28 February 2014, Mandaluyong City - The National Nutrition Council-NCR conducted a Program Implementation Review (PIR) of the 2013 Local Level Implementation of the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN).  The one-day activity was attended by the local nutrition program coordinators of all the local government units in Metro Manila except the cities of Las Pi?as and Malabon.  Also present were the members of the Regional Management Group (RMG) which serves as the technical arm of the Regional Nutrition Committee (RNC).  The activity was held at the Amphitheater of the DOH Center for Health Development-NCR.

The PIR aims to assess whether local nutrition programs, projects and activities were planned and undertaken, targets were reached, expected outcomes were realized and resources were utilized efficiently.  Prior to the regional PIR, all the local nutrition committees (LNCs) were requested to do their own review of how they planned and implemented their local nutrition programs in 2013.  The results of the local PIR were then used as reference by the participants during the workshop.
