Healthy Behaviour, Food Safety and Quality Policy Comparison FINSophia Amenyah
The document compares policies related to healthy lifestyles, food safety and quality in Indonesia, Ghana, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. All countries have ongoing policies but objectives, targets and implementation differ. Key actors involved in implementation vary between countries. Monitoring and evaluation processes exist but could be strengthened, especially by adding quantifiable indicators. Funding and infrastructure limitations were identified. Recommendations include ensuring policies are evidence-based, participatory and focused on self-efficacy with improved evaluation to create effective future policies.
The document discusses policies for achieving urban food security. It explains the four pillars of food security: availability, access, utilization, and stability. For each pillar, it describes challenges cities face and recommends policy measures to address them, such as promoting urban agriculture to increase availability, poverty alleviation programs to improve access, and nutrition education to enhance utilization. Overall, it argues food security policies should be consultative and involve the private sector, promote competition, and strengthen the ability of local governments and the poor to work together to address food insecurity issues in cities.

CATCH addresses many of the Leading Health Indicators from Healthy People 2020, including increasing physical activity, daily PE, and recess while decreasing screen time. It also transforms school food environments by promoting nutritious meals and snacks in line with GO, SLOW, WHOA guidelines to reduce obesity and improve nutrition. CATCH teaches these healthy behaviors and nutrition lessons to students and families.
This document outlines Ontario's School Food and Beverage Policy which establishes nutrition standards for all food and beverages sold in schools. It requires school boards to ensure all food and beverages sold on school premises meet the nutrition criteria outlined in the policy by September 2011. The policy aims to address high obesity and overweight rates among children by promoting healthy eating habits in schools which research shows influences student attitudes and behaviors. It exempts some foods from the standards and allows 10 days per year where foods not meeting the standards can be sold.
The Let's Move! initiative was launched in 2010 by First Lady Michelle Obama to address childhood obesity. It has 5 pillars: creating healthy beginnings for children, empowering parents, providing healthy school foods, improving access to affordable healthy foods, and increasing physical activity. The initiative aims to decrease childhood obesity rates from over 30% to just 5% by 2030 by increasing fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity among children and decreasing sugar intake. Progress is monitored through health surveys and participation rates. Widespread partnerships help sustain the long-term program.
This document summarizes a health impact assessment conducted by the Kids Safe and Healthful Foods Project on establishing national nutrition standards for competitive foods and beverages sold in schools.

The document provides an overview of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), the Philippines' conditional cash transfer program. It discusses how the intergenerational cycle of poverty can be perpetuated by a lack of access to health, nutrition and education services for children from low-income families. The 4Ps aims to break this cycle by providing cash grants to poor households conditional on children's school attendance and compliance with health checkups and family development sessions. It has enrolled over 4 million households since 2008 and supports over 10 million children nationwide. The document also notes some common operational concerns in fully implementing the program.
The USDA published new nutrition standards for snack foods and beverages sold in schools. The standards, required by the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, will allow schools to offer healthier snack options to students while limiting junk food. The standards build on advances made in healthier school lunches and ensure students are only offered nutritious foods and beverages during the school day. The standards provide specific limits on calories, sodium, fat and sugar for foods, and calorie limits and portion sizes for beverages. USDA is seeking public feedback on the standards to help with implementation and potential adjustments.

of enrolled students are certified for free or reduced priced meals. Snacks under this option are
served free to all children and reimbursed at the free rate for snacks.
II. Non- Area Eligible Sites: The snacks at these sites are served at the free, reduced, or paid rates for
snacks. The rate each child pays is based on approved eligibility such as income applications, direct
certifications, etc.
As a note Non- Area Eligible Sites must maintain the documentation used to establish a child's eligibility as
this documentation would be reviewed as part of an Administrative Review.
5. AFTERSCHOOL SNACK

6. COUNTING AND CLAIMING
The counting and claiming system that SFA’s and RCCI’s have in place must ensure that snacks are counted,
recorded, consolidated and reported through a system that consistently yields correct claims. This system
should ensure the following;
• Each eligible child only receives one reimbursable snack per snack service.
• The reimbursable snack is only counted when it is served to the child at the point of service.
• Children are able to participate in this program until they turn 18 or until the end of the school year if
they turned 19 during the current school year.
• NOTE: Children determined to have mental or physical disability are not subject to the age limit requirement.
• Adult snacks including snack served to children because of age limits are counted separately since they
are not reimbursable.
7. SNACK NUTRITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS
A reimbursable snack consists of two of the following four
components
1. Milk (flavored or unflavored fat free or unflavored low
fat)
2. Fruit or Vegetable
