Simplifying the problem and the
recommended strategy for LGUs
• Among all forms of malnutrition, stunting is the key
problem to solve
• The program for the First 1000 Days (PPA) is the key
program to reduce and prevent stunting
• Together with the First 1000 Days Program, there are
three other nutrition PPAs that will build increased
resiliency against the pandemic
• All these PPAs exist in one form or the other and can
be implemented and budgeted by the local
governments of all income types
