In a continued effort to combat hunger and malnutrition in the country, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. leads the awarding of the Walang Gutom Awards (GWA), recognizing local government units (LGUs) with outstanding anti-hunger initiatives and practices on food security, in a ceremony at the Ceremonial Hall in Malacañan Palace on June 26, 2024.
Spearheaded by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Galing Pook Foundation (GPF), the WGA aims to honor and replicate the best practices of LGUs in addressing food security and nutrition challenges, ultimately contributing to the nation's goal of eradicating involuntary hunger by 2027.
The DSWD's Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) has allocated PhP2 million each to 10 winning LGUs across the Philippines, providing a significant funding boost for their community development projects.
The winning LGU initiatives and programs were chosen based on a comprehensive set of criteria, including their impact on food security and nutrition, community engagement, innovation, resilience, sustainability and efficiency in service delivery.
