Evaluation of the European platform for action on diet, physical activity and health (2010)
final report
The European Platform for action on Diet, Physical Activity and Health is an innovative policy tool that was developed in response to the problem of the sustained, acute EU-wide increase in overweight and obesity. As outlined in the White Paper on a Strategy for Europe on Nutrition, Overweight and Obesity related health issues, the EU is using a range of instruments to address this problem, including legislation as well as other, “softer” approaches. The Platform is such a “soft” policy instrument; it relies on dialogue and voluntary commitments by stakeholders. The evaluation was to assess the extent to which this process has been effective.
