Strategies for Improving Health, Nutrition, and Sanitation Indicators in the Philippines

This document outlines the proposed strategies and recommendations for achieving health, nutrition, and sanitation targets in alignment with universal goals. Key indicators are suggested for monitoring progress, including neonatal mortality rates, immunization rates among various age groups, and the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. Emphasis is placed on food security indicators, anemia in pregnant women, and sustainable agricultural practices. The need for improved data collection, stakeholder consultations, and synchronized planning across levels of governance is highlighted to ensure effective implementation and tracking of objectives.

  1. Group 4 Health, Food and Nutrition, Water & Sanitation DOH, NNC, FNRI, LCP, DA, LPP, PCPD, NEDA

  2. Group 4 Generally adopt all targets and existing indicators (MDG ), except those identified by the group.

  3. Goal 4: Ensure healthy lives Adopt all targets. Consider/add new indicators: • neonatal mortality rate (critical) • Proportion of 12-13 yrs old immunized against human papiloma virus (HPV) • Proportion of 50 yrs old and above immunized against influenza

  4. Goal 4: Ensure healthy lives Consider/add new indicators: • Measles immunization for children less than 1 year old; • Risk factors for non-communicable diseases (smoking prevalence; physical activity; healthy diet; obesity) • HIV incidence; condom use rate among males having sex with males (MSM) • Incidence of rabies;

  5. Goal 4: Ensure healthy lives On non-communicable disease outcomes: cancer, CVD On tropical diseases: dengue, leprosy, schistosomiasis, filariasis. Note: the following diseases are for elimination: malaria, filariasis, schistosomiasis

  6. Goal 5: Food security and good nutrition • Add: indicator on anemia among pregnant women • Exclude value of production in agri (but adopt GVA in % growth) Issue on: • Need for indicator on “food safety” (safety from farm to table?) • on measuring yield of SMALL HOLDER farmers (disaggregation issue; yield is measured by commodity)

  7. Goal 5: Food security and good nutrition Issue on: • Postharvest loss is by specific commodity (special study only, need to be institutionalized) • Unclear and difficult to measure “sustainable agriculture” or “sustainable fishery”? (unless it’s inland fishing);

  8. Goal 6: Universal access to water and sanitation • Unclear indicator: “bring fresh water withdrawals in line with supply and increase water efficiency in agriculture…” • Reservations in adopting indicator on municipal and industrial wastewater treatment (few LGUs with sewerage & septage management systems; costly)

  9. Recommendations • If necessary, identify key indicators and focus on attaining these targets; consider also LGU capacities and capabilities; • Need to further study “proxy indicators” (could be deleted because it might be over/under-estimating accomplishments); • Need to improve data collection systems (synchronization, avoid duplication);

  10. Operationalization of goals • Need for wider consultation and workshop on sectoral targets; • Need to agree on baseline year (2015?) for data collection and analysis; • Agree on indicators to be disaggregated at local level (provincial?); • Need to have a long-term plan (til 2030) at national and LGU level; • Synchronize targets with planning and budgeting system (resource implications)
