Webinar: Governance and decision-making for health equity

This webinar took place in English.

As part of the Organizational Capacity for Health Equity Action Initiative, the NCCDH is hosting a series of webinars to discuss ways to strengthen organizational capacity for health equity. The webinar series is based on evidence, learning circle discussions and experiences of the two public health organizations implementing organizational change projects. This is the fourth webinar in the series.

Governance refers to the concepts of priority-setting, decision-making and the implementation of decisions.

Governance for action on health inequities and the social determinants of health takes into consideration a strong evidence base and effective data governance, the participation of affected communities, action across sectors, transparency and structures that enable the integration of health equity into institutional practices.
