This project aims at facilitating the distribution of information on national approaches to physical activity promotion, including interministerial and intersectoral approaches and challenges to overcome in their development and implementation. The need and possibility to create a network of national networks is also explored.

A work group led by the University of Zurich, Switzerland, is collecting case studies on the development, content, implementation and evaluation of national physical activity policies in European countries.

The British Heart Foundation National Centre for Physical Activity and Health and the University of Zurich developed a tool for auditing HEPA policies, helping interested national agencies, institutes or other relevant groups promoting physical activity to assess within their own country the scope for policy actions aimed at promoting HEPA. The tool was piloted in 7 countries. A summary booklet will present conclusions and lessons learned.
