EVALUATION OF SOUTH AFRICA'S E...XCISE TAX ON SUGAR-SWEETENED BEVERAGES

|
Evaluation of South Africa's e...xcise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages
more
|
Non-communicable diseases, whi...ch contribute significantly to South Africa's disease burden, are largely driven by obesity and associated illnesses. Obesity prevalence has increased by 30% over the last decade, while consumption of energy-dense, ultra-processed foods and beverages has grown substantially, with sales of sugar-sweetened beverages increasing by more than 50%. Recognizing the growing severity of this epidemic, the government has devised an obesity prevention strategy, which includes a recently announced excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages. Despite growing evidence that such taxation is effective in reducing consumption in developing country settings, interested stakeholders have argued that the tax will not be effective and will impose an undue burden on businesses in South Africa. The effective and continued implementation of this tax to achieve optimal health gains will thus hinge on whether or not its effect on consumption is monitored and its impact is demonstrable. The project will undertake a holistic assessment of the effects of this novel policy in South Africa. It will adopt a four-pronged approach, which will document and investigate the socioeconomic context justifying the need for sugar-sweetened beverage taxation and other obesity-prevention efforts; the consumers' response to the tax; the producers' response to the tax; and the health and financial risk protection impacts of the tax across different levels of income. The project will be a multi-disciplinary effort incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods such as econometric studies, surveys, and in-depth interviews. The project will produce relevant knowledge for multiple sectors of government and society. It will help to build the emerging knowledge base on the effectiveness of taxation policies for non-communicable disease prevention in low- and middle-income countries.

RESEARCHING THE OBESOGENIC URB...AN FOOD ENVIRONMENT, ITS DRIVERS AND POTENTIAL POLICY LEVERS IN SOUTH AFRICA AND GHANA

|
Researching the obesogenic urb...an food environment, its drivers and potential policy levers in South Africa and Ghana
more
|
The food environment in many d...eveloping countries in Africa is deteriorating. In South Africa, for example, urban, peri-urban (areas surrounding urban areas), and increasingly rural households are becoming more reliant on unhealthy, ultra-processed food from the formal food and retail system. This situation has been attributed largely to rapid urbanization. The result is an obesogenic (causing obesity) environment leading to a prevalence of overweight and obese individuals, especially among the urban poor, alongside already high levels of undernutrition. The aim of this project is to draw on methods from nutritional epidemiology, data sciences, value chain analysis, and policy analysis to understand the changing food environment. This includes analysis of the range, quality, and cost of foods acquired by poor consumers and the retail outlets that supply them; the food purchasing decisions of members of poor and vulnerable populations; the key suppliers of both healthy and unhealthy foods; and the industry dynamics, corporate strategies, and public policies that shape these food environments. Ultimately, the project will identify specific opportunities and policies that create incentives for the production and consumption of healthier foods. The study team is multidisciplinary and the design will be a mixed-methods approach including surveys, interviews, and policy analysis. The project will be led in South Africa by the University of the Western Cape (UWC) and in Ghana by the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

THE IMPACT OF TOBACCO PRICING ...AND PACKAGING STRATEGIES IN MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES
more
|
The impact of tobacco pricing ...and packaging strategies in middle-income countries
more
|
International evidence, primar...ily from high-income countries, has clearly shown that higher cigarette prices reduce tobacco use, with greater reductions among young people and those from socio-economically disadvantaged groups. There is also a growing body of evidence that has observed positive impacts of plain packaging measures, especially in high-income country settings. However, the same cannot be concluded for low- and middle-income countries. Reviews that looked at how tobacco prices or taxes affected smoking in these countries did not produce conclusive evidence due to pervasive data and methodological limitations among reviewed studies. To fill these gaps and respond to the policymakers' demand for this evidence, this project will study the impact of tobacco prices on smoking onset, consumption, and cessation in Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, South Africa, and Vietnam. The effects of both tax and retail price will be further analyzed according to their effect by socioeconomic status, sex, and age, with simulations to determine the ultimate impacts on tax revenue, tobacco use, and health outcomes. Additionally, the impact of cigarette packaging and major recent country-specific policy changes will be analyzed. These analyses will also provide improved understanding of women's and girls' responsiveness to tobacco control measures. This knowledge is especially important to address the marketing strategies targeting vulnerable groups in low- and middle-income countries. Cross-border and cross-regional comparisons between countries with differing socioeconomic inequalities and policy environments will enhance the relevance of the findings to a wide variety of markets and strengthen the case for change when these countries review their policies.This project was selected for funding under the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases' Lung Disease Call 2016, and is being parallel-funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and IDRC. The two Canadian institutions jointly designed their call to focus exclusively on tobacco control, disease prevention, and health equity, which are development priorities for both.

URBAN FOOD SYSTEMS GOVERNANCE ...FOR NCD PREVENTION IN AFRICA
more
|
Urban food systems governance ...for NCD prevention in Africa
more
|
There is a rising burden of no...n-communicable diseases (NCDs) across Africa, driven in part by the increasing consumption of unhealthy diets (including ultra-processed and fast foods). Unhealthy diets are becoming more available because food systems, especially in urban parts of Africa, are changing rapidly as a result of urbanization and globalization. For instance, global fast food franchises are expanding aggressively across major cities in Africa. These changing food systems and the related rise in diet-related NCDs cannot be sufficiently tackled by national-level government policies. Diet-related NCDs are largely an urban problem, and there is a lack of urban-level research evidence available to local policymakers and stakeholders. In collaboration with the University of Cape Town (South Africa), this project will review the current state of evidence regarding food systems, NCDs and their interactions in the case study countries. It proposes urban-scale research for addressing diet-related non-communicable diseases in six urban sites — Cape Town and Kimberley in South Africa, Nairobi and Kisumu in Kenya, and Windhoek and Oshakati in Namibia. The sites represent a mix of large and mid-sized urban populations experiencing progressive but varying degrees of change in their food systems, and varying but significant burdens of diet-related NCDs. The main activities of this research project include conducting an assessment of consumption trends, food choices, and experiences with NCDs to understand the complex drivers of urban household food practices; mapping the local formal and informal food retail environment in order to understand the interactions between urban infrastructure and food retail; and analyzing urban and national policies and strategies relevant to food systems, as well as local government perspectives on their role in food system governance. Ultimately, the project aims to support local governments and community stakeholders in each study site to use the knowledge generated from this research to develop local action plans and interventions that will help to reduce the burden of food-related non-communicable diseases.

Measuring and Benchmarking Foo...d Environments and Policies in Latin America
more
|
Non-communicable diseases (NCD...s) are responsible for three out of every four deaths in Latin America. Poor diet is increasingly contributing to preventable, premature deaths and illnesses related to NCDs. This project will monitor and benchmark food policies and environments in Mexico and Chile to address the problem. Specifically, it aims to enhance government and private sector accountability to increase healthy foods, and reduce obesity and diet-related NCDs. Demographic changes in Latin America, combined with shifting nutritional habits, have led to increases in obesity and diabetes rates. Globally, researchers have found that unhealthy food environments drive unhealthy diets. However, there is a lack of rigorous and comparable data from Latin American countries. Food environments are defined as the collective physical, economic, policy, and socio-cultural surroundings, opportunities, and conditions that influence people's food consumption patterns. The core premise of this project is that regular, comparable monitoring of food environments and the policies shaping them will allow evaluation of the impact of national food policies on obesity and NCDs, especially when surveyed across countries and over time. The project team will conduct the research in Chile and Mexico. Researchers will use the monitoring tools developed by the INFORMAS network (International Network for Food and Obesity/Non-Communicable Diseases Research, Monitoring and Action Support). INFORMAS is a global network of public interest organizations and researchers that aims to monitor, benchmark, and support public and private sector actions to -create healthy food environments -reduce obesity and non-communicable diseases -reduce the inequalities caused by obesity and NCDs This project represents the first attempt to extensively evaluate and compare food environments and policies using the INFORMAS methods outside of high-income countries. The project team will test a package of research tools that may be applied globally to inform obesity prevention strategies. This research is timely, specifically in Chile and Mexico, where both countries are experimenting with innovative policies to deal with overweight and obesity rates that are among the highest in the world.

ENABLING CONSUMER-FRIENDLY FRO...NT-OF-PACKAGE NUTRITION LABELLING IN MERCOSUR COUNTRIES

Enabling consumer-friendly fro...nt-of-package nutrition labelling in MERCOSUR countries
more
|
Front-of-package (FOP) food la...bels have been recommended by the World Health Organization and public health experts worldwide as an effective measure to strengthen understanding of nutritional information and help consumers make healthy choices. This project, implemented in partnership with the Fundación Interamericana del Corazón-Argentina and the Brazilian Institute for Consumer Protection, will develop a sound evidence base for the promotion of effective FOP food labelling systems in Argentina and Brazil. The current political context presents an opportunity to move forward with policy discussions. However, interested stakeholders need to have a better understanding of the legal and economic implications under the current regional and international economic agreements in place. The aim of this multi-component research study is to promote effective evidence-based mandatory FOP food labelling systems in Brazil and Argentina, support policy discussions, and assess the factors affecting its adoption in other MERCOSUR countries (full members Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay; suspended member Venezuela; and associate states Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru). This research will study the regulatory and policy frameworks, analyze to what extent gender dimensions are considered, assess the political facilitators and barriers affecting the introduction of a FOP labelling system, analyze the arguments used by superior legal courts of products that can pose risks to public health (such as tobacco or asbestos), and assess the arguments used by the food industry to hinder the promotion of FOP labelling. In Brazil, the national regulatory health agency is already considering novel FOP food labelling alternatives. In Argentina, the project team will work with strategic stakeholders to assess the most suitable FOP labelling system. The project will enable a process of inter-country and multi-actor collaboration and increase regional capacities in this domain. Expected research outcomes include: evidence-based legal and technical recommendations to promote FOP food labelling systems in the MERCOSUR countries; extrapolating legal arguments used in other public health cases for food labelling policy discussions; developing commonly-agreed counterarguments to those presented by the food industry in policy processes in the region; and the determination of the most suitable FOP labelling system in Argentina.

Building a community of practi...ce for healthy food systems in Latin America and the Caribbean
more
|
In Latin America and the Carib...bean (LAC), a steady increase in the consumption of ultra-processed food with high levels of fat, sugar, and salt has contributed to an adult overweight rate of over 50% and an obesity rate of 23%. Further, in the last 40 years, children's obesity worldwide has increased ten-fold. The overweight and obesity epidemic in childhood and adolescence will be a major determinant of the future health of large segments of the world's vulnerable populations. These trends are associated with the increase of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) that are among the leading causes of death in almost every country of the LAC region. This project aims to establish and sustain a community of practice to improve food systems and prevent NCDs in Latin America. It will promote collaborative learning among individuals and organizations involved in the development and use of evidence for improving sustainable, healthy diets across populations. It will reinforce international cooperation, strengthen research and advocacy tools, and establish inter-country and multi-actor knowledge hubs to address common food systems challenges in the region. A strong emphasis on gender analysis will strengthen the quality of research and related policy implications. A regional strategy to significantly improve standards on front-of-package labeling will be developed as a pilot. Institutions leading sub-regional hubs will coordinate priority knowledge and action lines and collaborate with countries with less experience in order to strengthen multi-actor research and advocacy capacities and policy awareness. Five institutions, mostly led by women researchers, will launch the regional community of practice: the Brazilian Institute for Consumers' Defense, the Inter-American Heart Foundation, the Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology (Chile), the Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (Argentina), and the National Institute of Public Health (Mexico). Each partner has individual strengths and a strong record of achievement in generating evidence, raising public awareness, and influencing policies for healthier food systems.

BUILDING A COMMUNITY OF PRACTI...CE FOR HEALTHY FOOD SYSTEMS IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN

Building a community of practi...ce for healthy food systems in Latin America and the Caribbean
more
|
In Latin America and the Carib...bean (LAC), a steady increase in the consumption of ultra-processed food with high levels of fat, sugar, and salt has contributed to an adult overweight rate of over 50% and an obesity rate of 23%. Further, in the last 40 years, children's obesity worldwide has increased ten-fold. The overweight and obesity epidemic in childhood and adolescence will be a major determinant of the future health of large segments of the world's vulnerable populations. These trends are associated with the increase of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) that are among the leading causes of death in almost every country of the LAC region. This project aims to establish and sustain a community of practice to improve food systems and prevent NCDs in Latin America. It will promote collaborative learning among individuals and organizations involved in the development and use of evidence for improving sustainable, healthy diets across populations. It will reinforce international cooperation, strengthen research and advocacy tools, and establish inter-country and multi-actor knowledge hubs to address common food systems challenges in the region. A strong emphasis on gender analysis will strengthen the quality of research and related policy implications. A regional strategy to significantly improve standards on front-of-package labeling will be developed as a pilot. Institutions leading sub-regional hubs will coordinate priority knowledge and action lines and collaborate with countries with less experience in order to strengthen multi-actor research and advocacy capacities and policy awareness. Five institutions, mostly led by women researchers, will launch the regional community of practice: the Brazilian Institute for Consumers' Defense, the Inter-American Heart Foundation, the Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology (Chile), the Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (Argentina), and the National Institute of Public Health (Mexico). Each partner has individual strengths and a strong record of achievement in generating evidence, raising public awareness, and influencing policies for healthier food systems.

INTEGRATED INTERVENTION FOR DI...ABETES RISK AFTER GESTATIONAL DIABETES IN SOUTH AFRICA

Integrated Intervention for Di...abetes Risk After Gestational Diabetes in South Africa
more
|
Women who have had gestational... diabetes mellitus, a temporary diabetes that develops during pregnancy, are at a high risk of getting type 2 diabetes sometime after their pregnancy. This research study will address the problem in South Africa, working through an innovative intervention with the country's public health system. Reducing the risk, improving women's health Research has shown that increasing physical activity, eating a healthier diet, and losing weight, can prevent the progression to long-term diabetes. Researchers will develop and evaluate an approach that will help prevent women with previous gestational diabetes from developing type 2 diabetes in the years after pregnancy. They will work with at-risk women from poor communities who use the public health system in the cities of Cape Town and Johannesburg. The proposed intervention involves offering women a special test to see whether they have diabetes six weeks after delivery, along with counselling about healthy lifestyles from a trained counsellor at the clinic and in the community. Currently, no such test, information, or counselling support exists for women after they have had their babies. Easy access, better results The research team will introduce the intervention at primary care clinics, where mothers usually go to have their babies vaccinated during their children's first year. This will make it convenient for them to access the service. It also offers an opportunity to test a post-partum intervention, which addresses maternal and child health and nutrition together, rather than separately, as is currently done. The project team will conduct research before and during implementation with women, healthcare providers, and health service managers to help ensure that the intervention's proposed components are suitable and practical in the real life clinic and community setting. If the intervention proves effective in preventing diabetes, further research and advocacy activities will explore the opportunities and barriers to extending the practice across South Africa's health services.

Strengthening fiscal policies ...and regulations to promote healthy diets in Sri Lanka
more
|
The high prevalence of non-com...municable diseases (NCDs) is a significant health challenge for Sri Lanka. Nearly one-third of all adults are overweight or obese, and the share of overweight and obese children, particularly for girls, has been rising. Sri Lanka has committed to measures aimed at controlling NCD risk factors, such as imposing taxes and traffic light labels on sugar-sweetened beverages to reduce consumption of unhealthy food. To improve the food environment for school-aged children, the Healthy Canteen in Schools program was initiated as a joint project between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education. There is considerable academic and government interest in understanding the effectiveness of these measures. This project will be a timely assessment of the effectiveness of the fiscal and regulatory tools in influencing the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. At the same time, it will provide an assessment of the Healthy Canteen in Schools program, and review how a broader range of policies and implementation can be strengthened to improve nutrition outcomes for girls and boys from different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.

Readiness to Adopt Food Relate...d Non-Communicable Disease Prevention Policies in Africa
more
|
Increasing consumption of unhe...althy diets is fuelling the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) across Sub-Saharan Africa. Fiscal and policy interventions for addressing diet-related NCDs such as increased taxation on Sugar Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) have been endorsed by the global health community as being highly cost-effective. There are however significant challenges associated with the adoption and implementation of such interventions due to their inherent nature in politics and the economy. To establish a comprehensive understanding of the political landscape in which policies for NCDs are developed and implemented, this project proposes a landscape analysis in a subset of Eastern (Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya) and Southern African (Botswana, Namibia and Zambia) countries. The aim of the project is to assess the existing and required evidence on the potential benefits of NCD-related fiscal and policy interventions, and an assessment of the challenges for their possible adoption. Understanding the nature of the burden of disease, data constraints, relevant politico-economic factors, key actors and the existing policy environment will help to develop feasible, specific and targeted evidence for the adoption of fiscal and policy interventions that are tailored to the context of each country. The work will be led by researchers at PRICELESS SA (Priority Cost Effective Lessons for System Strengthening South Africa) unit of the School of Public Health, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. They will collaborate with in-country researchers based at economic policy research think-tanks or academic institutions in each of the seven participating countries. The primary desired research outcomes will be; 1) increased understanding of whether diet-related NCD prevention policies would be necessary and suitable; 2) increased understanding of the feasibility of implementing these policies; and country and context specific public health recommendations on fiscal and policy interventions for prevention of diet-related NCD.

Tackling diet related NCDs in ...Asia: A regional approach to improve response capacities
more
|
Trends in Asia are showing tha...t overweight and obesity, as well as morbidity and mortality attributed to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are on the rise. NCD risks associated with diet are increasingly found in younger age groups. They pose a significant long-term economic burden on society, both directly (through acute and long-term morbidity management) and indirectly (through impaired capacities to lead healthy and unrestricted lives). Exposure to unhealthy food and beverages, whether directly or indirectly through marketing, has been associated with the increased consumption of unhealthy foods that increase risks for diet-related NCDs. This workshop aims to bring together local and regional stakeholders to discuss and define the challenges and the existing and required capacity to effectively curb the growing trend of diet-related NCDs in Asia. Participants will represent a number of countries, including Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. The workshop training will cater to the pre-defined needs of each country participant. The participants will work together to refine a multi-country research proposal aimed at improving food environments by building an accountability index for each country's food environment that will also allow for cross-country comparability. It is expected that the research from this proposal will generate evidence to inform and improve the efficacy of existing policies or establish new policies directed at improving consumer food environments. A refined research proposal is an expected output of the workshop. Proactive efforts to increase the visibility of IDRC programming in the region is also a key activity associated with the workshop.The local recipient and coordinator will be Vietnam's National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology. The workshop will be held in advance of a conference on The Political Economy of NCDs: A Whole of Society Approach in Thailand. IDRC is planning a side event to highlight innovative and effective measures aimed at improving food environments and decreasing diet related NCDs in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, as well as the role of IDRC in supporting the movement.

THE INTERNATIONAL ALCOHOL CONT...ROL STUDY IN VIETNAM

The International Alcohol Cont...rol Study in Vietnam
more
|
Alcohol is a leading risk fact...or for death and disability globally, and Vietnam is no different. The consumption of commercial and non-commercial (or informal alcohol) is growing. According to a 2001 World Health Organization survey, 46% of Vietnamese males over the age of 15 years consume alcohol at least once a week. Alcohol's health costs include cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and liver diseases. It is also an important risk factor for road traffic injuries, accounting for 15% of the 12,000 traffic deaths per year in Vietnam and 62% of the injuries. It was also responsible for increased aggressive behaviour, including 30% of those arrested for public disturbances. The Vietnamese government has tried to regulate homemade alcohol by putting policies and regulations, such as minimum age requirements, in place. However, enforcement for alcohol-related offences, including impaired driving, is weak. The Ministry of Health is working on strengthening alcohol control laws, but the lack of nationally representative data on alcohol use and its effects has made progress slow. This project is part of the multi-country International Alcohol Control (IAC) study. It includes case studies and uses natural experiments to assess the outcome and impacts of alcohol policies in Vietnam. It will address the potential effects of: -alcohol taxes or pricing policies on consumption levels across different population groups; -marketing restrictions on consumption levels across different population groups; and, -policies that restrict the physical availability of alcoholic beverages or reduce the hours of sale in retail outlets on consumption levels across different population groups. The project's specific objectives include: -To measure consumption of commercial and informal alcohol; -To document policy-relevant behaviours, including: place and time of purchase, prices paid, and exposure and salience of marketing; -To analyze potential effects of pricing policies, marketing restrictions, and physical availability across different population groups; and, -To evaluate how differences and changes in alcohol policy influence drinking behaviour and policy-related mediating variables. This study will provide internationally comparative data on Vietnam's alcohol policy and its effect. Given the increasing interest in the issue among policymakers, there is substantial potential for the research results to be translated into preventive health policies and programs.

READINESS TO ADOPT FOOD RELATE...D NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PREVENTION POLICIES IN AFRICA

|
Readiness to Adopt Food Relate...d Non-Communicable Disease Prevention Policies in Africa
more
|
Increasing consumption of unhe...althy diets is fuelling the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) across Sub-Saharan Africa. Fiscal and policy interventions for addressing diet-related NCDs such as increased taxation on Sugar Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) have been endorsed by the global health community as being highly cost-effective. There are however significant challenges associated with the adoption and implementation of such interventions due to their inherent nature in politics and the economy. To establish a comprehensive understanding of the political landscape in which policies for NCDs are developed and implemented, this project proposes a landscape analysis in a subset of Eastern (Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya) and Southern African (Botswana, Namibia and Zambia) countries. The aim of the project is to assess the existing and required evidence on the potential benefits of NCD-related fiscal and policy interventions, and an assessment of the challenges for their possible adoption. Understanding the nature of the burden of disease, data constraints, relevant politico-economic factors, key actors and the existing policy environment will help to develop feasible, specific and targeted evidence for the adoption of fiscal and policy interventions that are tailored to the context of each country. The work will be led by researchers at PRICELESS SA (Priority Cost Effective Lessons for System Strengthening South Africa) unit of the School of Public Health, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. They will collaborate with in-country researchers based at economic policy research think-tanks or academic institutions in each of the seven participating countries. The primary desired research outcomes will be; 1) increased understanding of whether diet-related NCD prevention policies would be necessary and suitable; 2) increased understanding of the feasibility of implementing these policies; and country and context specific public health recommendations on fiscal and policy interventions for prevention of diet-related NCD.

Nearly one-quarter of the worl...d's non-communicable disease deaths take place in Southeast Asia. This project will seek to address the problem through research on how policies can shape healthy food environments. Death and disease in Southeast Asia The problem of non-communicable disease deaths in the region is particularly striking in Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. More than 70% of all deaths in these countries are attributed to non-communicable diseases. Unhealthy lifestyles and diets play a leading role in this epidemic. The governments of Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam have committed to preventing and controlling non-communicable diseases through national strategic plans and policies related to marketing and accessing unhealthy food products. Policies to shape healthy food environments This project will measure the progress and impact of these policies in supporting healthy food environments. A multi-country research team will study this issue in Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. They will work with the International Network for Food and Obesity / Non-communicable Diseases Research, Monitoring and Action Support (INFORMAS), a global network of food policy researchers. INFORMAS has developed research modules to investigate food environments, including aspects such as food composition, labelling, diets, and policies. Researchers will adapt two research modules on public and private sector policies to understand how policies can influence change. They will review public and private sector policies, conduct stakeholder interviews, and examine case studies to identify barriers and change facilitators. They will engage public officials, non-governmental organizations, industry actors, and academics from Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam in the process.

FISCAL AND REGULATORY MECHANIS...MS FOR PROMOTING HEALTHY DIETS IN URBAN BANGLADESH

|
Fiscal and regulatory mechanis...ms for promoting healthy diets in urban Bangladesh
more
|
Diet-related non-communicable ...diseases (NCDs) continue to rise in Bangladesh, disproportionately affecting women, children, and the poor. The complex interaction of the fresh food supply chain, price drivers, competition from low-cost and low-nutrition products, and cultural influences affect access to consuming a healthy diet. This project aims to review how fiscal and regulatory measures can be used to promote healthy diets and reduce NCD-related mortality and morbidity. The research team will use four complementary methods to understand existing systems and policies that promote or hinder access to healthy diets: policy mapping, supply chain analysis, in-depth interviews, and stakeholder engagement. The researchers will work with a wide range of stakeholders to identify the policy gaps in promoting healthy diets and explore relevant barriers and facilitators to implement such policies. A gender equity lens will be applied to explore the challenges and potential benefits faced by women and men of different socio-economic groups in accessing fresh food and maintaining a healthy diet. The research will generate unique knowledge and evidence about fiscal policies and supply chains of fresh foods in Bangladesh, which will guide decision-makers, academics, and other key stakeholders in identifying and formulating fiscal policy, law, and regulatory mechanisms that incentivize access to fresh food. The study will develop clear recommendations to strengthen fiscal policies to promote healthy diets in Bangladesh. This project will be funded through the Global Regulatory and Fiscal Capacity Building Program, a multi-agency parallel-funding partnership between IDRC, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, the OPEC Fund for International Development, the International Development Law Organization, and the World Health Organization.

CHILDHOOD OBESITY PREVENTION A...ND IMPROVED NUTRITION THROUGH FARM-TO-SCHOOL FOOD SYSTEMS IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Childhood obesity prevention a...nd improved nutrition through farm-to-school food systems in Central America
more
|
This project, implemented in c...ollaboration with the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama, aims to reduce obesity and micronutrient deficiencies in school-aged children in Central America through innovative food system interventions that improve the supply and demand of fruits and vegetables in public schools. Applied research will be conducted in selected schools of the two capital cities of Guatemala and Costa Rica to assess the supply side of the value chain. It will then develop and pilot-test an integrated intervention to improve children's diets in school and at home. Research on the supply side aims to increase the affordability, variety, and quality of fresh and minimally processed fruit and vegetable products. The demand-side component intends to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables and reduce the intake of energy-dense snacks and sugar-sweetened beverages. The overall purpose is to influence dietary behaviours of children and create supportive environments for healthy eating. The intervention's effectiveness will be evaluated to shape policies and programs that support future scaling-up activities in the region. A life cycle assessment will examine health, environmental, and social effects associated with the needed improvements in the food supply chain to schools. Increased demand for healthy foods will be evaluated by comparing dietary outcomes in intervention schools with control schools in both cities, before and after the intervention. The main expected outcomes include changes in healthy eating knowledge and attitudes of children, levels of consumption of fruits and vegetables, purchase and intake of highly processed foods and sugary drinks, and dietary behaviours at school and home. Gender equity will guide the design and implementation of project activities, and sex-disaggregated analyses will be used in assessing dietary outcomes. The project will also identify barriers and incentives of the Costa Rican school food services policy and its influence on supply and demand of fruits and vegetables when compared to Guatemala, where no such policy exists.

THE IMPACT OF TOBACCO PRICING ...AND PACKAGING STRATEGIES IN MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES

The impact of tobacco pricing ...and packaging strategies in middle-income countries
more
|
International evidence, primar...ily from high-income countries, has clearly shown that higher cigarette prices reduce tobacco use, with greater reductions among young people and those from socio-economically disadvantaged groups. There is also a growing body of evidence that has observed positive impacts of plain packaging measures, especially in high-income country settings. However, the same cannot be concluded for low- and middle-income countries. Reviews that looked at how tobacco prices or taxes affected smoking in these countries did not produce conclusive evidence due to pervasive data and methodological limitations among reviewed studies. To fill these gaps and respond to the policymakers' demand for this evidence, this project will study the impact of tobacco prices on smoking onset, consumption, and cessation in Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, South Africa, and Vietnam. The effects of both tax and retail price will be further analyzed according to their effect by socioeconomic status, sex, and age, with simulations to determine the ultimate impacts on tax revenue, tobacco use, and health outcomes. Additionally, the impact of cigarette packaging and major recent country-specific policy changes will be analyzed. These analyses will also provide improved understanding of women's and girls' responsiveness to tobacco control measures. This knowledge is especially important to address the marketing strategies targeting vulnerable groups in low- and middle-income countries. Cross-border and cross-regional comparisons between countries with differing socioeconomic inequalities and policy environments will enhance the relevance of the findings to a wide variety of markets and strengthen the case for change when these countries review their policies.This project was selected for funding under the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases' Lung Disease Call 2016, and is being parallel-funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and IDRC. The two Canadian institutions jointly designed their call to focus exclusively on tobacco control, disease prevention, and health equity, which are development priorities for both.

ECONOMICS OF TOBACCO CONTROL R...ESEARCH INITIATIVE: OPERATING COSTS FOR CAPACITY BUILDING

Economics of tobacco control r...esearch initiative: Operating costs for capacity building
more
|
Fiscal policies (primarily tax...ation) for tobacco control have been widely recognized as the most effective measures to curb tobacco consumption and prevent tobacco-related diseases. They also have the effect of reducing household poverty and increasing national revenues. However, most low and middle-income countries (LMICs) have not effectively implemented such policies to date. Common barriers include competing health and development priorities and a lack of knowledge about country or region specific health and economic burdens related to tobacco, and the potential benefits of appropriate policies. Industry opposition and commonly-held (but misinformed) beliefs about the economic benefits of the tobacco industry also present barriers to tobacco control policy in many LMICs. Through this initiative, Cancer Research UK and IDRC aim to address the development challenges posed by tobacco use in LMICs. The countries where research will be carried out will be determined through the competitive research call process. By supporting research on the economics of tobacco control in LMICs, this five-year initiative will allow the generation of the local evidence that is acutely needed to implement fiscal and policy solutions for effective tobacco control. Beyond the generation of evidence, this initiative will support collaborations between multiple institutions within countries or regions to enable research teams to actively engage in policy dialogue and policymaking processes. Local evidence will provide the context-specific information and tools needed to help countries leap forward with tobacco-control policy and contribute to SDG targets with respect to health and economic empowerment. This project will cover the human resource cost of a full-time senior program officer to manage the project, and associated travel and office costs over the course of the five-year initiative. The staff under the initiative will be responsible for the delivery and monitoring of the research projects selected through the competitive call, as well as communications about the initiative, and reporting to the governance committee.

ECONOMICS OF TOBACCO CONTROL R...ESEARCH INITIATIVE: OPERATING COSTS FOR CAPACITY BUILDING

|
Economics of tobacco control r...esearch initiative: Operating costs for capacity building
more
|
Fiscal policies (primarily tax...ation) for tobacco control have been widely recognized as the most effective measures to curb tobacco consumption and prevent tobacco-related diseases. They also have the effect of reducing household poverty and increasing national revenues. However, most low and middle-income countries (LMICs) have not effectively implemented such policies to date. Common barriers include competing health and development priorities and a lack of knowledge about country or region specific health and economic burdens related to tobacco, and the potential benefits of appropriate policies. Industry opposition and commonly-held (but misinformed) beliefs about the economic benefits of the tobacco industry also present barriers to tobacco control policy in many LMICs. Through this initiative, Cancer Research UK and IDRC aim to address the development challenges posed by tobacco use in LMICs. The countries where research will be carried out will be determined through the competitive research call process. By supporting research on the economics of tobacco control in LMICs, this five-year initiative will allow the generation of the local evidence that is acutely needed to implement fiscal and policy solutions for effective tobacco control. Beyond the generation of evidence, this initiative will support collaborations between multiple institutions within countries or regions to enable research teams to actively engage in policy dialogue and policymaking processes. Local evidence will provide the context-specific information and tools needed to help countries leap forward with tobacco-control policy and contribute to SDG targets with respect to health and economic empowerment. This project will cover the human resource cost of a full-time senior program officer to manage the project, and associated travel and office costs over the course of the five-year initiative. The staff under the initiative will be responsible for the delivery and monitoring of the research projects selected through the competitive call, as well as communications about the initiative, and reporting to the governance committee.

Scholarships for research diss...emination at the 2020 World Public Health Nutrition Congress in Brisbane, Australia
more
|
The World Public Health Nutrit...ion Association (WPHNA) established the World Public Health Nutrition Congress, held every four years, to bring the public health nutrition sector together for an international congress that is free from funding from conflicted sources. As a major meeting point for this community, the congress contributes to strengthening the knowledge base, partnerships, and commitment for effective action towards nutrition-related health outcomes, particularly among vulnerable populations. The WPHNA and the congress' host institution, the Public Health Association of Australia, recognize the importance of including low and middle-income countries (LMICs) at the congress to ensure that it is relevant, inclusive, and engaging for all delegates. Through this project, the two institutions will implement a scholarship program to provide support for approximately 40 LMIC, First Nations, and early career delegates to attend and present their research at the congress in Brisbane, Australia, from March 31-April 2. This will also provide opportunities for recipients to engage with the research community, increase the visibility of their work, and develop new collaborations and partnerships. For IDRC, engagement at the conference will provide an opportunity to connect with funded groups and new partners and to improve understanding of how IDRC's contributions position LMIC actors to effectively shape and influence global and regional agendas.

Accelerating the impact of the... Economics of Tobacco Control Research Initiative
more
|
The Economics of Tobacco Contr...ol (ETC) Research Initiative is a five-year partnership between IDRC and Cancer Research UK (CRUK) for addressing the health and development challenges posed by tobacco use in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). By supporting collaborative research that provides the economic rationale for tobacco control in LMICs, the Initiative will encourage the use of robust local evidence to better inform and implement effective tobacco control. Under the ETC Initiative, seven joint research teams are working across 18 countries to produce new and updated evidence specific to the local context to improve the design and implementation of tobacco control policies. To bring this knowledge into use in decision making, this knowledge accelerator project will increase the accessibility and relevance of the research produced through the ETC Initiative. Three institutions: Consortium pour la Recherche Économique et Sociale (CRES Senegal), American University of Beirut (AUB Lebanon), and Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (IECS Argentina) will lead this work. This project aims to accelerate the use of evidence produced by the ETC projects at the regional level for policy adoption and implementation. Synergy grants will maximize the uptake and collective impact of this knowledge and enhance leadership and collaboration among the multi-disciplinary teams of the ETC initiative. These grants will support peer learning and enable influential and informed champions of effective economic tools to curb the tobacco epidemic, highlighting the gender and equity impacts of these policies.

Accelerating the impact of the... Economics of Tobacco Control Research Initiative
more
|
The Economics of Tobacco Contr...ol (ETC) Research Initiative is a five-year partnership between IDRC and Cancer Research UK to address the health and development challenges posed by tobacco use in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). By supporting collaborative research that provides the economic rationale for tobacco control in LMICs, the Initiative will encourage the use of robust local evidence to better inform and implement effective tobacco control measures, such as taxation and other economic incentives.Under the ETC Initiative, seven joint research teams are working across 18 countries to produce new and updated evidence specific to local contexts to improve the design and implementation of tobacco control policies. To bring this knowledge into use in decision-making, this knowledge accelerator project will increase the accessibility and relevance of the research produced through the ETC Initiative. Synergy grants will maximize the uptake and collective impact of this knowledge and enhance leadership and collaboration among the multi-disciplinary teams of the ETC initiative. These grants will support peer learning and enable influential and informed champions of effective economic tools to curb the tobacco epidemic, highlighting the gender and equity impacts of these policies.

EVALUATING AND BRINGING TO SCA...LE ALTERNATIVE FOOD NETWORKS TO ADDRESS DIABETES MELLITUS AND HYPERTENSION IN ECUADOR

Evaluating and bringing to sca...le alternative food networks to address diabetes mellitus and hypertension in Ecuador
more
|
In Ecuador, rural people, and ...particularly rural Indigenous people, are disproportionately affected by nutrient inadequacies, obesity, and overweight. This double burden of malnutrition magnifies their risk of developing diet-related chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension. In parallel, many rural Indigenous people in Ecuador have organized around alternative food networks, such as farmers' markets, to seek more sustainable livelihoods. Alternative food networks promote food literacy (understanding the impact of food choices on one's health, the environment, and the economy), favour the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and put income into women's hands. These benefits have been associated with better nutrition and a reduced risk of diet-related chronic disease. This project aims to evaluate specific alternative food network approaches to measure their contribution to diabetes and hypertension prevention. The research will leverage the most effective approaches for a stronger and broader positive impact. Findings will be shared among an estimated 132 Ecuadorian alternative food networks, positioning them to streamline research findings into practice. Overall, the project is expected to provide strategic and practical guidance for integrating health-sensitive attributes into the regular practices of alternative food networks as they continue to multiply and evolve in Ecuador and elsewhere.

MEASURING THE HEALTHINESS OF G...HANAIAN CHILDREN'S FOOD ENVIRONMENTS TO PREVENT OBESITY AND NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES

Measuring the healthiness of G...hanaian children's food environments to prevent obesity and non-communicable diseases
more
|
Non-communicable diseases (NCD...s) represent the leading cause of death globally and were responsible for 70% of the world's 56 million deaths in 2015. In some African countries, NCDs cause more than 50% of all reported adult deaths. In Ghana, that figure was 44%. In recognition of this increasing burden, Ghana has published a national NCD prevention policy and accompanying strategy, which recognize interventions to promote healthy diets as crucial. Specifically, there are recent indications from local policymakers in Ghana that tackling unhealthy food promotion and improving food provision would be the most likely actions to address the problem of obesity and NCD risk factors, especially in children and adolescents. These policymakers, however, acknowledge that food environment-related responses to NCD prevention are hampered by scarce resources, paucity of data, and lack of appropriate policies and interventions in Ghana. Focusing on restricting unhealthy food marketing to children and improving school nutrition environments, this project will adapt approaches developed by the International Network for Food and Obesity NCDs Research Monitoring and Action Support for Ghana to measure, benchmark, and support public sector actions that create healthy food marketing and provision environments for children and adolescents.

COMPARING THE EXTENT AND NATUR...E OF UNHEALTHY FOOD AND DRINK TV MARKETING TO GIRLS AND BOYS ACROSS NINE COUNTRIES IN ASIA

Comparing the extent and natur...e of unhealthy food and drink TV marketing to girls and boys across nine countries in Asia
more
|
Asia has undergone a rapid soc...io-economic transition that is linked to a large-scale change in dietary patterns towards high-energy and low-nutrition food products. The continent is now home to half of all overweight or obese children under five. Food and beverage consumption is shaped by environment, including exposure to food advertising, such as television marketing. Targeted advertisements of unhealthy food and beverages can contribute to a poor diet and increased exposure to non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors such as obesity. Regulations on food marketing vary widely across Asia, and several countries have no restrictions on promoting unhealthy products to children and adolescents. Evidence is needed across countries on the extent and nature of food and non-alcoholic beverage advertising and television marketing. Another research gap exists in understanding portrayals of gender in marketing campaigns and how these affect the dietary behaviour of girls and boys in various countries. The International Network for Food and Obesity/Non-communicable diseases research, monitoring, and action support (INFORMAS) is a global network of public interest organizations and researchers that monitor and support actions to increase healthy food environments. Their protocol on food promotion will be applied across nine countries, namely Bangladesh, China, India, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. The results of the study will inform and strengthen policies related to unhealthy food advertising to children in Asian countries. The collaborative network will also promote shared exploration of other research needs that will develop a better understanding of media and messaging that is used to influence food consumption among children in Asia.

EXAMINING THE ROLE OF RETAILER...S IN OBESOGENIC FOOD ENVIRONMENTS AND IDENTIFYING POLICY OPPORTUNITIES TO ADDRESS DOUBLE BURDEN OF MALNUTRITION

Examining the role of retailer...s in obesogenic food environments and identifying policy opportunities to address double burden of malnutrition
more
|
Southeast Asia is in an econom...ic and demographic transition whereby increasing income is not accompanied by improved nutrition. There is limited information on the underlying drivers of healthy and unhealthy food consumption, particularly the contributions of the retail food supply. Complicating action on the double burden of malnutrition is the fact that policies influencing the consumer food environment are largely developed outside the health sector, in ministries of agriculture, trade, commerce, and finance. There is also continued policy focus on improving access to calories instead of improving the nutritional quality of diets. This project seeks to understand food retail environments and how they affect the availability of healthy and unhealthy food in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand. This, in concert with a better understanding of the policy and political context across multiple sectors, is necessary to address the growing burden of obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases. The project will map the food retail landscape in each country, taking consumer and retailer perspectives into account, to understand the availability of healthy and unhealthy foods. It will identify opportunities for strengthening the governance of food retail environments, increasing consumption of healthy foods, and developing a multi-country learning network of researchers working on urban food environments using a range of food policy research methods.
