About the programme
Colansa funds advocacy initiatives that use existing evidence to get a public policy adopted, implemented or enforced through non-legislative routes. Projects must be national in scope, carried out by a single organisation in a single eligible country, and connect with at least one priority area: front-of-pack labelling, fiscal measures, food and beverage advertising regulation, or access to healthy food. Up to two projects are funded in this line and projects run for 18 months.
Duration: 18 months
