| BASCO, Batanes- The Regional Nutrition Evaluation Team (RNET) from Tuguegarao is in this island province from March 12 to 16 to evaluate nutrition program implementation for the year 2011.
| |
|
| |
| The team is set to visit all municipalities, review records and results of provincial evaluation on nutrition program implementation through ocular inspection of municipal and barangay nutrition offices and projects, conduct interview with municipal nutrition action officer before the team evaluates.
| |
|
| |
| The results of the evaluation, which include the good points, weak points, problems, or situationers encountered by the team, recommendations and challenges for the improvement of performance will be tackled in the feedback meeting with the presence of the PNC headed by the Governor Vicente Gato and the provincial nutrition action officers.
| |
|
| |
| The RNET also requested a separate schedule of meeting with the governor as chairman of the provincial nutrition program, and the provincial nutrition council (PNC) headed by the provincial nutrition action officer.
| |
|
| |
| Per results of nutrition program implementation in 2010 Batanes was able to maintain its rank as Consistent Regional Outstanding winner in Nutrition (CROWN) award for three years now. Batanes received P100,000 cash as a CROWN awardee.
| |
|
| |
| From the cash award, the 29 barangay nutrition scholars province-wide received incentive of P2,000 each for being the frontliners in the provincial nutrition program implementation. The 135 barangay health workers were given P500 each.
| |
|
| |
| It was the consensus of the provincial nutrition council to give incentives to them for working closely with the PNC and for their dedicated services in the nutrition program.
