EPODE International Network

EPODE International Network (EIN) is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation that seeks to support childhood obesity-prevention programmes across the world.

The name EPODE comes from the French phrase Ensemble Prévenons l'Obésité Des Enfants; in English Together Let's Prevent Childhood Obesity

In light of the encouraging experiences and results of the EPODE methodology (towns in Belgium that implemented the program saw a 22 percent decrease in overweight children), the EPODE International Network was created in 2011 as a response to the global demand for action concerning the increasing international prevalence of overweight and obesity and the related non-communicable diseases. The EPODE International Network works to promote the prevention of childhood obesity by supporting Community Based Programmes (CBPs).
