Philippines joined SUN in March 2014. Since then, a Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) with outcome and output targets, coupled with a results framework, has been launched. Local Government Unit mobilisation strategies to scale up investments in nutrition, with a focus on dietary supplementation for pregnant women, and 6-23 -month-old children, have been created. Landmark legislation, such as Republic Acts No. 11037 on child nutrition and No. 11148 on scaling up national and local health and nutrition programmes, have been passed.
