✅ REACTIVATED: City/Municipal Nutrition Program Coordinators (C/MNPC) in the Province of Cebu!

The Cebu Provincial C/MNPC Association has been formally reactivated through its first official gathering. The first quarter meeting departed from the conventional format, as it prioritized the election of new set of officers who will lead and guide the association in advancing nutrition programs across the province.

This milestone marks a renewed commitment to coordinated, efficient, and strengthened nutrition program implementation at the local level.

The reactivation of the Cebu Provincial City/Municipal Nutrition Program Coordinators (C/MNPC) is a significant step toward strengthening local nutrition governance. At the LGU level, having a designated MNPC is essential, as Public Health Nurses (PHNs) already manage multiple health programs. Appointing an MNPC ensures focused monitoring, supervision, and implementation of nutrition-specific interventions, as mandated by national policies. This aligns with the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act No. 10862, which emphasizes the professionalization and proper deployment of nutrition and dietetics practitioners in delivering quality nutrition services.
