The objective of the conference is to 1) clarify the HiAP concept and its tools, 2) explore the interlinkages of health goals with the government`s strategic goals, as well as goals with other sectoral policies, 3) explore the linkages between economics and health and wellbeing and 4) define capacity needs for HiAP implementation.
The Europe Day will pursue these objectives in a European context.
Overreaching methodological considerations to reach these aims include:
1) sharing practical experiences from various parts of the globe and various levels of governance
2) giving concrete guidance on the structures, tools and processes of HiAP implementation
3) giving voice to sectors beyond that of health
1) Clarify the HiAP concept and its tools
This will be done mainly by the first and fifth plenary (implementation of HiAP: the concept, mechanisms and processes and social change for health) and the parallel session following these plenaries. The Europe Day will also emphasize guidance on very specific practical policy examples. In the Europe Day the first plenary will pursue this in a European context
Materials: The conference background paper, the tool kit, HiAP book, policy brief, Finnish HiAP publication
2) Explore the interlinkages of health goals with the government`s strategic goals, as well as goals of other sectoral policies
This will be done mainly in plenaries 2 and 3 (policy making and health, and action on closing the health inequity gap) and parallel sessions linked to these. The European day will specially emphasize this in its parallel session, which will be lead by persons from sectors other than health.
Materials: conference background paper, HiAP book and policy brief, Finnish HiAP experience
3) Explore the linkages between economics and health and wellbeing
The third plenary and the parallel session linked to it will discuss this at least from the following points of view: economic growth, redistribution and health; sustainable development, economics and health; wealth creation and health; economic costs of exclusion, and innovative financing for health.
The Europe Day`s plenary 2 will concentrate on this matter.
Materials: Conference background paper, HiAP book (chapters 2 and 12), policy brief.
4) Define capacity needs for HiAP implementation.
This will be done in particular in the last plenary (building and sustaining capacity for HiAP) and the parallel sessions linked to it.
Materials: The tool kit, background paper, HiAP book (chapter 12 and 13), policy brief.
