NNC- GAD Agenda 2024-2028

The National Nutrition Council (NNC) Gender and Development (GAD) Agenda

The National Nutrition Council (NNC), as the highest policymaking and coordinating body for nutrition is tasked to formulate the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition, the country’s national policy for food and nutrition.

The PPAN aims to address hunger and all forms of malnutrition. It serves as a guide to the duty-bearers and stakeholders of nutrition. It presents the desired outcomes/goals and targets, key strategies and enabling factors that may be adopted by duty-bearers and stakeholders to achieve their desired nutrition outcomes. The PPAN continues to be strategic and adopts a multi-sectoral and multi-level approach in program planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation. Moreover, the PPAN is aligned with key global frameworks and international commitments, and the Philippine Development Plan and Ambisyon Natin 2040 at the country level.

As mandated, the NNC adapted gender mainstreaming as strategy to implement RA 9710 Magna Carta of Women in the agency and in the nutrition sector through the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition. In accordance to PCW MC 2018-04, the NNC shall formulate the GAD Agenda to serve as basis in identifying programs, activities and projects to be undertaken to achieve the GAD goals and outcomes and provide the monitoring and evaluation framework for assessing GAD results and outcomes.

This NNC GAD Agenda document shall consist of sections on gender analysis, strategic framework and strategic plan.
