PALO, Leyte - In line with the implementation of the Tutok Kainan Dietary Supplementation Program (TK-DSP) Phase 3, Tabango town in Leyte funded an Idol Ko Si Nanay (IKSN) Learning Sessions from February 14-17, 2023.
The IKSN was participated by all Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNSs) and Rural Health Midwives (RHMs).
The above activity was part of the PPAs reflected in the approved 2023-2025 Municipal Nutrition Action Plan (MNAP) of the municipality.
The said MNAP is integrated in the 2023 Annual Investment Program (AIP). But MNAO Joselito Arrogante skips the usual Training of Trainers (TOT) among health workers but instead directly conducted to both BNSs and RHMs. This was done to save time and money.
