    health promotion
    Promote social responsibility for health
    Both the public and private sectors should promote
    health by pursuing policies and practices that:
     avoid harming the health of individuals
     protect the environment and ensure sustainable

    use of resources.
     restrict production of and trade in inherently

    harmful goods and substances such as tobacco.


     safeguard both the citizen in the marketplace and

    the individual in the workplace.


     Include equity-focused health impact

    assessments as an integral part of policy


    development.
    Increase investments for health development
     In many countries, current investment in health is
    inadequate and often ineffective. Increasing
    investment for health development requires a truly
    multi-sectoral approach. for example, additional
    resources for education and housing as well as for the
    health sector.
     Investments for health should reflect the needs of

    particular groups such as women, children, older


    people, and indigenous, poor and marginalized
    populations.
    Consolidate and expand partnerships for health
     Health promotion requires partnerships for health
    and social development between the different
    sectors at all levels of governance and society.
    Existing partnerships need to be strengthened and
    the potential for new partnerships must be
    explored.

     Partnerships offer mutual benefit for health


    through the sharing of expertise, skills and
    resources. Each partnership must be transparent
    and accountable and be based on agreed ethical
    principles, mutual understanding and respect. WHO
    guidelines should be adhered to.
    Increase community capacity and empower the individual

     Health promotion is carried out by and with people,


    not on or to people.
     Improving the capacity of communities for health
    promotion requires practical education, leadership
    training, and access to resources.
     Both traditional communication and the new
    information media support this process. Social,
    cultural and spiritual resources need to be
    harnessed in innovative ways.
    Secure an infrastructure for health promotion

     To secure an infrastructure for health


    promotion, new mechanisms for funding it
    locally, nationally and globally must be found.
    Incentives should be developed to influence the
    actions of governments, nongovernmental
    organizations, educational institutions and the
    private sector to make sure that resource
    mobilization for health promotion is maximized.
     All countries should develop the appropriate

    political, legal, educational, social and economic


    environments required to support health
    promotion.
    4.Call for action
    In order to speed progress towards global health
    promotion, the participants endorse the formation
    of a global health promotion alliance.

    Priorities for the alliance include:


     Raising awareness of the changing determinants of
    health.
     Supporting the development of collaboration and
    networks for health development.
     Mobilizing resources for health promotion.
     Accumulating knowledge on best practice.
     Enabling shared learning.
     Promoting solidarity in action.
     Fostering transparency & public accountability in
    health promotion.
    The declaration recognizes that:
    1. Participation is necessary for change.
    2. Health literacy is essential for participation -
    emphasizes the need for access to education and
    information and hence, the empowerment of
    individuals and communities.
    3. Combinations of five strategies for health promotion
    -build healthy public policy, create supportive
    environments, strengthen community action, develop
    personal skills, and reorient health services, are more
    effective than "single-track approaches".
