This bill establishes a high-level Anti-Stunting Action Plan (ASAP) Council (chaired by
DOH and DSWD Secretaries), an independent body attached to the Office of the
President, to lead, coordinate, and oversee a national action plan to reduce and
prevent stunting across government sectors. It also mandates that the ASAP Council
develop and oversee the ASAP to deliver comprehensive, sustainable solutions to
address stunting.
