In 2008, the IUHPE, in collaboration with other regional, national and international organisations, embarked on a learning exchange between Communities for Health (C4H) in England and the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health across the US (REACH US) communities that are tackling health inequalities. The exchange comprised site visits in England and the US, then debrief meetings to extract lessons learnt from the visits followed by a conference to enable broader dissemination of efforts in June 2012. The exchange has resulted in the identification of key common themes, along with insight into the fundamentals of the efforts to address health disparities in each country and within the respective communities. This report describes the lessons learned, drivers, factors for success and strategies that worked. it also presents recommendations for policy and practice at the local, national and global levels. |

The APHPE, through support from the IUHPE, has conducted a literature review on health promotion in the region and has commissioned a comprehensive set of manuscripts for a publication on Health Promotion Effectiveness. The main aim of this publication is to provide evidence that health promotion is an effective approach to addressing health and development issues. It is therefore anticipated to be an advocacy tool for health promotion in the region. The publication will also serve as a reference manual for training in health promotion, and will potentially increase recognition of the context of health promotion in the African region.

Since the UN High Level Meeting on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) in New York in 2011 the world has seen ambitious targets set, only to be met with a failure to fully implement and thus achieve those targets.

Policy Brief: Building global capacity for non-communicable diseases (NCD) prevention |
|
Authors |

Year |
2013 |
Presentation |
Chronic diseases, also referred to globally as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both the economically advanced countries of the world as well as in economically poorer countries, the socalled LMICs (lower and middle income countries). While there are established preventive and health promotion approaches to mitigate the effects of NCDs which are embedded in the public health and health services infrastructure in developed countries, there is often little or no such infrastructure in the LMICs. This contributes to the growth of health inequalities between countries. The nature and strength of capacity for dealing with NCDs in LMICs has been of concern to public health and health promotion institutions in both developed and developing countries. Most poorer countries lack very specific as well as systemic infrastructure. In order to gain a better understanding of this problem, the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened a three-day workshop in Atlanta, USA to consider priorities for the global efforts for building NCD capacity in LMICs. The invited attendees at this workshop consisted of a broad range of leaders and institutions concerned with capacity building in LMICs. Their observations and recommendations are presented in this policy brief. |
