This study was made possible through the technical and financial assistance of the Global Healthy Advocacy Incubator (GHAI). Implementation was supported by its coalition partners, FIAN-Uganda, the Centre for Food and Adequate Living Rights (CEFROHT), SEATINI, and CONSENT, under the umbrella of the Uganda National CSO Coalition for Front of the Pack Warning Labeling (UNCC-FOPWL).

We extend our sincere gratitude to the stakeholders from relevant government institutions, the food and beverage industry, food and nutrition experts, civil society, and the public for their valuable inputs, which were instrumental in shaping this report’s findings and recommendations.

Special appreciation is extended to the lead consultant, Dr. Rukundo Peter Milton, and his assistant, Dr. Munirah Mbabazi, for their invaluable technical guidance and contributions.

It is our hope that the insights and recommendations within this report will effectively support the Government of Uganda and all relevant stakeholders in advancing the Nutrient Profile Model (NPM) and Front of the Pack Warning Labelling (FOPWL) regulations.
