In several meetings, the project was at last approved by the Board because the project is laudable. It was a consensus among the officers and members of the regional league. Most of them agreed with the suggestion because they really need it for easy generation and timely submission of reports like OPT Results, PPAN Accomplishment Reports, BNS Directory or masterlist, Nutrition Month Documentation Reports, and other related documents relative to the implementation of local nutrition program. The project was realized because of the regional league’s fund which has been generated since its organization in June 1994.
