Dear colleagues from the health promotion and click4hp lists as well as
from the WHO Healthy cities regional focal points and collaborating centers
and the canadian research centers for health promotion (sorry for cross
postings; these lists combined should amount to close to 800 names). Please
find below a request sent to me by Anne Bunde Birouste, programs director,
International Union for Health promotion and education (IUHPE), Paris.

If any of you has ideas, contacts, interest in participating, etc., go for
it !!! You can contact Anne directly at her e-mail adress in Paris (in the
cc field above).

Merci.

>2. Collaboration with your Healthy Cities network
>I'd like to increase collaboration between the IUHPE and the healthy Cities
>network. There are a number of ways which we could do this.

B. Jakarta health Promotion Conference, July 1997
as you may remember, WHO has invited us [IUHPE]to develop the NGO track for this
meeting. We hope to have the work we do on this be carried out with a longer
term scope than Jakarta 97, ie. perhaps develop a network which would
collaborate on issues they would identify as priority; we would like to
think that whatever would be orgnaized for and happen during jakarta could
be carried on in action form after, and be integrated in some form into the
Puerto Rico Conference as well [The IUHPE international conference, june 1998].
It is important that we contact, for this, NGOs from different areas of the
globe. We'd like to try to combine larger, multinationally based NGOs, with
smaller, more locally oriented NGos. Through your work with healthy Cities,
or others, would you be able to indicate some people we could contact for this?
Again, there is not yet any guarantee from WHO that we will be able to offer
travel money to cover participation. I am not sure where we would be able to
find financial support, although I will try to find something.
