Overview

While the Vietnamese government has put certain efforts to strengthening the right to health for Vietnamese people, with a focus on school aged children, through long-term health and nutrition development strategies, the implementation of those strategies has been currently facing with many limitations due to the lack of detailed regulatory instruments. The aim of this project, therefore, is twofold. The first objective is to understand the national laws, regulations, and litigation related to the regulation of trans fatty acids in Viet Nam. In order to achieve this objective, we will conduct a landscape analysis including three components of legal analysis, policy mapping and stakeholder analysis. The landscape analysis will be conduct in accordance with guidance of GHAI. The second objective is to explore the gap between school-based nutrition regulations and their current implementation, then propose potential recommendations for proper interventions of healthy school environment that is based on WHO best-practices to pace effective policies.
