Promoting Health: Guide to National Implementation of the Shanghai Declaration
2018
This report from the World Health Organization (WHO) provides an overview of policy approaches and actions to guide national implementation of the 2016 Shanghai Declaration on Promoting Health in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which recognizes health and well-being as essential to achieving sustainable development and reaffirms health as “a universal right, an essential resource for everyday living, a shared social goal, and a political priority for all countries.” The guide focuses on multi-sectoral collaboration and advocacy, outlining 20 steps around three “pivots”: transformative policy, creating political will to act, and enabling transformative governance capacities at the country level. The report is designed for government leaders and health policy experts working to advance the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, and may also be useful in graduate classroom sessions on health policy administration as a tool to compare the 2016 Declaration with suggested efforts for putting such non-binding affirmations into practice.
