Global Advocacy for Physical Activity – Advocacy Council of the International Society for Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH) -
Focuses on advocating for physical activity and communication between networks responding to the global physical activity and health agenda and aims to increase commitment in all regions to action on physical inactivity and encourage governments and interested stakeholders to develop, disseminate and implement national policies, programmes and services, and to support environments that promote physical activity and health.
In 2009, the Global Alliance for Physical Activity or GAPA, established in 2006 to coordinate and provide strategic orientation to the activities and actions developed by international and national NGOs, as well as civil society, to help countries initiate, strengthen and / or increase their efforts to address physical activity within the broad agenda of non-communicable disease prevention and health promotion, was incorporated into the International Society for Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH) structure to serve as the advocacy council of the new Society. To reflect this new home and consolidate its primary focus, GAPA changed its name to Global Advocacy for Physical Activity – Advocacy Council of ISPAH. Check out the 2009 GAPA newsletter.
