The Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN), 20112016 is the country's response to malnutrition. An integral component and as a companion plan of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP), 20112016, PPAN provides the framework for improving the nutritional status of Filipinos. The NNC believes that nutrition should and would have influence and would be influenced by other concerns in the PDP from pursuit of inclusive growth to macroeconomic policy, industry, agriculture and fisheries, infrastructure, governance, peace and security, and environment and natural resources. The PPAN, like the PDP is also anchored on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), particularly those related to nutrition that targets halving the 1990 levels of underweight among underfives and or households with inadequate energy intake. The PPAN takes off from the nutrition situation as determined by the 2008 national nutrition survey and in essence, there is a need to catch up with many of the targets, and at the same time sustain and protect gains already achieved. The PPAN presents the following challenges that should be addressed:
a. Hunger b. Child undernutrition c. Maternal undernutrition
