Health and human settlements in Latin America

Objectif

To use the combined, existing knowledge of partners in a more concerted manner to develop proposals to design and evaluate interventions to improve the health of disadvantaged urban populations. Specifically, the concerted action aims to:

* consolidate knowledge
* build capacity
* develop proposals
* enhance the impact of research on policy
Expected Outcome

* Increased reference to urban health in strategic international public health policy documents

* Increased understandig of urban health in Latin America and South Africa

* Increased training opportunities in urban health in Latin America
The preferred approach is multisectoral with the aim of putting urban health issues on agendas that fall outside the health sector. Health is defined as physical, mental and social well-being in line with WHO's definition. The environment is equally broadly defined as incorporating physical and social aspects. The project brings together, for the first time, a wide range of urban health researchers in the North and South in order that they can co-ordinate their efforts over a three year period to maximise the effectiveness and impact of research. It focuses on urban environmental health and urban health services issues. Specific activities will involve:

* Holding two workshops
* Expanding the "Urbanisation and health" newletter (published by MRC, South Africa)
* Producing a "State of the art of urban health in Latin America"
* Carrying out exchange visits
* Carrying out project leader missions
* Producing three short reports on the activities of partner
* Mounting an urban health course in Latin America
* Producing research proposals
* Disseminating the activities of the concerted action
