Brief RFP Summary:

 

Project Overview

In collaboration with the Ontario Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance
develop an Ontario Chronic Disease Prevention /Healthy Living Strategy.

 

Chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability.  Each
year about 163,000 Canadians die due to cardiovascular disease, cancer,
lung disease, and diabetes, accounting for over two-thirds of the total
annual death toll.   Cardiovascular disease was responsible for 34% of
lives lost in 2001, roughly 74,824 Canadian deaths. Cancer is second and
claimed the lives of 63,774 Canadians in the same year.

 

The Ontario Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance (OCDPA) is a
Non-Governmental collaborative of organizations who recognize an urgent
need for a comprehensive, coherent, well-resourced, systematic effort to
prevent chronic disease at a population level in Ontario.  

            

OCDPA currently consists of 9 Core partners and approximately 35
Affiliate members who are committed to the mission to improve the health
of Ontarians through leadership that supports collaborative action to
promote healthy living and to address the determinants of health
necessary for chronic disease prevention.  OCDPA is committed to work
together with governments on a chronic disease prevention strategy. 

            

The consultant is to undertake a system analysis and develop the
"Strategy"       

 

The contractor will liaise with the Manager of the Ontario Chronic
Disease Prevention Alliance and work closely with the Strategic Planning
Working Group (SPWG), and ultimately the OCDPA membership.
