    Khair Soomro
    The National Nutrition Council has taken several actions to promote infant and young child nutrition in the Philippines, including updating their multi-year plan and focusing on pregnant women, breastfeeding promotion, and establishing support groups. However, they face challenges in fully implementing these programs due to insufficient trainers, a lack of clear roles for support groups, and high turnover of local workers. Moving forward, the NNC aims to continue capacity building, sustain support groups, and pool resources across organizations to promote proper infant and young child feeding.
