Public Private Partnerships fighting obesity in Europe
According to the Commission of the European Communities, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are ‘the cornerstone’ to tackle obesity today.

Selon la Commission Européenne, les Partenariats Public Privé (PPP) sont aujourd’hui les « pierres angulaires » permettant de traiter l’obésité. Cette recherche analyse la façon dont les PPP actuels qui luttent contre l’obésité en Europe diffèrent en fonction des régimes politiques : de la socio démocratie Nordique au conservatisme libéral des Régimes Méditerranéen et d’Europe de l’Est. On identifiera les caractéristiques principales des PPP en examinant les différents types de partenaires, les groupes cibles et les objectifs. Certaines variations entre les régimes européens ont été mises à jour, mais la conclusion générale est que la plupart des PPP luttant contre l’obésité en Europe visent à modifier les pratiques alimentaires et d’exercice physique des consommateurs par l’information. Tandis que les PPP fondées sur l’information peuvent augmenter les inégalités sociales, il est suggéré que davantage de soutien devrait aller vers les PPP ayant pour objectif de transformer les structures de la société qui rendent difficile le « choix » santé aux personnes défavorisées. On peut interpréter les résultats de cette étude comme une indication de la tendance vers la standardisation et l’harmonisation des politiques nutritionnelles et de la culture alimentaire partout en Europe. |

According to the Commission of the European Communities, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are ‘the cornerstone’ to tackle obesity today.

Some variations between European regimes were found, but a general conclusion is that most PPPs fighting obesity in Europe aim at changing consumers’ eating and exercise practices through information.
