Quezon City – NNC MIMAROPA trained LGUs of Occidental Mindoro on the use of the Early Childhood Care and Development in the First 1000 Days (ECCD F1K) Reporting System last 29-30 July 2020 through Google Meet.

ECCD-F1K Reporting System was developed by NNC to automate reporting progress of ECCD interventions at the LGU level. The system will be used to facilitate reporting and reduce nutrition workers’ workload in terms of recording, as well as lessen paper-based forms. In times of pandemic, online submission also prevents the spread of virus due to lesser physical contact.

The training was attended by municipal implementers of ECCD-F1K covered areas which comprised of municipal nutrition action officers, midwives and their office encoders from all 11 municipalities of Occidental Mindoro.  It covered brief overview of ECCD-F1K program, followed by the ECCD F1K RS Individual Care Record, F1K Program Activities, Activities Checklist, Implementers Assessment, Accomplishments,  Fund Utilization,  Technical Assistance Monitoring and Evaluation,  Technical Assistance Action Plan and Reports Generation. The training also covered the system’s feature on downloadable forms for offline encoding.

After the training, municipal implementers are expected to conduct barangay roll-out training in their respective municipalities where PNC Bacena will join through online video chat.  (FEPBacena)
