The National Nutrition Council has approved the theme for Nutrition Month this July to be “𝗦𝗮 𝗣𝗣𝗔𝗡: 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮-𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗟𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘁!” (Through PPAN, let’s collaborate on nutrition security for all!) The theme was approved through ad referendum of the NNC Technical Committee.

This year marks the 50th Nutrition Month which was observed since 1974 by virtue of Presidential Decree 491 or the Nutrition Act of the Philippines. In this important milestone of the campaign, this year’s theme differs from all the previous themes as it focuses on the national nutrition plan as the framework for nutrition action by stakeholders.

Previous nutrition month themes have focused on specific nutritional problems or the role of nutrition in development. The selection of the theme is in response to the finding that the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) has low awareness especially at the barangay level. Being a new plan, anchored on a theory of change, the PPAN needs to be well disseminated at all levels.
