Contexto |
NCDs kill 41 million people each year and its economic consequences are staggering. Unhealthy diet and physical inactivity has become the number one risk factor for overweight, obesity and consequently NCDs. Particularly in low- and middle-income countries, obesity and overweight are increasing, particularly among poor populations and children/adolescents. Implementation of regulatory and fiscal measures to reduce risk factors for unhealthy diets and physical inactivity has so far been slow and insufficient, due to the lack of legislative and regulatory expertise and capacity at national level. Swiss expertise will be embedded in the project through the WHO Collaborating Center for Physical Activity at ETH Zürich, and through Swiss expertise in the field of public health and law. |
Objetivos | Poor and vulnerable people benefit from healthy diets and physical activity through strengthened national regulatory and fiscal capacities and environments. |
Grupos destinarios |
Direct beneficiaries will be government officials and representatives from civil society organisations and academic/research institutions from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Ultimate beneficiaries are individuals and their households, communities and societies in programme countries which have poor diets and inadequate physical activity. As risk factors and NCD prevalence are usually higher amongst the poor and disadvantaged, the proposed reforms are expected to benefit these groups. |
