Global Health Advocacy Project
What is GHAP?
The Global Health Advocacy Project (GHAP) functions to support a healthy Jamaican population by reducing obesity through public and policy maker awareness around healthy eating and related policy change. The project supports government and civil society actions to raise awareness among the public and policy makers of the health impact of sugar consumption and policy priorities to reduce consumption. The GHAP benefits from committed collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Wellness, Jamaica and between non-governmental organizations, civil society groups and medical organizations in Jamaica.
The main aims of the GHAP are to increase public support for obesity and NCD prevention policies through advocacy campaigns and build support of policy makers and key stakeholders to implement policy reforms to support health including sugary drinks tax, FOP warning labelling, restriction of marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages to children and a comprehensive school nutrition policy.
