III. BARANGAY NUTRITION SITUATION ANALYSIS

Barangay SAN JUAN has a total population of 1,005 or 225 households distributed in its 4
zone (Family Profile CY 2022). There is a Barangay Nutrition Office, 1 Barangay Health
Stations, 1 Day Care Centers and 1 Elementary Schools. There is no Botika ng Barangay and
42 Tindahan ng Barangay found in the barangay. Barangay SAN JUAN has 1 BNSs, 4
BHWs, 1 midwife, and an organized Barangay Nutrition Committee composed of Punong
Barangay, Sangguniang Barangay Member (Committee on Health), Barangay Nutrition
Scholar (BNS), School Head, SJBBSC President.

There are 122 children 0-59 months old. There are also __ pregnant and __ lactating mothers
as revealed in the latest family profile. Based on the OPT Plus results of CY 2022 which
covered 100% of children 0-59 months old, there are 4 (3.7%) wasted and 0 (0%) severely
wasted 0-59 months old children, and 24 (20.5%) stunted and 6 (5.1%) severely stunted 0-59
months old children.

The overall prevalence of underweight preschool children in 2022 at 6.8% is higher/lower

than in 2021 and 2020. The possible reasons for the (increase/decrease) may be, the
(improvement/deterioration) in the overall (food supply/purchasing power/increase in the
price of _____/ increased cases of infections/food consumption) as indicated by the following
data from _____.

Of the 4 puroks, Purok 2 has the highest percentage of families with unemployed heads
and/or earning less than P3,000/month and has the highest number of undernourished
children. Purok 4 is the next purok with the highest prevalence of undernourished children.

__ (__%) out of __ school children were weighed at the start of the school year and the
baseline result showed that __ (__%) are severely wasted, __ (__%) are wasted, __ (__%) are
normal, __ (__%) are overweight, and __ (__%) are obese. Compared to last year’s baseline
data, the prevalence of severely wasted school children (__%) increased/decreased, whereas
the __ (__%) of wasted school children increased/decreased.

In terms of access to safe water, there is no households have piped-in water supply (level III),
0 households source their water from the nearby faucet (less than 100 meters), while 20 get
water from deep well and springs. An estimated 205 number of households source their
drinking water from water refilling stations. Only 195 households have their own water-
sealed toilets while 18 households share their toilet with other households and 12 households
do not have sanitary toilets. Based on BHS records in CY 2022, there was no increase in the
number of diarrhea cases observed.

The First 1,000 Days

Malnutrition and its causes in the barangay may be best understood by first looking at the first one
thousand (1000) days or the period of pregnancy to the first two years of life. Studies point out that
proper care and services such as ante-natal care, birthing, postnatal care, breastfeeding, and the
adequate feeding and care for 6–23-month-old children are critical to the prevention and reduction of
stunting and other forms of malnutrition.

The various forms of malnutrition in Brgy. __________ persist as serious public health issues, despite
efforts to improve the nutrition status of the population. The municipality of Sta. Rita has undertaken
to implement key interventions, foremost among which is the national government’s First One
Thousand Days Program. The table below presents selected indicators of care and services considered
vital for proper health and nutrition of pregnant/lactating mothers and their newborns/ infants during
this most critical period from gestation to first twenty-four months of life. The table shows the
utilization of programs and services that impact on mother and infant nutrition in the municipality.

The barangay’s performance indicators are coherent with municipal results. Nevertheless,
implementation coverage shows much room for improvement to reach DOH target coverages –
especially if the goal is to reach the most vulnerable and at-risk mothers and children.

Infants aged 6-8 months received solid foods
Breastfeeding with complementary Feeding of 6-11
months

months

Under the First 1,000 Days, interventions start with ensuring that a pregnant woman is ready for
motherhood and able to give birth to a healthy child.

The next crucial stage in a child’s nutritional care is its first two years of life. It is at this stage that
stunting can be prevented and mitigated, as thereafter it becomes irreversible. Various interventions
and health programs for the newborn and the young child are made available and accessible. These
include exclusive breastfeeding, infant immunization, complementary feeding, micronutrient
supplementation, and proper hygiene.

The following scenarios of stunting merit consideration:

 Stunting (or normal growth) in children occur during the first 1000 days of life (period from
pregnancy up to the first two years of the child). After 2 years of age stunting is irreversible.
 The brain of a stunted child has 40 percent less brain matter than that of a normal, never-ever
stunted child. The temporal lobe is affected significantly in the brain of the stunted child. The
temporal lobe which is responsible for perception and comprehension, memory and language,
is compromised.
 When stunting is not prevented in the first one thousand days, it persists/continues to pre-
school and school age, manifesting in other forms of malnutrition that follow, such as
wasting, underweight, overweight and obesity in later years.
 Stunted growth in early life increases the risk of overweight later in life. By preventing
stunting and promoting linear growth and preventing excessive weight gain in young children,
the risk of excessive weight gain and non-communicable diseases in adulthood can be
reduced.

CONCLUSION

Malnutrition in Brgy. __________ is a critical problem intertwined with the development of the local
government unit of Sta. Rita. Improving programs around the first 1000 days seems most logical and
intelligent use of additional resources given already existing programs to work from; adjustments in
the preschool and school nutrition program is also feasible as they require relatively incremental local
investments. While a recent study, “Assessment of the Nutrition Governance for Maternal and Young
Child Nutrition Security” observed that many of the Local Nutrition Action Plans are not integrated in
the Annual Investment Plan of the LGUs, the strengthening of the enabling environment will require
closer support and resources from the provincial government, municipal nutrition committee and
barangay nutrition committee especially in local government mobilization. The introduction of
nutrition sensitive programs in existing economic and livelihood as well as infrastructure projects to
short-cut the trickle-down approach is a must be given the poverty linked to malnutrition.

20
The Brgy Nutrition Action Plan (BNAP) 2023-2025 of Brgy. __________ was formulated in full
recognition of these nutritional problems and their dimensions. The BNAP defines targeted outcomes
and sub-outcomes in terms of key nutrition indicators. It identifies programs and projects that will be
pursued to achieve these targets.

 IV. OUTCOME TARGETS

The Barangay San Juan Nutrition Action Plan 2023-2025 is aligned with the over-all vision of the
Municipality of Sta. Rita. The BNAP also supports the goals of the Municipal Nutrition Action Plan,
Regional Plan of Action for Nutrition for Region VIII and the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition
2023-2028 to improve the nutrition situation of the country as a contribution to: (1) the achievement
of Ambisyon Natin 2040, (2) reducing inequality in human development outcomes, and (3) reducing
child and maternal mortality.

Key Strategies to Achieve BNAP 2025 Targets

To achieve the 2025 outcome targets, the following key strategies will be implemented:

1. Focus on the first 1000 days of life. The first 1000 days of life refer to the period of
pregnancy up to the first two years of the child. The BNAP will ensure that key health,
nutrition, early education and related services are delivered to ensure the optimum physical
and mental development of the child during this period.

2. Complementation of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive programs. The regional

planners ensured that there is a good mix of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive
interventions in the BNAP. Nutrition-specific interventions “address the immediate
determinants1 of fetal and child nutrition and development”. Nutrition-sensitive interventions,
on the other hand, were identified in order to address the underlying determinants of
malnutrition (inadequate access to food, inadequate care for women and children, and
insufficient health services and unhealthy environment).

3. Intensified mobilization of local government units. Mobilization of LGUs will aim to

transform low-intensity nutrition programs to those that will deliver targeted nutritional
outcomes.

4. Complementation of actions of national, sub-national and local governments. As LGUs

are charged with the delivery of services, including those related to nutrition, the national and
sub-national government creates the enabling environment through appropriate policies and
continuous capacity building of various stakeholders. This twinning of various reinforcing
projects in the BNAP will provide cushion for securing outcomes in case of a shortfall/ gaps
in the implementation of one of the program.

1
Immediate determinants include adequate food intake and nutrient intake, care giving and parenting practices, and low burden of
infectious diseases. (Executive Summary of the Lancet Maternal and Child Nutrition Series, 2013).

_______, while the unfunded portion amounts to PhP ___. Financing come mostly from General
Appropriations and Local Budgets from NTA. The funding shortfalls will be generated mainly from
Tier 2 budget process and financing from development partners working in the barangay and
provisions from local sources. These budgets will require annual review and adjustments in line with
the local government unit processes for the preparation of investment plans.

X. MONITORING AND EVALUATION SCHEME

The overall implementation plan is the reference document for designing the monitoring
system including annual program implementation reviews and the end-of-plan
evaluation.

As a management tool, the management meetings, semestral and quarterly reporting of

the Barangay Nutrition Committee will be used as a platform for LGU monitoring of the
BNAP. While the report is important, it is the discussion at the BNC that is more vital in
terms of ensuring that corrections/revisions/improvements/enhancement are undertaken by
individual sectors and the BNC in response to the emerging issues and problems in
implementation. The management decision in the quarterly meetings will guide the Barangay
Nutrition Committee in following up BNAP implementation.

At the end of each year, the BNC will convene an annual Program Implementation Review
(PIR) which is conducted every last quarter of the year. This will allow BNC member
agencies to integrate revisions to the program/s for the coming budget year. The PIR,
benefiting from initial annual progress reports from the sectors, undertakes a rigorous and
reflective analysis of the experience in the implementation for the year to design
improvements in the Plan for the following year. In the course of the implementation year,
the Barangay Nutrition Scholar will collect important nuggets of lessons that can guide the
planning for the coming year in addition to what will be brought by the BNCs in the PIR.
