PoHeFa

Making interventions and activities engaging and sustainable, is one of the mayor challenges for the authorities having the political and practical responsibility for health promotion towards children and young people.

The sustainability of interventions and activities highly depends on whether the interventions are developed and implemented within a larger strategic understanding and frame, and whether the interventions take into consideration the socio-economic situation of the setting in which they are going to be implemented.

This project, which is supported by the EU Public Health Programme, considers these issues, and proposes a tool box, which can assist municipalities to work more strategically with health promoting activities, at the same time as staff and citizens are involved in the development and implementation phase.

The PoHeFa project works to decrease the number of unhealthy citizens in Europe, by presenting tools which increase municipalities’ awareness and capability to develop health promoting interventions, that take the socio-economic context of the setting into consideration and therefore have a better and long lasting effect.
