| Co-design and implement four evidence-based interventions to create a synergistic effect on nutrition, health, and the environment (WP2-4). | Adolescents and their families, community healthcare workers (CHW), implementers, policymakers in three cities.Policymakers, researchers in other contexts, and international organizations. |
Societal: Promote food security.
Economic: Beneficial economic impact Economic: Prevent healthcare and |
| Define an implementation model, guidelines, and tools that enable healthcare practitioners and providers to implement interventions for the prevention of NCD risk behaviors (WP2-4). | HCW and providers in lowand middle-income countries (LMICs) serving vulnerable populations. | Scientific: Access to and use specific guidelines to implement health interventions that decrease risks of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) related to urban environments. |
| Provide public health managers and authorities with access to improved policy and implementation-relevant insights and evidence on NCD risk behaviors in urban settings, and the effectiveness of interventions to address them (WP5, 6). | Public health managers and ministries of health, education, environment, and agriculture. | Economic: Support efficient and effective resource planning to synergistically combat NCDs across multiple sectors.
Societal: Knowledge to design improved urban planning policies to diminish health associated risks. |
| Determine synergistic effects of 4 interventions in 3 urban settings, taking into account the specific contexts by using implementation science approach (WP4, 6). | Researchers, clinicians and authorities. | Scientific: Understanding adaptation and scalability of successful interventions to different urban environments in SSA.
Economic: Ability to prioritize when choosing intervention components. |
| Full engagement of community members, local stakeholders, and authorities in implementing and taking up a multi-component intervention, thereby, contribution to deliver better health (WP2, 3). | Adolescents and their families, community members. |
Societal: Co-designed solutions that are grounded in trust and participation and ultimately owned by the beneficiaries.
Societal: Improved community cohesion. |
| Provide understanding of local contexts and practices, including existing policies (WP2). | Adolescents, HCW, implementers, local policymakers.Policymakers and researchers in other contexts and international organizations. |
Scientific: Creating new knowledge regarding how to optimize implementation of sustainable health interventions.
Technological: Co-designing new/adapted solutions, which will contribute to improved health outcomes. |
| Improved urban physical environment through composting by reducing waste in the surrounding areas and plastic waste management (WP2). |
Adolescents and their families, community members. | Societal: Generating a healthy environment for increased physical activity, improved food safety, and reduced greenhouse gases.
Economic: Available self-sufficient food supply and households’ surplus production. |
