NOURISHING and MOVING policy databases
A repository of global data on nutrition and physical activity policy actions.
The NOURISHING and MOVING databases contain information about nutrition and physical activity policies that governments around the world have implemented to encourage people to eat healthily and move more.
Both databases collect policy actions from around the world that are implemented on a national level, and are in effect. The databases are organised around the policy areas outlined in the NOURISHING and MOVING policy frameworks.
Both databases include external evaluations of policies, where available.
