stronger through the years because of the

dedication and commitment of its

member-institutions. You have given

your continued support and in your small

and innovative ways, have thought and

worked out projects for the Network."

On November 28, 1974, the Institute of

Human Ecology (IHE) was established at

University of the Philippines Los Baños

(UPLB). Later, the need for a reading

room was felt and this started the

development of UPLB-IHE Library.

Library collection started as a depository

of reading materials from faculty and

staff of the Institute. It catered to IHE

faculty, staff, students and other users

inside or outside UPLB.

The establishment of the Regional

Training Program-Food and Nutrition

Planning (RTP-FNP) was in June 28,

1978. This was under UPLB-IHE in

cooperation with the Netherlands

Universities Foundation International

Cooperation/International Course on

Food Science and Nutrition (NUFFIC/

ICFSN) and the Food and Agriculture

Organization of the United Nations (FAO

-UN) that aimed to train personnel in the

Asia Pacific Region.

RTP-FNP became the social program of

the institute that is housed at IHE annex

building with the RTP-FNP lecture hall

and a reading room. Hence, there were

two reading rooms in the Institute.

After 9 years, on February 24, 1983 the

institute was elevated to a full-pledged

College and was called College of

Human Ecology (CHE). The RTP-FNP

existed for about 25 years in the College

not only to train but also to produce

publications like monographs, syllabi,

manuals, brochures, directory,

newsletters, and website.

UPLB-CHE previously UPLB-IHE then

became one of the original members of

the Nutrition Research Information

Network (NUTRINET) through IHNF

and RTP-FNP reading rooms. This is a

network of libraries and information

centers with collection focusing on food,

nutrition and health related information

materials.

In June, 1999, the two existing reading

rooms of the College were merged and

was housed at the CHE main building.

The merging led to increase in the

number of collection, equipment and

supplies.

At present, acquisition of new books is

continuous through either gifts or

purchase through UPLB Main Library.

In 2016, from the time of its membership

to NUTRINET until now, UPLB-CHE

library is manned and managed by a

college librarian. For its operations and

services, it is supervised by a UPLB-

CHE faculty-in-charge guided by UP and

UPLB library policies and standards.

The total collection of UPLB-CHE

library is 9,361 with the following types

of materials: books, theses, reports,

periodicals, electronic resources, student

outputs, course reading materials and

other materials acquired through gift and

purchase. Majority of the collection

focuses on food, nutrition and health

related materials and caters to all types of

users inside and outside UPLB campus.

In addition to the college library, the

three departments and one institute of the

college have their own small reading

rooms that house other students’ reports

and thesis/special problems.

Less than two years before it

commemorates its 40 years founding

anniversary, BIDANI which stands for

Barangay Integrated Development

Approach for Nutrition Improvement, as

a program and a strategy has gone a long

way. As the longest running extension

program of the University of the

Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), it never

gets tired of finding ways to help

eradicate malnutrition problems in the

Philippines and contributes to

improvement of the well-being of

Filipino people.

BIDANI lodged at the University of the

Philippines Los Baños - College of

Human Ecology - Institute of Human

Nutrition and Food (UPLB-CHE-IHNF),

is a community-based, participatory

integrated development strategy to help

improve nutrition and governance of the

villages in the Philippines. It is an

extension program spearheaded by key

Regional State Universities and Colleges

(SUCs) in the Philippines in partnership

with Local Government Units (LGUs).

The National Nutrition Council (NNC)

identified BIDANI as one of the enabling

mechanisms for the Philippine Plan of

Action since 1993 and in the Accelerated

Nutrition Bill to strengthen the nutrition

program.

Moreover, it received numerous awards

including the 1990 UP System

Outstanding Extension Award, 1990

UPLB Outstanding Extension Projects

Award, the 2003 UPLB Outstanding

Extension Program/Project Award. In

2014, BIDANI was the recipient of the

Hall of Fame Award given by the UPLB

Office of the Vice Chancellor for

Research and Extension (OVCRE).

As of June 2016, BIDANI covers 12

SUCs and reaches out to 790 villages in

8 cities and 29 municipalities and in 12

provinces in 7 regions throughout the

Philippines.

It has three major innovative components

namely:

The first one is the Barangay Integrated

Development Approach (BIDA). This

component creates awareness and

empowers actors to actively participate in

development efforts and enhance

capacity of the local leaders in planning,

implementation, monitoring and

evaluation of development programs,

projects, and activities.

Through BIDA, the barangay is guided to

prepare Barangay Integrated

Development Plan (BIDP). BIDP

contains all development efforts in the

barangay. It is a plan formulated by the

people themselves which embody the

participation of the community in

projects, activities and services. It

reflects the needs and aspirations of the

villages and serves as the integrating

instrument for proper coordination.

Another innovative strategy is the

Barangay Management Information

System (BMIS). This facilitates

identification of barangay needs vital for

nutrition and development planning,

project implementation, monitoring and

evaluation, and promote capacity

development of Barangay Development

Council (BDC) in e-governance through

the BMIS software.

The third innovative strategy,

Participative Nutrition Enhancement

Approach (PNEA) is a participative

strategy to prevent malnutrition among 0-

24 month old children through life cycle

approach and promotion of food

production and market-driven livelihood

activities among households.

UPLB-BIDANI as an implementing

SUC, continues its partnership with its

covered Local Government Units. A total

of 24 barangays from the municipalities

of Nagcarlan (12 barangays), Rizal (6)

and Calauan (6) were maintained as

model BIDANI barangays backstopped

in terms of BIDA, BMIS and PNEA.

Though only 24 barangays are

considered BIDANI models, technical

assistance was also extended to the other

remaining barangays of the three

abovementioned municipalities from

time to time.

On 24 June 2016, all the member SUCs

of the BIDANI Network Program

convened in UPLB for a one day

meeting. The meeting was participated in

by Extension Directors, Program

Directors and staff of 12 SUCs including

UPLB. Difficulties encountered in

pursuing the implementation of BIDANI

programs and strategies due to lack of

manpower, technical and funding support

from different levels, among others were

discussed in the meeting as well as the

updates of each SUC. It was suggested

that this kind of meeting be held twice a

year in other venues aside from UPLB.
