Global Health Advocacy: Grants for Food Policy Projects

The Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI) offers one-year grants up to USD 200,000 for advocacy campaigns in healthier food policies.

About the Role

The initiative provides one-year grants to support advocacy campaigns that aim to reduce the consumption of ultra-processed foods and sweetened beverages, increase access to nutritious foods, and counter harmful or weakened public health policies. Recipients will receive strategic and technical guidance to enhance their advocacy capacity and achieve measurable policy impact within the grant period.

• Marketing Restrictions: Comprehensive bans on the advertising and promotion of ultra-processed foods and sweetened beverages.
• Procurement Policies: Measures prohibiting the sale or provision of ultra-processed foods and sweetened beverages in public institutions (particularly schools), while promoting healthy options.
• National Food-Based Dietary Guidelines or Nutrient Profile Models: Government adoption of strong, evidence-informed frameworks that discourage unhealthy food consumption.
