Pioneering a progressive approach to community well-being, the Padayon Asenso Ozamiz Administration, under the guidance of Mayor Atty Indy Oaminal, has embarked on a transformative journey through the implementation of the Monitoring and Evaluation of Local Level Plan Implementation (MELLPI Pro) for 2023. Spearheaded by the City Nutrition Office, led by City Nutrition Action Officer Maam Lelita Navarez, this innovative initiative seeks to mentor and empower local government units (LGUs) in operationalizing the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) effectively and efficiently at the grassroots level.
Unlike a traditional audit, the MELLPI Pro serves as an opportunity for collaborative growth and enhancement of nutrition-related endeavors within the LGUs. The overarching objective is to elevate the implementation and management of nutrition programs to higher levels of efficiency, ensuring tangible improvements in the well-being of the community.
At the core of MELLPI Pro lies a commitment to mentorship and guidance, aligning with the Padayon Asenso Ozamiz Administration’s vision of progress and development. By engaging in this dynamic evaluation mechanism, LGUs gain valuable insights and strategies to better serve their communities through comprehensive and effective nutrition programs.
The MELLPI Pro initiative is built on the foundation of the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition, a framework designed to drive sustainable and holistic improvements in the nutritional status of local populations. Under the direction of the City Nutrition Office, evaluators visited the 51 Barangay Local Government Units (BLGUs) in the city to assess their implementation and management of nutrition programs. This proactive approach ensures that the PPAN is not just a theoretical concept but a practical and impactful instrument for fostering healthier communities.
City Nutrition Action Officer Maam Lelita Navarez emphasized the importance of MELLPI Pro in advancing the nutrition landscape within Ozamiz City. “We are committed to nurturing a culture of well-being and nourishment within our city. The MELLPI Pro initiative is a testament to our dedication to continually enhance our nutrition programs for the betterment of all our residents.”
Under the banner of “NutriAsensoOzamiz,” the Padayon Asenso Ozamiz Administration’s commitment to nourishing the city’s growth is reflected in the pioneering MELLPI Pro endeavor. As the program unfolds, it stands as a testament to the administration’s unwavering dedication to holistic community development and serves as a beacon of progress for other regions striving to enhance nutrition initiatives. The collaborative spirit of mentorship and improvement embodied by MELLPI Pro encapsulates the spirit of innovation and aspiration that propels Ozamiz City toward a future of holistic well-being and prosperity.
