Nutrition Month is an annual campaign held every July to create greater awareness among Filipinos on the importance of nutrition as provided under Presidential Decree 491, or the Nutrition Act of the Philippines. The law also mandates the National Nutrition Council (NNC) to lead and coordinate the nationwide campaign.This year’s theme is “New Normal na Nutrisyon, Sama-samang Gawan ng Solusyon!”. The theme calls for strengthened nutrition interventions and solidarity towards nutrition improvement as the country shifts towards living with the COVID-19 virus. The campaign calls for a collective effort to improve nutrition and 1.) raise awareness on the importance of nutrition in building resilience and recovery from the pandemic; 2.) stimulate discussions among stakeholders on how to build back better the design, delivery, and scale-up of nutrition interventions; and 3.) engage various sectors and the public in activities that promote nutrition.
As an avenue to draw support and collaboration among stakeholders and showcase the talents and skills of the nutrition providers, the NNC Caraga presents and spearheads this year’s TikTok Challenge, anchored to the 48th Nutrition Month theme.
