One of the reasons child malnutrition has persisted in the Region is due to a lack of personnel to oversee and manage nutrition programs at the local level. In SOCCSKSARGEN, out of 53 Local Government Units (LGUs), only 15 full-time designated Nutrition Action Officers (NAOs) were managing LGU's nutrition program.

The Mandanas-Garcia Ruling's implementation gives LGUs the chance to improve their nutrition program by setting up nutrition offices with sufficient staff to ensure the formulation and implementation of Nutrition Action Plans that includes efforts directed to families of nutritionally vulnerable individuals.
