Work Package 8

Scale & Sustain

WP8 will provide a long-term legacy for Cities@Heart interventions, creating a structured framework and decision-support tool for municipal to global policy action. It will generate essential evidence to understand mechanisms for scale-up, including lessons from the barriers and facilitators to implementation.

 

The evaluation indicators from WP7 will be used to develop decision tools that can be used by policymakers. It aims to improve strategic coherence and coordination between the public and private sectors.

Leaders

Work Package 8 is co-led by the University of Antwerp and Novartis with support from the London School of Economics.
