Stakeholder perspectives on surveillance of physical activity and monitoring and evaluation of interventions in Saudi Arabia
M&E of PA in Saudi Arabia requires a multi-stakeholder, multi-sectoral approach, facilitated by creating a specialized governance and leadership committee. Some recommendations include establishing a multi-sectoral structure to lead PA in Saudi Arabia and developing mechanisms for sharing experiences and knowledge. Policymakers need to embrace such an agenda and advance discussions on the scope and structure of M&E and surveillance systems for PA.
