Advocacy is one of the central strategies of the IUHPE to accomplish its mission and as such has a potentially large scope under which to work. In order not to disperse to the point of ineffectiveness, the Vice-President's 2007-2010 work plan focuses on reviewing the current programme portfolio of activities that involve an advocacy element, the strategic directions 2008-2010, and the resolutions from last World Conference in Vancouver, Canada. The goal is to initially prioritise the areas of work and then develop effective means to address those priorities appropriately.
The Vice-President implements both process-oriented actions and topical-oriented actions. For example, to respond to the need to establish an effective process for issuing press releases for advocacy issues. On the other hand, there are a number of topical issues, such as promoting peace, promoting indigenous health and human rights, which need further definition regarding effective action that the organisation can take, as well as a designated steering committee to drive the action.
Consequently, the IUHPE's work in this area involves supporting current priorities, reviewing possible priority areas and drafting processes to address these by:
-
Developing an updated portfolio of processes and priorities for IUHPE Advocacy activities in relation to IUHPE Strategic Directions, with specific place of concrete activities accompanying each priority area.
-
Establishing guidelines for IUHPE members regarding proposing resolutions for support and ensuing action by the organisation and its members.
The resolutions presented by IUHPE members at the General Assembly in 2007, which the Vice-President's plan takes action on, are:
-
Student representation in the IUHPE Board of Trustees and Executive Committee
-
Moving into sustainable health promotion to fight social inequalities in health
-
Taking action on the social determinants of health
-
Peace building and promotion
-
Determining the role of global health in global environmental change
-
Developing a whole system settings-based health promotion
