Implementation of the Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and
Health" has now been published. The overall purpose of this tool is to
guide policy-makers at national and sub-national levels in the
development and implementation of policies that promote healthy eating
and physical activity in the school setting through changes in
environment, behaviour and education.
