Butuan City- In order to increase participation of the local government units in the conduct of the Monitoring and Evaluation of Local Level Plan Implementation (MELLPI) the National Nutrition Council Caraga facilitated a two-day re-orientation of the tool to selected local nutrition evaluation team on 14-15 December at Almont City Hotel, Butuan City.

MELLPI Pro is designed to monitor and evaluate the performance of local government units (LGUs) in promoting nutrition security vis-a-vis nutrition outcome, with the aim to inform and guide policy and decision-makers enhance nutrition products, services and delivery systems towards greater effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability. On the other hand, the local nutrition focal points are evaluated according to dimensions of nutrition workers’ management performance.

Along with the orientation, a simulation exercise on the MELLPI Pro forms were participated in order to capture actual learning on the conduct of the activity.

This year, the Regional Nutrition Evaluation Team (RNET) in Caraga region was able to visit a few LGUs as mobility to some areas has been restricted due to COVID-19 pandemic.

OIC NPC Nino Archie S. Labordo is positive that in 2022 more LGUs will join the MELLPI activity.

Joining the two-day orientation are from the Province of Surigao del Norte, Municipality of Alegria and Butuan City. #JJVCarillo
