Food Security and Livelihood Management<br />

Malnutrition rate<br />

Implications and Recommendations<br />

Food access is improving despite increasing unemployment,<br />

which indicates progress for the Province in meeting one of<br />

its Minimum Basic Needs targets. To cope with the issue on<br />

malnutrition, the Province sustains feeding and nutrition, and<br />

other social assistance programs implemented by its various<br />

agencies. The program is getting good results and is a credit<br />

to the Province.<br />
