Concept note: Assessment tool for governance for health and well-being (2018)

This concept note presents the concept for a specialized assessment tool developed to assess the capacity of countries to design, coordinate and implement different governance approaches for improved health and wellbeing: whole of society, whole of government, multisectoral, intersectoral and intrasectoral. It presents the tool and outlines the methodology of implementation through four phases. It was developed by the Governance for Health and Well-being programme in response to the decision of the 65th session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe EUR/RC65/16 Promoting intersectoral action for health and well-being in the WHO European Region: health is a political choice, which was adopted in 2015.
