Human health is shaped by public policy decisions made not only by the health sector, but numerous other sectors and actors that influence peoples social, economic, and cultural conditions. Therefore, national health ministries cannot solve the root causes of many health problems without also engaging non-health sectors to implement health-promoting public policies. For over three decades, the World Health Organization (WHO) has actively endorsed the concept of intersectoral action for health as a key approach to address the most pressing health challenges at the national and international levels. At the international level, the need to engage non-health sectors in health promotion activities has been repeated in nine outcome documents of the global health promotion conferences organized by WHO between 1986 and 2016. However, calls to promote health through greater intersectoral action have not led to wide-scale and systematic implementation by national governments and jurisdictions. The challenges and opportunities to intersectoral action for health are rarely identified in a systematic way in the existing research literature. To address the current gap in knowledge, this dissertation was based on three key research questions: (1) How do the expert informants within the WHO Regional Office for Europe understand the concepts of intersectoral action for health and governance for health?, (2) What do the academic literature and key informants identify as the challenges and barriers to intersectoral action for health?, and (3) Which factors facilitate the implementation of the intersectoral action for health and what are the opportunities to promote health through such action in the future? The methods of this study included an in-depth review of literature and primary data collection that involved 28 semi-structured interviews with WHO Programme Managers, Unit Leaders, Directors, and Technical Officers working at the WHO Regional Office for Europe in Copenhagen. A thematic analysis of the key informant interviews focused on the challenges and opportunities to intersectoral action for health. The aim of this analysis is to shed light on the factors that are relevant to the policy process and dynamics of intersectoral policymaking. The findings of this study draw on the perspectives that the informants had gained by working with many of the 53 countries that comprise the WHO European region. The analysis involved a computer-assisted coding process with NVivo software and led to ten thematic challenges/barriers and to ten thematic opportunities/facilitators. Overall, this dissertation increases understanding of the political, technical, institutional, and managerial barriers to intersectoral action for health. In addition, it presents a systematic analysis of the factors that can facilitate intersectoral action for health and considers the future of intersectoral approaches in health promotion. Based on the empirical findings, the concluding section includes eighteen recommendations for strategies to overcome the challenges and barriers to the implementation of intersectoral action for health in the future. These recommendations include various strategies such as ensuring high-level political support and a mandate for intersectoral action, mapping out co-benefits among sectoral partners, establishing permanent intersectoral mechanisms, ensuring adequate resources for implementation and monitoring, and increasing the capacity of the health sector to work with non-health sectors.

"Health 2020 is the new health policy framework of the WHO European Region. The policy aims at significantly improving the health and well-being of populations, reducing health inequalities, strengthening public health and ensuring sustainable people-centred health systems. Health 2020 is for the whole of government and the whole of society. It envisages actions and outcomes well beyond the boundaries of the health sector and beyond the remit of the ministry of health. Health 2020 therefore proposes reaching out and working together with other ministries, departments, sectors, organizations, stakeholders and civil society organizations. Health 2020 also proposes reaching out to, and working together with, citizens, patients and consumers, providing more opportunities for empowerment. Progress towards all these goals will be achieved by policy action in four areas: investing in health through a life-course approach and empowering citizens; tackling Europe's major disease burdens of noncommunicable and communicable diseases; strengthening people-centred health systems and public health capacities, including preparedness and response capacity for dealing with emergencies; and creating supportive environments and resilient communities. This volume presents in a practical way an analysis of how to reach out and work together. It focuses and gives clear advice on intersectoral governance structures that can facilitate intersectoral action. It is hoped that the volume will help WHO Member States assess and revise their practices of intersectoral collaboration, and inspire new ways of reaching out and working together. We also hope that it will encourage the exchange of good practices between countries. The book was developed in parallel with Health 2020 and it has continuously informed the technical consultations with Member States and experts that have taken place over the last two years. It comes as part of a package of studies that has provided scientific background to the development of Health 2020, including a study on governance for health in the 21st century and a review of social determinants and the health divide, both of which also provide examples on how to implement whole-of-society and whole-of-government approaches."--P.
