Project Title: Developing a package of effective regulatory interventions for healthier food environments in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda
Project Description: This is three years which will be delivered through three interlinked work packages (WPs): (i) To assess gaps in public food policies and government actions, and identify barriers and facilitators to their implementation (WP1); (ii) To estimate the economic burden of a selected NR-NCD (WP2); (iii) And asses the legal and administrative feasibility of adopting and implementation context-specific interventions (WP3). This collaborative project will draw on expertise from international researchers while building the capacity of...

This collaborative project will draw on expertise from international researchers while building the capacity of in-country researchers towards using the Health Food Environment Policy Index (Food EPI) for food environment policy review. In addition, the capacity to implement economic analysis and legal feasibility assessments will be built. The results of this project will identify specifically tailored policy and practice interventions to promote healthy food environments and evidence to support the adoption of these interventions in Tanzania.
