Selected local nutrition program coordinators and members of the nutrition committees from various local government units in Metro Manila were trained on Nutrition Program Management (NPM) by the NNC-NCR on September 9-13 at Tagaytay Country Hotel in Tagaytay City.

The training was part of the NNC's capability building of nutrition workers. Members of the Regional Management Group also attended the training which was facilitated by Regional Nutrition Program Coordinator Milagros Elisa V. Federizo and LGU NPM Trainers who have been trained by NNC-UPLB namely, Ms. Femilina Tuazon (Makati City), Ms. Maria Teresa Abando (Caloocan City) and Ms. Ma. Ana Ordenes (Muntinlupa City). Secretariat support was given by Nutrition Officer II Anjelia San Buenaventura of NNC-NCR.

The participants were trained on how to effectively plan, implement, coordinate, monitor, evaluate, and sustain nutrition programs, in the context of the over-all local governance and development system. NNC-NCR hopes that through this training, all local government units in the region will start adopting the formulation of the three-year local nutrition action plan (LNAP).
