Co-hosted by CORE Group’s Nutrition Working Group and NCD Interest Group

The prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including overweight and obesity, is rising in low- and middle-income countries where conditions of undernutrition persist. CORE Group’s Nutrition Working Group developed a position paper and technical brief to understand how overweight and obesity is (or is not) being addressed in global settings, and spoke with nutrition, policy, and programming experts to discuss how those in charge of implementing programs and policy may address overweight and obesity across global settings. In collaboration with the NCD Interest Group, this webinar will discuss the findings from this position paper, and have a discussion and Q&A panel with experts with experience in overweight and obesity policy, programming, and research.
