Tagbilaran City – As an initiative of the Bohol Provincial Nutrition Committee (PNC), the Purok Evaluation System is a strategy by the PNC to inculcate a sense of ownership of the nutrition program at the barangay level by giving barangay officials the task of managing the program at the purok level.
Conducted yearly, the monitoring and evaluation activity is done starting at the barangay level where a team created by the barangay LGU will conduct the evaluation and submit their barangay nominees to the municipal level who in turn re-evaluates the nominated puroks from the different barangays and endorses the nominees to the provincial level.
