Tilly de Bruin (WHO)Vancouver, 6 June 2007 Overview of the different WHO school initiatives
Long experience in school health Mapping of WHO activities to: • Provide an overview of all activities; • Determine the added value of the DPAS School Policy Framework • Ensure framework will build upon existing knowledge and activities.
Conclusions There is not yet a global WHO policy tool: • aimed at governments (macro-level) • focused on how to improve dietary habits and increase physical activity • via the school setting. A considerable amount of knowledge and experience is available to build upon. • incorporate this knowledge • make sure DPAS School Policy Framework follows from these initiatives.
