The GAPPA Framework

In 2018, the World Health Organisation published the Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018-2030 (GAPPA). This is a framework for action, for national governments to adopt, which encompasses a whole systems approach to physical activity promotion across four strategic objectives. Throughout the implementation of this strategy, Get Ireland Walking uses the GAPPA framework to guide our work at a local and national level.
