PowerPoint Presentation

This webinar was organized by the World Health Organization, the Global Network for Health in All Policies, and the Centre for Health in All Policies Research Translation.

Establishing and maintaining collaborations with partners across policy sectors are key to successfully act on the social determinants of health and improve health, well-being and equity. During this webinar, participants learned the main themes of a forthcoming WHO guidance document titled Sustainable Multisectoral Collaboration for Addressing the Social Determinants of Health, Equity and Well-being. This WHO publication, to be launched later in 2022 will provide guidance for implementing and sustaining collaboration across public policy sectors to address the underlying social, economic and environmental determinants of health affecting health and health equity.

To start off, the webinar provided an overview of the forthcoming guidance and its thematic 4 pillars for multisectoral collaboration. A round table discussion followed where panellists discussed the 4 pillars drawing on their experience of testing the framework and applying HiAP in practice.

Webinar objectives

• Learn about the principles underpinning the development of the forthcoming WHO Sustainable Multisectoral Collaboration guidance document and its usefulness to address the social determinants of health, equity and well-being
