Updated on:

This toolkit addresses the need to include an equity component in the planning and implementation of Policy, Systems, and Environmental change approaches (PSE) undertaken to curb adverse trends in obesity and related health consequences.

The toolkit is based on the Getting to Equity in Obesity Prevention Framework (GTE) for planning and evaluating equity-focused PSE change approaches that support:

  • Food acquisition and healthy eating
  • Active living and meeting physical activity guidelines
  • Prevention and management of obesity and related health risks
