There is global interest in using multisectoral policy approaches to improve diets, and reduce obesity and non-communicable disease. However, there has been ad hoc implementation, which in some sectors such as the economic sector has been very limited, because of the lack of quality evidence on potential costs and impacts, and the inherent challenges associated with cross-sectoral policy development and implementation. The Pacific Obesity Prevention in Communities food policy project aimed to inform relevant policy development and implementation in Pacific Island countries. The project developed an innovative participatory approach to identifying and assessing potential policy options in terms of their effectiveness and feasibility. It also used policy analysis methodology to assess three policy initiatives to reduce fatty meat availability and four soft drink taxes in the region, in order to identify strategies for supporting effective policy implementation.
全球关注采用多部门政策措施来改善饮食，减少肥胖和非传染性疾病。然而，由于缺乏关于潜在成本和影响的高质量证据，以及跨部门政策制定和实施所固有的挑战，这种做法一直是临时性的，在经济部门等部门更是如此。太平洋预防社区肥胖食物政策项目旨在为太平洋岛国的相关政策制定和实施提供信息。该项目制定了一种创新的参与式方法，根据有效性和可行性来确定和评估潜在的政策选择。它还利用政策分析方法来评估该区域减少含脂肉类供应的三项政策举措和四项软饮料税，以确定支持有效政策实施的战略。
