Assessing governance for health and well-being: operationalizing whole-of-government approaches. Technical paper (2020)

This technical paper was presented as a background paper to the Expert Meeting on Governance for Health and Well-being held at the WHO Regional Office for Europe on 2 March 2020. It supports the WHO publications Concept note: assessment tool for governance for health and well-being and the Tool for mapping governance for health and well-being: the organigraph method. The paper collates the evidence on governance for health from literature and practice in the WHO European Region and presents the conceptual model and analytical framework that were developed by the Governance for Health programme of the WHO Regional Office for Europe to support countries in assessing and strengthening multi- and intersectoral governance for achieving sustainable health and well-being systems and outcomes.
