Overall, the diverse viewpoints provided a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of nutrition and the necessity of collaborative efforts to address it.

The meeting has fostered collaboration among the Calabarzon SUN Networks to come up with innovative projects and initiatives that will address malnutrition and hunger in the region, a Sectoral Regional Plan, which will be later on incorporated in the RPAN 2023-2028.

Meanwhile, the group was reminded to identify existing best practices among LGUs seen to have been effective in addressing malnutrition problem and strategize on scaling it up through an improved implementation system, wider reach and greater nutrition outcome.

With the combined efforts of the Academe, Business, Civil Society Alliance, and Youth, Calabarzon is on its way towards sustaining improved nutrition for all!

Ways forward include the presentation of workshop output by each network and draft Regional Sectoral Plan in October 2023 through a virtual meeting.
