TWO TYPES OF EVIDENCE
1. Related to the Five 'Action Areas' of the Rio Political Declaration on
SDH, and which focuses on how to put in pace processes to address the
causes - for example, structural conditions - and consequences of ill-
health
2. Related to themes (originally known as 'Knowledge netwoorks'), such
as early child development, health systems, urbanization, and others.
EVIDENCE ON THEMES
EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS
- Measures to clarify how different types of jpbs and the
threat of unemployment affect worker's health

particular groups of people from engaging fully in

reduce gender-based inequities in health by examining
different areas.
WOMEN AND GENDER EQUITY
- Factors affecting social stratification and how to improve
women's status relative to men
- Differential exposures to health-damaging factors
- Differential vulnerabilities leading to inequitable health
outcomes
- Differential economical and social consequences of illness
and reproductive health needs
- Engendering health systems and health research
EARLY CHILD DEVELOPMENT
- Well established evidence illustrates that opportunities
provided to young children are crucial in shaping lifelong
health and development status
GLOBALIZATION
- How globalization's dynamics and processes affect health
outcomes: trade liberalization, integration of production of
goods.
HEALTH SYSTEMS
- Innovative approaches that effectively incorporateaction on
social dterminants of health.
MEASUREMENT AND EVIDENCE
- The development of methodologies and tools for measuring
the causes, pathways and health outcomes of policy
interventions
URBANIZATION
- Broad policy interventions related to healthy urbanization,
including close examination of slum upgrading.

UN PLATFORM ON SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH
- Those activities which will be done by one lead agency and
for which funding has been made available, but where other
UN agencies are invited to give input;
- Those activities which are already in the work plan of the
lead. Agency, but would benefit from a collaboration with
other UN agency; and
- Those activities which are not in the work plan of any

CONCLUSION/SUMMARY
- There are already
well laid plans to
promote health in

all that's left to do is
to have leaders who
will commit into
implementing these
plans in their local
government units.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
