PMNP | Monitoring of Nutritionally At-Risk Pregnant (NAR) Beneficiaries

Through the Philippine Multisectoral Nutrition Project (PMNP), the first monitoring of Nutritionally At-Risk Pregnant (NAR) beneficiaries under the Dietary Supplementation Program was conducted on August 10, 2026, at the 3rd Floor of the Municipal Building, Santa Maria, Romblon, one week after the program’s implementation.

Led by MNAO Josie L. Fetalver, the activity included the distribution of food as part of the supplementation, as well as the use of the “Milestone Memories” diary, an additional monitoring tool developed to help beneficiaries record their daily food intake and healthy habits throughout the supplementation period. With the assistance of the Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS), the beneficiaries’ Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) and weight were also monitored to track their nutritional progress.

Through continued supplementation, regular monitoring, and the promotion of healthy practices, the program strengthens support for the nutritional health and well-being of pregnant women and their babies.
