153 p. As an approach, Health in All Policies (HiAP) has been recognized in major European resolutions,charters and communications, treaties, frameworks and action plans.This report aims to gauge opportunities for scaling up and strengthening a HiAP approach in 9 of theSouth-eastern Europe Health Network (SEEHN) countries. It is based on a review of materialsprepared by SEEHN member countries’ representatives for the Third Health Ministers Forum,“Health in All Policies in South-eastern Europe: A Shared Goal and Responsibility”. An overview isfollowed by detailed country-specific studies of current policy, and challenges, opportunities andrecommendations for strengthening HiAP.Adopting a HiAP approach is an effective approach to addressing the root causes of ill-health andimproving equity in the region. Firstly, at a time of economic crisis, it is economically sensible topool resources with other sectors to address common challenges, secondly, it demonstrates howimproving health contributes to the attainment of wider objective such as poverty reduction, inclusivegrowth and community wellbeing, thirdly it can improve the performance of health and social caresystems and make them more sustainable.Across the region there is strong political will to support HiAP, progress is being made to strengtheninstruments and capacity and examples of promising practice exist. The SEEHN offers anopportunity to build on existing work, .share learning to date and strength action for health anddevelopment with other sectors. There is however, more work to be done to scale-up and improve thecapacity and performance of HiAP in the region. Areas for action include a stronger focus on equityand systematically addressing the determinants of health, improved systems of intelligence for healthand social care systems and further training and instruments for policy makers and healthprofessionals. This work must be supported by continued political and financial support and furtherdevelopment of networks for implementation.
