"DESCRIPTION The importance of collaboration between different sectors in fulfilling the missions of health prevention and promotion, as well as in solving complex, multifactorial problems, is widely recognized in the field of public health. While intersectoral collaborations already involve well-known challenges, lack of resources is a reality that public health and its allied sectors are also often confronted with. In this case, how do you go about establishing or maintaining intersectoral partnerships in a context of limited resources? The presentations in this webinar will be based on the results of a review of the literature on the challenges, opportunities, and strategies associated with intersectoral action in the context of budgetary constraints. Following this, two presentations—one by a member of the Healthy Public Policy Unit at Vancouver Coastal Health, and another by a professional from the Direction générale de santé publique at Québec’s ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux—will share their insights on the topic of intersectoral collaboration in a context of resource constraints, as well as some practical strategies to be prioritized in such a context.
TARGET AUDIENCES This webinar is intended for public health professionals and administrators whose field of action requires collaboration with other sectors, and for their partners.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to describe:
the challenges of intersectoral collaboration in a context of limited resources;
and the opportunities and strategies associated with this type of initiative in such a context."
