Aboriginal Diabetes Initiative
Métis, Off-reserve Aboriginal and Urban Inuit Prevention
and Promotion Program
The Métis, Off-reserve Aboriginal and Urban Inuit Prevention
and Promotion (MOAUIPP) Program provides time limited funding for
diabetes prevention and health promotion projects. These projects
aim to build awareness of diabetes and its complications and what
can be done to prevent diabetes. Projects emphasize healthy eating
and active living, and build awareness of the risk factors, complications,
and what can be done to prevent these from occurring. The MOAUIPP
program is intended to serve Métis, off-reserve Aboriginal
and urban Inuit who will access diabetes prevention and health
promotion programming, and want these programs to be culturally
appropriate.
The MOAUIPP program is delivered by an application driven process.
Organizations or associations can apply for funding through a national
Request for Applications process. Diabetes projects may be designed
and delivered in different ways depending on which population group
is targeted. However, activities must support the following program
objectives:
- Increase awareness of diabetes, diabetes risk factors and complications;
and ways to prevent diabetes and diabetes complications among
all Aboriginal people;
- Increase practice of healthy eating and active living behaviours
among First Nations, Inuit and Métis;
- Increase ownership of diabetes programs and capacity to combat
diabetes in First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities.

Diabetes Initiative.
