Following a meeting of Designed to Move stakeholders in Portland earlier this year, the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI) expresses how important it is to take a lead in promoting and ensuring physical activity across the globe. The WFSGI stresses the strategic aspect of the initiative and the need to continue advocacy as well as awareness raising processes in order to impact decision-making bodies and governments. Also it is necessary to create synergies, work together and make organisations accountable for their social responsibilty. In fact the WFSGI has contributed to the production of the WHO Global Action Plan (GAP) 2013-2020 in order to acknowledge the need to invest in physical activity.
