The National Nutrition Council LUpang Ilocos led by OIC-NPC Rose Lulu P. Pagaduan conducted the NNC Secretariat Year-End Program Implementation Review on December 20, 2013 at Kultura Splash Wave, Pugo, La Union. This is to assess the regional office operations for the year 2013.
The conduct of the year-end Program Implementation Review (PIR) is necessary as it is a summative evaluation process to assess what have been done for the year as secretariat to the Regional Nutrition Committee. A review of the accomplishments vis-à-vis set targets on the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition-1st Semester Report, Status of Webpage updating, Local Media and Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos Communication and Advocacy Plan and the NNC Secretariat Accomplishment Report were tackled.
Also, a workshop on the facilitating and deterring factors including recommendations were made as basis for improving future work performance. Strengths and weaknesses including corresponding recommendations to further improve regional operations were done as well as sharing of learning experiences/best practices on program implementation. The activity also served as a venue to foster camaraderie, rapport and teamwork among employees of the regional office.
In closing, OIC NPC Pagaduan informed the group on the next steps and enjoined everyone to continue striving for the best to eradicate malnutrition and sustain the gains in the implementation of the Nutrition Programs in Region I.
