The creation of a healthy food environment is highly dependent on the policies that governments choose to implement. The objective of this study is to compare the level of implementation of current public policies aimed at creating healthy food environments in Burkina Faso with international good practice indicators.
This evaluation was carried out using the Food-EPI tool. The tool has two components (policy and infrastructure support), thirteen domains and fifty-six good practice indicators adapted to the Burkina Faso context.
Burkina Faso.
Expert evaluators divided into two groups: the group of independent experts from universities, NGO and civil society and the group of experts from various government sectors.
Among the fifty-six indicators, it was assessed the level of implementation as 'high' for six indicators, 'medium' for twenty-four indicators, 'low' for twenty-two indicators and 'very low' for four indicators. High implementation level indicators include strong and visible political support, targets on exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding, strong and visible political support for actions to combat all forms of malnutrition, monitoring of exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding indicators, monitoring of promotion and growth surveillance programmes and coordination mechanism (national, state and local government). The indicators on menu labelling, reducing taxes on healthy foods, increasing taxes on unhealthy foods and dietary guidelines are the indicators with a 'very low' level of implementation in Burkina Faso.
The general results showed that there is a clear need for further improvements in policy and infrastructure support to promote healthy food environments.
健康食品环境的创建高度依赖于政府选择实施的政策。本研究的目的是将布基纳法索目前旨在创建健康食品环境的公共政策的实施水平与国际良好实践指标进行比较。
本评估使用了食品环境政策指数（Food-EPI）工具。该工具包含两个部分（政策和基础设施支持）、13个领域以及56项根据布基纳法索情况调整的良好实践指标。
布基纳法索。
专家评估人员分为两组：来自大学、非政府组织和民间社会的独立专家小组以及来自政府各部门的专家小组。
在56项指标中，评估得出6项指标的实施水平为“高”，24项指标为“中”，22项指标为“低”，4项指标为“极低”。实施水平高的指标包括强有力且明显的政治支持、纯母乳喂养和辅食添加的目标、对防治各种形式营养不良行动的强有力且明显的政治支持、纯母乳喂养和辅食添加指标的监测、促进和生长监测计划的监测以及协调机制（国家、州和地方政府）。菜单标签、降低健康食品税收、提高不健康食品税收和膳食指南等指标在布基纳法索的实施水平为“极低”。
总体结果表明，显然需要进一步改进政策和基础设施支持，以促进健康食品环境。
