What future are we building for our children? Despite steady economic growth in the Philippines, many children still lack the nutrition they need in the most critical years of growth and development. 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘢𝘳, a new study by UNICEF and the Philippine Institute For Development Studies, explains why stunting remains high in the Philippines and what can change it—better local planning, access to diverse diets and safe water, stronger health and social protection systems, and support for families in the first 1,000 days. 📘Download now: https://lnkd.in/d4YAKUt9 #ForEveryChild #NutritionMatters

In the face of unimaginable loss, Rosemie found strength with the help of her community.

📍 #EarthquakePH Response: Cebu UNICEF’s basic and supplementary Emergency Health Kits are on its way to Cebu to help address critical health needs of communities devastated by the recent earthquakes and aftershocks. These kits contain life-saving medicines, medical supplies, and equipment to help health workers provide urgent care to children and families recovering from the emergency. As part of Department of Health Central Visayas Center for Health Development’s response efforts, UNICEF’s emergency health kits can support up to 10,000 people for a period of three months. Together, we’re helping restore access to primary healthcare when it’s needed most. #EarthquakeCebu #ForEveryChild

Behind every statistic on chronic child malnutrition is a story of a family doing their best in the face of limited resources. In the #Philippines, stunting affects 1 in 4 children. It starts early, often within the first 1,000 days of life. Stunting isn’t just about food. It reflects the broader challenges families face, from low incomes and limited access to healthcare, to unsafe water and inadequate support for nutritious, diverse, and sustainable diets.    UNICEF Philippines and Philippine Institute for Development Studies developed "Raising the Bar," a new compendium that brings together data, stories of lived experiences, and practical solutions to better understand why stunting persists and what needs to be done to end it.     Communities are already making progress. The evidence is clear: solutions exist, and many are already making a difference. What’s needed now is sustained investment, stronger coordination, and leadership that puts children’s nutrition first, especially in the face of climate shocks and emergencies.    Download it now at https://lnkd.in/gRkYRFgy
