The El Salvador City Nutrition Office, led by CNAO Arlie Joy O. Damiles, together with the Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS), gathered for the 9th regular meeting last 21 September 2026 at the Nutrition Building. The activity marked a renewed sense of commitment to strengthening nutrition programs and safeguarding the health and well-being of the Tagnipan-ons. Moreover, the meeting served as an opportunity to discuss important updates and strengthen coordination among the City Nutrition Office and the barangay nutrition workforce.
The key agenda items discussed included the new staff assignments of the City Nutrition Office. These updates aim to promote clear coordination, efficient implementation, and stronger delivery of nutrition programs and services at the local level.
The formulation of the Barangay Nutrition Action Plan (BNAP) was also emphasized for the BNS to ensure that barangay-level nutrition actions remained responsive to identified nutrition problems and local priorities. The body plotted the BNAP 2027 formulation schedule per barangay.
Furthermore, Barangay Situation Analysis (BSA) 2026 and BNSAP semestral report submissions were discussed to ensure timely compliance with required activities, reports, and other nutrition program deliverables. Additionally, the BNS Regional Conference was also part of the meeting to remind them of the activities for the event and the important things they need to prepare.
The gathering also highlighted the iodized salt monitoring and relevant updates on the scheduled Maternal Nutrition and Infant and Young Child Feeding (MNIYCF) training this year. These actions were part of the strong reinforcement of the importance of evidence-based nutrition interventions, particularly for nutrition-specific programs.
The meeting adjourned with a renewed sense of purpose among the NutriSaviors of El Salvador, strengthening the commitment to nutrition action and advancing the well-being of every Tagnipan-ons.
Together, let us continue turning nutrition commitments into meaningful action, one barangay, one family, and community at a time.
