The Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI) is seeking consultants to conduct a Legal and Policy Landscape Analysis on Sodium Reduction Policies in Panama, Paraguay and Uruguay. The application will be open until August 9, 2024.
GHAI is currently working in collaboration with the Resolve to Save Lives (RTSL) Cardiovascular Health (CVH) Initiative towards the goal of saving 100 million lives. As part of these efforts GHAI is tasked with leading policy advocacy campaigns to eliminate trans fatty acid (TFA) from the food supply, reduce sodium intake and improve hypertension screening and treatment.
Sodium reduction strategies, recognized by World Health Organization (WHO) as ‘best buy’ interventions, mitigate the harms of an unhealthy diet, particularly from the consumption of processed and packaged foods, hence for the prevention and control of diet related noncommunicable diseases. Implementing mandatory sodium targets policies tailored to national and regional contexts is crucial for effective sodium reduction at the population level.
GHAI is seeking qualified individuals or institutions to conduct a legal and policy landscape analysis for Sodium Reduction Measures in Panama, Paraguay and Uruguay focusing on opportunities for a national mandatory salt targets policy.
