DA-PCC, DA-PCAF, NEFEDCCO tie up for health awareness advocacy Apr 2020 Bubalus NEFEDCCO ,DA-PCAF By Ma. Cecilia Irang Aside from alleviating malnutrition among children, market for dairy farmers’ produce was also guaranteed under the joint undertaking of the Department of Agriculture-Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries (DA-PCAF), DA-Philippine Carabao Center (DA-PCC), and Nueva Ecija Federation of Dairy Carabao Cooperatives (NEFEDCCO). DA-PCC, DA-PCAF, NEFEDCCO tie up for health awareness advocacy This was following the signing of a memorandum of agreement among the three parties, which aims to advocate for health awareness in response to the unprecedented challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The DA-PCAF, headed by OIC-Executive Director Dr. Liza Battad, closely coordinated with NEFEDCCO and the local government unit of Talavera in identifying the recipients for the milk feeding program. It identified 46 beneficiaries in areas with high incidence of malnutrition among children. Other factors such as the feeding center’s proximity to the source of pasteurized milk and availability of cooling facilities were considered in the selection. This initiative is DA-PCAF’s effort to contribute to the DA’s mandate of ensuring food availability and sufficiency and providing income to farmers and fisherfolks. The undertaking seeks to become an advocacy program worthy of emulation by other local government units with milk producers and disadvantaged children. The DA-PCC, meanwhile, assists NEFEDCCO in the implementation of the project through its National Impact Zone that covers the province of Nueva Ecija under its Carabao Development Program. It also supports the federation in milk analysis and other relevant technical services that will ensure the quality of carabao’s milk product through the DA-PCC’s Carabao Enterprise Development Section. This effort aims to encourage carabao-based cooperatives across the DA-PCC network to become members of the agricultural and fishery councils as advisory bodies of the DA. The milk feeding started last June 1 and will end in August. NEFEDCCO and DA-PCC, in coordination with LGU-Talavera, will continuously monitor and provide feedback to DA-PCAF regarding the implementation status of the advocacy project. Under the partnership, NEFEDCCO has a sure market for its milk produce as the DA-PCAF procured Php100,000 worth of carabao’s milk (a total of 300 L) to be used in a milk feeding program for three months, which will benefit 46 malnourished children (3-5 years old) from the select barangays of Talavera in Nueva Ecija.
