GEGA (The Global Equity Gauge Alliance) has produced a booklet:
     The Equity Gauge: Concepts, Principles, and Guidelines

             Available online as PDf file [34p.] at:
http://www.gega.org.za/download/gega_gauge.pdf

     This booklet provides an overview of the Equity Gauge Strategy. The
Strategy supports policy and action for health equity
     using a three-pronged approach of Assessment & Monitoring, Advocacy,
and Community Empowerment. The document
     shows how the Strategy can be used to develop a comprehensive plan for
identifiying priorities, produce empirical
     information on health inequities, relate health to socioeconomic and
political environments, work with policy makers, and
     support the involvement of communities to promote health equity.

     The booklet and further information on GEGA are available on-line at
www.gega.org.za, and the GEGA Secretariat can be
