General objective of the project is to improve health and quality of life of citizens by tackling health inequalities (HI) by means of health promotion. This will be reached by increasing the capacity of stakeholders within European regions to use health promotion interventions to effectively tackle HI as a core part of action plans that access structural funds (SF). Project connects 10 countries from all parts of EU in meaningful partnership, using their existing capacity in reaching synergistic and sustainable effects. Project intends to increase capacity on regional level, which has already been identified as an obstacle in the use of SF. Project`s objective is also to prepare action plan by joining capacity and efforts in different sectors in region to reach comprehensive approach to improve health and reduce HI. Joint action of important stakeholders from different sectors in region will enable comprehensive approach to improve health and reduce HI in fields of health sector, education, employment and environment.
