Examining the Effects of 4Ps Participation on Nutritional Outcomes in the Philippines

The discussion paper explores how the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) impacts children's nutritional status. By analyzing data from the 2018–2019 Expanded National Nutrition Survey, the study assesses the program's effects on various nutritional indicators, such as stunting, wasting, and body mass index (BMI) Z-scores. Despite the program's goals, the findings indicate no significant improvement in children's nutritional outcomes.
