The evidence behind the campaign: research, policy briefs, fact sheets and campaign materials on Uganda's food environment and Front-of-Pack Warning Labelling.
The campaign draws on Uganda's own evidence base: the Ministry of Health landscape analysis of Uganda's food environment (2025), national NCD risk-factor data, and international guidance such as the WHO guideline on sugars intake for adults and children.
Verified sources are catalogued in the campaign knowledge base and used by the campaign assistant, so answers you get on this site are grounded in the same evidence the campaign publishes.
