**Call for Expressions of Interest and Proposal**
**#036: A contracting partner to provide technical support to the WHO Viet Nam**
**Country Office in conducting an assessment on Knowledge, Attitude and Practice**
**(KAP) of the pre-packaged food industry regarding nutrition labelling**
**regulations and salt level target recommendations for prepackaged food.**
**1. Background**
Viet Nam is facing the increasing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which includes four out of every ten deaths attributed to heart disease, with hypertension as the leading cause. There was a significant increase in the prevalence of raised blood pressure from almost 19% in 2015 to over 26% in 2021. One important risk factor of hypertension and some other NCDs is excessive consumption of salt. Average salt consumption in Viet Nam is 8.1gr per day per person, which is 60% higher than WHO recommendations (less than 5g per day). Creating supportive environments to motivate people to choose healthier diets including less salt consumption is one of the key interventions to help reduce NCD risk factors and address this preventable disease burden.
With support from the WHO Viet Nam and Resolve To Save Lives (RTSL), in December 2023, with WHO and development partner support, the Ministry of Health issued Circular No. 29 on “Guidance on the content and how to write nutritional ingredients and nutritional value on food labels”. The Circular is the first-ever policy requirement for nutrition labelling in Viet Nam. Foods produced, traded, imported, and circulated in Viet Nam must have the nutritional ingredients recorded on their packages. In addition, in March 2024, the Ministry of Health’s General Department of Preventive Medicine issued Guideline No. 249 on “Recommendations for maximum sodium in processed and packaged foods” for some commonly used pre-packaged foods in Vietnam.
These policies if well enforced, will contribute directly to the implementation of the National Strategy for NCDs Prevention and Control 2015-2025. Although, the implementation of these policies is heavily dependent on the food industry, to date, there is no data regarding pre-packaged food industry knowledge of and attitudes towards the new nutrition labelling circular and the sodium recommendations. This data is needed to enable an evidence informed approach to communications and engagement targeting the food industry, with an aim to support the successful uptake and implementation of these new regulations and recommendations.

End date: 30/12/2024
