3 SUMMARY General objectives The General Objectives of the joint action are to help to reduce health inequalities by:. developing knowledge for action on health inequalities. supporting the engagement of Member States, regions and other stakeholders in action to tackle socio-economic and geographic health inequalities. sharing learning between Member States and other actors. supporting the development of effective action to tackle socio-economic health inequalities at the European policy level. Action to tackle health inequalities is required at EU, national, regional and local level, with a wide range of stakeholders across a range of policy areas. The joint action aims to strategically engage with key players to develop, evidence and knowledge of what works. Strategic relevance and contribution to the public health programme The current Joint Action directly supports the Commission Communication responding to the actions: 1. Develop health inequalities audit approaches through the Health Programme in Joint Action with member states willing to participate 2. Include health inequalities as one of the priority areas within the ongoing cooperation arrangements on health between the European regions and the Commission. 3. Review the possibilities to assist Member States to make better use of Cohesion policy and structural funds to support activities to support activities to address factors contributing to health inequalities. 4. Develop ways to engage relevant stakeholders at European level to promote the uptake and dissemination of good practice.` It responds directly to the 2010 Work Plan call for a Joint Action on health inequalities, and is a direct outcome of deliberations between interested member states and the European Commission on how to deliver a structured programme of work. Methods and means The project will develop a common understanding of a Health in All Policies approach,and its application at EU, MS and sub-national level. Consensus will be Page 3/12

4 developed on methodologies for conducting policy orientated HIA with an equity focus (HIAef), and Health Equity Audits (HEA). This will be achieved by reviews of current practice, identifying effective practice, and collaboratively identifying components of the tool. Countries will test an HIAef or HEA, with an HEAs being carried out at EU level. Processes for developing an effective cross-government health equity focus will be discussed. A regional network will be established which will identify through a case study approach the focus, information, resources, drivers, opportunities and barriers to regional action on HI, and access to structural funds. Recommendations will be made to inform the future drafting of structural funds. A scientific and technical advisory board will be established to review evidence, and inform scientific discussion. Stakeholder engagement will take place on two agreed themes and EU level meetings. Expected outcomes period The primary outcome will be increased engagement and mutual learning of the EU and MS on tackling socio-economic and area based inequalities in health. The JA will lead to a greater consensus on approaches which work, and knowledge and awareness of tools and methods which promote a cross government equity focus. The JA will foster greater engagement of regions in EU wide work, and in particular through the CoR. An intended outcome is to influence the drafting of the structural funds guidelines to enable them to be more effectively used to address SDH at regional level, and identify effective use of the funds for tackling HI. The JA will engage new stakeholders on a number of themes and increase knowledge of the potential levers and drivers to cross-sectoral working to meet equity standards. To the extent that MS and the EU are able to put the learning into practice, the JA will support the long-term objective of the EU communication on reducing health inequalities within and between countries, and assist in the development of action to tackle the underlying societal causes.
