6. What is Policy?
A Conceptual Continuum
Policy is
considered to be a
rule or principle
that guides
decision-making
Policy is
• defined as the explicit (and thus
documented) formal decision
• by an executive agency
• to solve a certain problem
• through the deployment of
specific resources, and
• the establishment of specific sets
of goals and objectives
• to be met within a specific time
frame.
Evelyne de Leeuw (2007) “Policies for Health: The Effectiveness of their Development, Adoption, and Implementation”7
7. How Policy Impacts on Health
• Lasswell (1936) defined policy as “deciding who
gets what, where and how”.
• Thus policy regulates choices in every domain
pertaining to social determinants of health,
• be it housing, social assistance, environmental
protection, employment and economic issues,
agriculture or science and technology policy
• Lasswell, H. (1936) Politics: Who gets what, when, how. McGraw-Hill, New York. Cited by Evelyne de
Leeuw (2007) “Policies for Health: The Effectiveness of their Development, Adoption, and
Implementation” p55

9. The key International declarations and
publications that exhorts partnerships or
intersectoral actions for health:
• Alma-Ata Declaration (1978),
• Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (1986)
• Intersectoral action for health : the role of intersectoral
cooperation in national strategies for Health for All
(1986)
• Intersectoral Action for Health: A Cornerstone for
Health-for-All in the Twenty-First Century (WHO 1997),
• Adelaide Statement on Health in All Policies (WHO 2010).
11
10. Declaration of Alma-Ata International
Conference on Primary Health Care,
Alma-Ata, USSR, 6-12 September 1978
• VII: Primary health care:
• …
• 4. involves, in addition to the health sector,
all related sectors and aspects of national and community
development,
in particular agriculture, animal husbandry, food, industry,
education, housing, public works, communications and
other sectors;
and demands the coordinated efforts of all those sectors
• …

11. Prerequisites for Health
Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion
21 November 1986
The fundamental conditions and resources for health are:
• peace,
• shelter,
• education,
• food,
• income,
• a stable eco-system,
• sustainable resources,
• social justice, and equity.
• Improvement in health requires a secure foundation in
these basic prerequisites.
• http://www.who.int/healthpromotion/conferences/previous/ottawa/en/
14
12. The need for concerted action by many sectors
• The prerequisites and prospects for health cannot be
ensured by the health sector alone.
• … (it) demands coordinated action by all concerned, viz:
• governments,
• health and other social and economic sectors,
• nongovernmental and voluntary organization,
• local authorities,
• industry
• the media.
• People in all walks of life are involved as
• individuals,
• families and
• communities.
• Professional and social groups and health personnel have a
major responsibility to mediate between differing interests
in society for the pursuit of health.

17. Reasons for Intersectoral Action for Health
• Some examples of how health is impacted by actions beyond
the health sector are:
• the decline of road deaths as a result of a set of measures
that included road engineering and motor vehicle safety
measures,
• 23% reduction in cardiovascular diseases and stroke due to
a reduction in dietary salt intake from 10 g/day to 5 g/day,
• decrease in diarrhoea mortality because of improved access
to clean water (21 % decrease) and sanitation (23%
decrease),
• saving of thousands of lives through raising taxes on
tobacco and
• increase in life expectancy attributed to additional years of
education 20
18. Multisectoral - Definition by WHO
• Multisectoral (intersectoral) action
• refers to action between two or more sectors within the public sector (1)
• Multistakeholder action
• refers to action by actors outside the public sector (e.g. nongovernmental
organizations [NGOs] and the private sector).(2)
• The terms multisectoral action and intersectoral action are often
used interchangeably, and they have the same meaning unless
otherwise specified

19. Four Forms of Action Across Sectors
Actions are initiated by
the health authority
• participation from one or more ministries,
• primarily focused on improving health and
health equity
Actions are initiated by
head of government
Actions are initiated by
non-health agency
Actions are initiated by
head of government
• often arising to combat disease outbreaks
or manage health emergencies
• all ministries participating most of the time.
• the road and transport authorities assume lead
role in in the prevention of road deaths and
injuries (Department of Town and Country
Planning in P. Malaysia taking over Healthy Cities)
• find various sectors working together to
address one or more public health issues
• E.g., Healthy cities, healthy schools

20. Six Components of Action Across Sectors
Establish the need and priorities for action across sectors
Frame planned action
Identify supportive structures and processes
Facilitate assessment and engagement
Implement planned action across sectors
Ensure that monitoring,
evaluation and
reporting occurs

25. Why Partnerships For Health?
Health
• not solely the
responsibility of ministries
of health.
• Should be everybody’s
business
Partnership
• based on the simple adage that “two heads are better
than one”
• outcome of partnership work is not a simple addition of
the stakeholders’ inputs — it is a synergy of all inputs
31
26. Partnership: Definition
A partnership is:
• an arrangement
• in which parties agree
to cooperate
• to advance their
mutual interests
• (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partnership)
A partnership is:
• a shared commitment,
• where all partners have a
right and an obligation to
participate and
• will be affected equally by the
benefits and disadvantages
• arising from the
partnership.
• Ros Carnwell and Alex Carson. The concepts of partnership and
collaboration; p7, 10;

Practice in Health, Social Care and Criminal Justice: A
Partnership Approach; 1 Dec 2008
32
27. Types of Partnership
Type Description
Project
partnership
• time limited for the duration of a particular project
• A partnership between the police and other road safety organizations to
lower the speed limit will end when their project is successful
Problem oriented
partnership
• formed in response to a publicly identified problem
• remain as long as the problem persists.
• Examples of this might include Neighbourhood Watch schemes or
substance abuse teams.
Ideological
partnership
• arise from a shared outlook or point of view.
• similar in many ways to problem oriented partnerships,
• but they also possess a certain viewpoint that they are convinced is the
correct way of seeing things
Ethical
partnership
• have a sense of ‘mission’ and have an overtly ethical agenda, that seeks to
promote a particular way of life.
• They tend to be democratic and reflective and are as equally focused on
the means as the end.
• While most partnerships have codes of ethics or ethical procedures, ethical
partnerships have a substantive ethical content in their mission and
practice
Ros Carnwell and Alex Carson. The concepts of partnership and collaboration. P12-13
33
28. Three Dimensions of Partnerships
In simple terms, the three
dimensions translate into:
• more resources,
• more people, and
• new expertise.
A unidimensional
development that lacks
support and input from
the other two dimensions
is likely to collapse.
WHO (2003). The power of partnership. http://www.who.int/management/powerpartnership.pdf
35
Communitymobilisation
• Technical development
• Community mobilisation
• Service enhancement
29. Example: Prevention and Control of HIV/AIDS
in the early phase of the epidemic
• Taboo topics – Sex (especially MSM) and Substance abuse, and AIDS itself
• Cannot discuss, cannot educate, cannot fund
• Difficult to identify and work with the individuals at risk
WHAT WAS DONE
• partners were identified and an organisation structure for partnership was set
up
• Malaysian AIDS Council was formed
• Funds allocated to them to do the work that MOH cannot do
RESULT:
• more resources,
• more people, and
• new expertise.

35. Three main (and overlapping) interpretations of
sustainable health and health care
Addresses the rising costs
of health care
addresses the impact of
health care on the
environment and
resource consumption
addresses the roles of
health care during major
crises (e.g. the 2015-2016
Ebola epidemic in West
Africa) and physical
disasters (e.g.
earthquakes).
sustainable health care is
interpreted in the context
of financial sustainability
or affordability and
accessibility of health
care.
this involves ‘greening’
the sector with particular
attention to energy,
travel, waste,
procurement, water,
infrastructure adaptation
and buildings.
sustainable health care is
interpreted to mean that
the health care do not
collapse during times of
disaster and the terms
used are sustainable and
resilient health care.

than before.
AWARE?
Detects health
threats before
they strike.
ITERGRATED?
Rapidly deploys
resources
from beyond
the health
system.
SELF-
REGULATING?
Prevents health
disruptions from
turning into
disasters.
DIVERSE?
Delivers range
of services
with universal
health
coverage.

38. Sustainable health and health care - Definition
Sustainable health and health care is
the appropriate balance
between the cultural, social, and economic environments
designed to meet the health and health care needs
of individuals and the population
(from health promotion and disease prevention
to restoring health and supporting end of life)
and that leads to optimal health and health care outcomes
without compromising
the outcomes and ability of future generations
to meet their own health and health care needs.

44. Five Obstacles to Partnering
General public
•Prevailing attitude of scepticism
• Rigid / preconceived attitudes about specific sectors / partners
•Inflated expectations of what is possible
Negative Sectoral
characteristics
• Public sector: bureaucratic and intransigent
• Business sector: single-minded and competitive
• Civil society: combative and territorial
Personal limitations of
people leading the
partnership
• Inadequate partnering skills
• Restricted internal / external authority
•Too narrowly focussed role / job
• Lack of belief in the effectiveness of partnering
Organisational
Limitation
•Conflicting priorities
•Competitiveness (within sector)
• Intolerance (of other sectors)
Wider external
constraints
•Local social / political / economic climate
•Scale of challenge(s) / speed of change
•Inability to access external resources

• unrepresented or under-represented
stakeholders,
• inflexible and insensitive partners,
• unreliable partners,
• human factors.

47. HEALTH: WHO Definition
Health is a state
of complete physical,
mental and
social well-being and
not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
• Preamble to the Constitution of the World Health Organization as adopted by the International Health Conference, New
York, 19-22 June, 1946; signed on 22 July 1946 by the representatives of 61 States (Official Records of the World Health
Organization, no. 2, p. 100) and entered into force on 7 April 1948.
• The Definition has not been amended since 1948.
60
48. How should we define health? (2011)
• “The WHO definition of health as complete wellbeing is
no longer fit for purpose given the rise of chronic
disease.”
• Machteld Huber and colleagues propose changing the
emphasis towards
the ability to adapt and self manage
in the face of social, physical, and emotional
challenges.

57. Partnership and Intersectoral Action for Health
What is the Form of
intersectoral action?
Do we have the
necessary success
factors?
What are the
challenges?
• Actions are initiated by the
health authority, focussing
on improving health and
equity
• Action initiated by head of
government to address:
(1) health emergency /
outbreak, or
(2) broad public health
issues eg through
Healthy Cities
• Actions are initiated by
non-health agency eg to
address Road traffic
accidents
• Welcoming culture,
• membership,
• mutual benefit,
• common mandate
or purpose
• Prevailing attitude of
scepticism,
• bureaucracy,
• inadequate
institutional
capacity,
• inadequate
partnership skills,
• conflicting priorities,
• scale of challenge,
• speed of change,
• etc

71. Conclusion -1
• Partnerships and intersectoral Actions for
Health are easier said than done.
• We still have a long way to go before we can
achieve our vision of
“A nation working together for health”
85
72. Conclusion -2
In order for partnerships and intersectoral action to work, we
need to:
1. overcome the barriers to partnerships,
2. acquire the knowledge and skills
in working with communities and
how to work in partnerships at the levels of the
institution
as well as individual staff level,
3. set up the governance tools
(structures, processes, financial and mandates)
that foster coherence, collaboration and partnership
