“…The main partners MIF, Save the Children, and Magic Bus work in full collaboration with a range of government stakeholders, including public education departments (SHA includes children of age [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], agriculture departments (to help promote and create more kitchen gardens), and social welfare and health departments (for community health initiatives, including support for pregnant women).

“…Over the past 6 years, the Mondelēz International Foundation (MIF) has been partnering with private and public organizations across world regions supporting the delivery and evaluation of school-based healthy lifestyles programs focusing mainly in fostering healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The objective of this article is to identify the key factors that have enabled the successful implementation of MIF-supported school-based PPPs in 7 countries located in Asia (China and India), Africa (South Africa), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom), and Latin America (Brazil and Mexico). Findings are likely to help understand how future PPPs seeking to curb the obesity epidemic can be successfully established across world regions.…”

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been recognized as central for addressing the childhood obesity epidemic. However, very few real-world examples have been published documenting the workings of effective PPPs. The objective of this article is to identify the factors that enabled the successful implementation of school-based PPPs focusing mainly on nutrition and physical activity in 7 countries located in Asia (China and India), Africa (South Africa), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom), and Latin America (Brazil and Mexico). We triaged qualitative data from (1) proceedings from 2 school-based healthy lifestyles program evaluation workshops in October 2013 and in May 2016; (2) Mondelēz International Foundation (MIF) annual country reports and MIF project reports; and (3) interviews with key program leaders from each program. Extracted data were mapped into each of the 11 guiding principles for effective PPPs recently developed by a multisectoral public-private group of stakeholders in the United States. Three of the 7 countries met all, and the remaining 4 met between 4 and 7 of the guiding principles. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is strong evidence that all programs are having a positive impact on healthy lifestyles knowledge and practices in the target populations. This MIF-led initiative provides important lessons as to how to establish effective PPPs designed to tackle the childhood obesity epidemic globally.

The development of society also requires special care for health. Health is a special human capital that benefits individuals and society. It is defined by the state of harmony established between the natural gifts received by people at birth and the choices set for a particular lifestyle throughout life. The goal of this paper is to present several ways to balance the chosen lifestyle, to identify and eliminate the causes of the most common diseases and to show its influence on the entire societal development. Research focuses on the role and effects of good changes in nutrition and behavior. When the right lifestyle is adopted, change is a gain (Reunen, 2015), with individual and social consequences. To put health problems into daily activities and habits involves identifying factors that directly affect people's lives and labor-such as shortcomings, dissatisfaction, or stress. In order to achieve better results, people use to adhere to different principles; however, they often receive opposite effects, which they know to read them correctly, their value and needs, and the real conditions of life (Pakholoc, 2013). The objective of the paper is based on the challenges offered to all categories of people who decide to change their behavior and lifestyle by adopting alternatives to stress, sedentary and dysfunctional nutrition. Two hypotheses are considered (cognitive and emotional) to deepen the analysis between the desire to take a new initiative to get health and to develop new relationships between different actions such as the decision to change, the abandonment of wrong habits and the creation of a new mentality, for the individual and society benefit.

“…Through the PIP process, the workshop participants also discovered that even though the heart of their programs is education, few if any were actually monitoring improvements in teachers' and children's knowledge and behaviors related to healthy lifestyles. As discussed in the final article in this Supplement summarizing the lessons learned [11], the workshop culminated in a consensus process on the suite of common indicators of the programs' impact on healthy lifestyles to meet its second objective. The workshop's success is due, in large part, to careful planning that involved a highly interdisciplinary team with expertise in community nutrition, program evaluation, and community-based organizations.…”
