*Building on our heritage, looking to our future*

“….The 8th Global Conference on Health Promotion was held in ****Helsinki**,
**Finland**** from 10-14 June 2013. The meeting builds upon a rich heritage
of ideas, actions and evidence originally inspired by the Alma Ata
Declaration on Primary Health Care (1978) and the Ottawa Charter for Health
Promotion (1986). These identified intersectoral action and healthy public
policy as central elements for the promotion of health, the achievement of
health equity, and the realization of health as a human right. Subsequent
WHO global health promotion conferences1 cemented key principles for health
promotion action. ****


These principles have been reinforced in the 2011 Rio Political Declaration
on Social Determinants of Health, the 2011 Political Declaration of the UN
High-level Meeting of the General Assembly on the Prevention and Control of
Non-communicable Diseases, and the 2012 Rio+20 Outcome Document (the Future
We Want). They are also reflected in many other WHO frameworks, strategies
and resolutions, and contribute to the formulation of the post-2015
development goals….”****

Also three other WHO regions develop case studies and hold consultations on
intersectoral action and Health in All Policies. Tackling the social
determinants of health requires governments to coordinate and align
different sectors and various types of organizations in the pursuit of
health and development.
Building effective and coherent governance, whereby all sectors take
responsibility for reducing health inequities, is therefore essential.
Implementing a Health in All Policies approach is a key component of this
process.****

In order to continue building on the evidence and creating a community of
practice on Health in All Policies (HiAP), regional projects were organized
by the WHO *Regional Offices for Africa (AFRO), South-East Asia (SEARO),
and Western Pacific (WPRO).*

*
*Supported by the Social Determinants of Health Unit in WHO Headquarters
and funded in part by the Rockefeller Foundation, WHO regions conducted
literature reviews and consultations in order to develop understanding of
intersectoral action and opportunities for HiAP. ****

WHO regions developed country case studies that showcase challenges and
opportunities in implementing HiAP.
