Under the second phase of the Global Regulatory and Fiscal Capacity Building Programme (RECAP II), this sub-project aimed to contribute to an enabling legal and policy environment that promotes healthy diets and physical activity through sensitization and policy advocacy for the prevention and reduction of non-communicable diseases in Bangladesh. Building on the results of previous programming, the Center for Law and Policy Affairs (CLPA) conducted a series of sensitization initiatives with relevant national stakeholders, including Government officials, civil society organizations, policymakers and the general public, and awareness-raising campaigns via digital media on the importance of policy measures that promote healthy diets and physical activity, with a focus on the National Policy Guidelines on Physical Activity. In order to support the development, adoption and implementation of regulatory measures in the RECAP policy areas, CLPA also conducted evidence-based advocacy and social mobilization initiatives through the establishment of technical working groups and the development of a digital application to collect data on sugar-sweetened beverage and food product labelling, packaging and marketing from selected districts of Bangladesh.
