Building Capacity for Equity in Health Promotion
Health Nexus and the Health Equity Council are pleased to announce that we are partnering to build capacity for equity in health promotion in Ontario through a bilingual project entitled Building Capacity for Equity in Health Promotion. This project is funded by the Healthy Communities Fund of the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion, and runs from November 2009 to March 2011.

Project Survey - Building Capacity for Equity in Health Promotion
As part of this project, we invite you to complete a survey, whose purpose is to collect data that will inform an environmental scan and promising practice directory that will be produced as part of the project.
The survey is divided into two parts:
Part 1: Environmental scan – “who is doing what”
This scan seeks to discover who is doing what in relation to health equity for racialized communities in Ontario. This information will help inform the project, specifically the literature review, promising practice directory, and contribute to the building of a health equity network in the province.
Part 2: Promising Practice Directory
This directory will highlight promising practices related to health equity for racialized communities in Ontario. These practices will inform workshop content, case studies and other aspects of project development. A directory will be of use to organizations, groups and individuals to support integration of a health equity approach into planning in order to reduce health disparities.
The term “practice” is broadly defined to include programs and services, broader initiatives, interventions, strategies, policies, advocacy, resources, tools, reports, practices, websites, etc. We do not wish to limit the nature of items that you may submit, so that we are able to assess the range of practices available.
We encourage you to read the description fully before answering the surveys.
