to address malnutrition among Filipinos.
In 2008, the PPAN was updated to be more responsive to socio-political and economic developments brought about by global trends. The MTPPAN aims to contribute to the achievement of the country’s commitment toward the UN Millennium Development Goals and Targets as well as on poverty reduction and hunger mitigation. (NNC/PIA)
