BUSINESS and non-government community leaders have launched Kain Tayo Pilipinas (KTP), an initiative that unites private sector stakeholders to address food insecurity and malnutrition in the Philippines.
KAIN Tayo Pilipinas and Philippine Business for Social Progress Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan emphasizes the need for collaboration in the private sector to address food insecurity in the Philippines.
According to Philippine Business for Social Progress , which serves as the KTP secretariat, one out of 10 Filipino households is considered food insecure and 26.7 percent of underage-5 Filipinos are stunted. The chair of the government’s Task Force Zero Hunger and Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian underscored the need for a bottom-up approach to end hunger and malnutrition, wherein food insecurity and malnourishment is addressed starting with the needs and capabilities of communities and individuals, rather than solely relying on top-down publicly funded initiatives.
The Enablers Workstream will focus on interventions that complement the nutrition and food security workstreams, particularly on sustainability through water sanitation and hygiene , nutrition education, public policy and governance, and more.
