Are any mechanisms or agencies in place in your country to ensure cross-sectoral collaboration on the delivery of HEPA policy, at the national level? If yes, briefly describe. Please provide information on who is involved, who is leading these efforts, and how these collaborations function in practice. Please also mention (to the extent possible) any positive or more difficult experiences. This may also include examples of collaboration with the private and voluntary sectors.

  Surveillance system for physical activity (HEPA-PAT Question 20)

Does your country have a health surveillance or monitoring system that includes measures of physical activity or sedentary behaviour? If yes, please provide details according to age group (you may copy and paste as many response sections as needed). Please describe long-term general population surveys in: Question 20a (children and young people); Question 20b (adults) and Question 20c (older adults/seniors). Please add more boxes if needed.

  Goals for physical activity prevalence

Does your country have any national goals (or national targets) for population prevalence of physical activity? If yes, please provide details of each target and the time frame. Please start with the most specific and measurable targets, followed by a listing or summary statement of any more general targets and goals for physical activity-related behaviours.

  National physical activity recommendations (HEPA-PAT Question 17a)

Does your country have any national recommendations on physical activity and health? National recommendations refer to a consensus statement on how much activity is required for health benefits. If recommendations exist for any of the target groups listed, please provide details for the population subgroups (where applicable), including issuing body, year of publication, title of the document, and provide a web link if available (please also specify whether the document is available in English). If no recommendations exist, please mark the “no” column for the respective target group. If your country has officially adopted or endorsed international recommendations (e.g. of WHO or the United States Department of Health), this should be mentioned as part of the description of the respective recommendations.

  Funding of HEPA policy (HEPA-PAT Question 24a)

Within each of the sectors listed, is funding specifically allocated or “ring-fenced” for the delivery of physical activity- related policy or action plans at the national level? Please tick yes/no, and provide the amount (and currency), if known. Please also indicate whether this funding is recurrent; that is, provided on a regular basis (e.g. annually).
