This report was prepared with the support of the Rockefeller Foundation (grant no. 2012 THS 317) as part of the Rockefeller Transforming Health Systems Initiative, Supporting the Development of Regional Positions on Health in All Policies and Identifying Lessons and Opportunities for Implementation (for the sake of brevity: Supporting Regional Positions on Health in All Policies). The grant aimed to support evidence-informed decisions on how governments can enhance intersectoral approaches to improve health and health equity through implementing a Health in All Policies approach in three WHO Regions: Africa (AFR), South-East Asia (SEAR) and the Western Pacific (WPR), with a particular emphasis on contributing to awareness raising and debate as intended by the WHO 8th Global Conference on Health Promotion.
