Partnership for health promotion:
A partnership for health promotion is a voluntary agreement between two or more partners to work cooperatively towards a set of shared health outcomes.
Reference: new definition
Such partnerships may form a part of intersectoral collaboration for health, or be based on alliances for health promotion. Such partnerships may be limited by the pursuit of a clearly defined goal – such as the successful development and introduction of legislation; or may be on-going, covering a broad range of issues and initiatives. Increasingly health promotion is exploring partnerships between the public sector, civil society and the private sector.
