The National Service Training Program (NSTP) is a civic education and defense preparedness program for students instituted by the Philippine government byvirtue of Republic Act 9163, otherwise known as the NSTP Act of 2001. One ofthe aims of NSTP is to inculcate civic consciousness among Filipino youth throughthis program. However, as widely observed, not all students who completed NSTPhave imbibed such aim. The quality of program implementation could be a potentialfactor which includes service learning exposure and how this is translated tostudents' sense of civic consciousness. Hence, this qualitative study aimed toanalyze the service learning exposure of NSTP students in the first semester,academic year 2018-2019 enrolled in a private university. Anchored on Dewey andFreire's service-learning theory, service learning is a form of experientialeducation, deeply rooted in cognitive and developmental psychology, pragmaticphilosophy, and democratic theory. Using a case study design, eight participantswere purposively sampled and interviewed in a focus group. Consequently,interview data were transcribed and analyzed accordingly using Seidel's (1998)model. Findings show that participants described their service learning exposure assomething that is practical, essential, fulfilling, and a spiritual calling. Based onthese themes, implications for civic consciousness were drawn. These identifiedthemes imply that service learning exposure seems to awaken one's awareness,sensitivity, and consciousness of the needs of others; thereby seeking out for waysto do something to contribute for the common good. This underpins the crucial roleof NSTP program towards nation building. It is recommended that furtherenrichment of implementation be done to ensure sufficient service learningexposure identified to help raise the level of civic consciousness.

Malnutrition results from different combinations of immediate, underlying, and basic determinants. Inadequate dietary intake and disease are the immediate determinants of undernutrition. Underlying the immediate causes of undernutrition are three areas: (1) food security, (2) health services and health environment, and (3) care for women and children. Education is also critical. At the base of the framework are a host of interrelated causes including resources, economic structure, political and ideological structure, and formal and informal institutions.

Other written product issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Food and Nutrition Service's (FNS) new rule on the Food Stamp Program's recipient claim establishment and collection standards. GAO noted that: (1) the final rule aims to improve claims management in the Food Stamp Program while providing state agencies increased flexibility in their efforts to increase claims collection; (2) the final rule incorporates changes mandated by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 and includes federal debt management regulations and statutory revisions into recipient claim management; and (3) FNS complied with applicable requirements in promulgating the rule."

BACKGROUND Breastfeeding is an important public health initiative. Low-income women benefiting from the U.S. Department of Agriculture\'s Food and Nutrition Service Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) are a prime population for breastfeeding promotion efforts. Research aim: This study aims to determine factors associated with increased likelihood of breastfeeding for WIC participants. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement guided the systematic review of literature. Database searches occurred in September and October 2014 and included studies limited to the previous 10 years. The following search terms were used: low-income; WIC; women, infants, and children; breastfeeding; breast milk; and maternal and child health. The criterion for inclusion was a study sample of women and children enrolled in the WIC program, thereby excluding non-United States-based research. RESULTS Factors that increased the likelihood of breastfeeding for WIC participants included sociodemographic and health characteristics ( n = 17); environmental and media support ( n = 4); government policy ( n = 2); intention to breastfeed, breastfeeding in hospital, or previous breastfeeding experience ( n = 9); attitudes toward and knowledge of breastfeeding benefits ( n = 6); health care provider or social support; and time exposure to WIC services ( n = 5). CONCLUSION The complexity of breastfeeding behaviors within this population is clear. Results provide multisectored insight for future research, policies, and practices in support of increasing breastfeeding rates among WIC participants. ; National Institutes of Health (P20GM103474)

Malnutrition continues to be one of the world's most critical health and human development challenges, threatening countries' Universal Health Coverage (UHC) goals and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given the complex, multifactorial, and interlinked determinants of nutritional status and well-being, multisectoral nutrition programming has been widely promoted as the most effective way to address the direct and indirect determinants of malnutrition and to improve nutrition outcomes. Robust governance systems are essential for implementing multisectoral nutrition interventions and creating cost-effective and sustainable programs. The objectives of this report are to (i) document and synthesize implementation experiences, challenges, and opportunities from seven countries supported by the World Bank and Global Financing Facility (GFF) in operationalizing large-scale multisectoral nutrition projects that emphasize and strengthen governance (Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guatemala, Indonesia, Malawi, Nigeria, and Rwanda); and (ii) facilitate cross-country learning. Given that the seven countries used as examples in this report are still implementing their multisectoral programs, the report focuses on documenting progress and lessons learned on implementation modalities and innovations, rather than highlighting impact at this stage. The report uses a multisectoral governance framework, adapted from Gillespie, Van Den Bold, and Hodge (2019), to synthesize the implementation experiences across the World Bank/GFF–financed multisectoral nutrition projects. The report provides eight lessons learned, organized under three broad categories: (1) Advocacy, leadership, and institutional support for multisectoral nutrition; (2) Management capacity and financing; and (3) Results measurement, monitoring, and accountability.
