Abstract in brief
- Urbanization and changing food environments in Africa are driving an increase in obesity and nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases (NRNCDs), but policy responses have been limited and often influenced by high-income country models.
- A realist synthesis of five key policy areas—such as regulating trade, marketing, labeling, food composition standards, and school food policies—was conducted using case studies from Ghana and Kenya to understand how these policies function within complex interconnected pathways.
- Successful policy implementation depends on factors like coherent laws, government capacity, stakeholder relationships, existing social and economic contexts, and increasing consumer demand for convenience and healthy diets, all influenced by local demographic and sociocultural drivers.
