Building high impact partnerships for health, equity and sustainable development

Objective:
One major aim of the healthy³ initiative is to initiate joint actions building on strategic partnerships between key players in the fields of health promotion and sustainable development. The long-term impact of the initiative depends on action-oriented projects, their institutional setup is crucial. After more than a decade of public private partnerships it is time to share experiences and lessons learned, and to derive rules for developing and running high impact public-private-partnerships (PPP) in health promotion and sustainable development - as a basis of new activities to be initiated by healthy³ and/or IUHPE, WHO and other key players in health promotion, public health and sustainable development both at international level and within countries. 

Key questions:

1. What are the lessons learned from intersectoral partnerships – particularly those involving also the for profit sector? How can we make it work in today’s context? (success factors, obstacles, challenges)
2. How can we overcome the challenges of such partnerships that include the for profit sector? Which challenges are intrinsic and have to be dealt with constructively in any intersectoral or public-private partnership, which challenges have to be avoided? How can this be done?
3. Which relevant, ethics and knowledge based guidelines or rules exist? What guidelines or rules are missing and how could they be developed?
