Capacity building roundtable on trade and health: Roundtable Discussion Report

Abstract

The Roundtable provided capacity-building for national organisations and associations in public health, medical and NCD advocacy. It focused on the ways trade agreements can shape NCD risk factors and lessons from advocacy in the trade and public health domains. Participants explored next steps for elevating attention to the potential health impacts in Australia's trade policymaking in the future. Participants agreed on the need for a wider network of organisations and policy influencers in the trade domain and further trade literacy activities and resources to strengthen capacity building for monitoring and advocacy.
