Primary
- Establish GoPA! as the leading global surveillance system for monitoring physical activity policy, research, and surveillance worldwide.
- Provide high-quality data to drive evidence-based action for the promotion of physical activity at global, national, and local levels.
- Promote the visibility and quality of scientific evidence on physical activity across all world regions, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries.
- Foster cross-country and cross-sector collaboration to strengthen physical activity surveillance, policy development, and research capacity.
Secondary
Research
- Build global capacity to conduct high-quality research across five core domains: a) physical activity levels, trends and measurement, (b) determinants of physical activity, (c) health consequences of physical activity, (d) physical activity interventions, and (e) physical activity policy and practice.
Policy
- Strengthen national and international capacity to study, develop, implement, and evaluate effective physical activity policies across all stages of the policy process.
Surveillance
- Through the GoPA! Country Cards and the global network’s efforts, enhance the monitoring of physical activity trends, support evidence-informed policy development, and track national progress in physical activity promotion.
