Key Strategies
| Promising Strategies cover
The Convergence Partnership will pursue four core strategies to create environments that foster good health for all communities.
1. Build support for environmental and policy changes that promote healthy eating and active living.
2. Promote and support coordination and connections within the healthy eating and active living field. 3. Optimize and increase investments to expand the intensity, reach, and number of community-based initiatives focused on environmental and policy change to increase opportunities for healthy eating and active living. 4. Foster market-based change so that healthy food and opportunities for daily physical activity are available, affordable, safe, convenient, and attractively presented and marketed to all residents. These four strategies interact, and the success of each is tied to the success of the others. So, while environmental change clearly requires changes in policy and organizational practice, it cannot happen without an engaged and a connected field, investments that help to spark and support momentum, and a marketplace that changes as implementation proceeds. |
