WHY HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP) MATTERS? 1 Governments are increasingly looking for whole-of-government approaches to address wicked policy problems such as obesity and climate change, and to work across sectors to develop joined-up policy solutions. 1 Public policies and decisions made in all sectors and at different levels of governance can have a significant impact on population health and health equity. 2
WHY HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP) MATTERS? 1 Action for health requires intersectoral action: 3 Many of the determinants of health and health inequities in populations have social, environmental and economic origins that extend beyond the direct influence of the health sector and health policies. HiAP provides a means to identify and avoid the unintended impacts of public policy that can be detrimental to the health of populations or subgroups of the population; therefore reducing risk. 4
1 BECOME A POLICY CHAMPION Policy champions and policy entrepreneurs are crucial to the HiAP approach. A person or team willing and able to lead and manage the policy process. Entrepreneurial policy-makers are able to break with habits, transcend boundaries and initiate new policies. Their creative acts have transformative effects on politics, policies and institutions.
