CITY OF ILAGAN, ISABELA----- The National Nutrition Council Region 02 through the Department of Agrarian Reform Provincial Office (DARPO) Isabela and Cagayan and partner Agrarian Reform Beneficiary Organization (ARBO) representatives started the wet feeding scheme of Tutok Kainan Dietary Supplementation Program (TK DSP) for nutritionally-at-risk pregnant and lactating women in the provinces of Cagayan and Isabela.

The ARBOs will supply the fresh commodities for the wet feeding of TK DSP such as condiments, fruits, vegetables, meat, and poultry. This partnership is also a support to the Enhanced Partnership against Hunger and Poverty (EPAHP) Program, where the resources from ARBOs will be utilized for the DSP.

The nutrition office together with Barangay Nutrition Scholars and Barangay Health workers were the forefront of the ongoing wet feeding. They will be reporting to NNC R02 on the development of the activity.

The wet feeding for pregnant and lactating women beneficiaries is the third and last leg of the DSP cycle. This scheme will provide hot meals to the beneficiaries for the last 30 days of TK DSP. #John Nestor Ballad
