2023 GHAI Healthy Food Policy Advocacy Fund For Entrepreneurs
The GHAI Healthy Food policy Advocacy Fund For Entrepreneurs provides critical support to help advance promising legislative or regulatory efforts on healthy food policy.
The Global Health Advocacy Incubator provides strategic support to advocates working to enact and implement laws that save lives. Our history is rooted in one of the most successful public health campaigns — tobacco control. Building on the successes and lessons learned in the global fight against tobacco deaths, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids launched the Global Health Advocacy Incubator in 2014 to strengthen advocacy capacity to improve public health around the globe.
