NORRAG and the Global Health Centre (GHC), Graduate Institute, Geneva, are co-organising a webinar to discuss the opportunities and challenges to intersectoral research, practice and policy in education and health.
Many governments, international organisations, practitioners, and researchers express high rhetorical support for more equitable policy outcomes. It is common for policymakers to back up this equity policy rhetoric with a commitment to intersectoral action and collaboration inside and outside of government, described with terms such as holistic, joined-up, collaborative, or systems approaches to governance. At the same time, it is common for research on policymaking to highlight the ever-present and systemic obstacles to the achievement of such admirable but vague aims.
Recent reviews of equity policy and policymaking in two different sectors – health and education – highlight these obstacles in different ways. This webinar invites experts in both fields to open up the discussion with a web audience to discuss these issues.
