Subject: RE: Webinar - Aug 31: Working together to facilitate intersectoral action for health equity


Wed, Aug 31, 12:00 - 12:30 PM (EST)

Webinar: Working together to facilitate intersectoral action for health equity<http://hiapsystems.eventbrite.ca/>
Ketan Shankardass, Centre for Urban Health Solutions (C-UHS; formerly Centre for Research on Inner City Health (CRICH)

Municipal and provincial governments interested in embedding health equity in their work can use tools such as Health Equity Impact Assessment (HEIA) to facilitate intersectoral action (e.g., Health in All Policies approaches). In practice, the implementation of these approaches is influenced by many factors. Applying the same tool in two different settings (or jurisdictions) can result in very different outcomes.

Dr. Ketan Shankardass will present a framework examining how governments facilitate intersectoral action towards health equity. This framework can help actors from within government, as well as from public health, private sector and civil society organizations, think about the factors they should consider when using HEIA as a tool to implement intersectoral action.

A 15 minute presentation will be followed by a 15 minute Q & A session.
