Abstract EN
Many strategic challenges impeding the success of primary health care are rooted in weak strategic inputs, including intersectoral collaboration.
Some encouraging evidence from programmes, projects, and studies suggests that intersectoral collaboration is feasible and useful.
The strategy has the potential to fast-track the attainment of Millenium Development Goals.
However, the strategy is not commonly utilised in developing countries.
The health sector expects inputs from other sectors which may not necessarily subscribe to a shared responsibility for health improvement, whereas the public expects ‘‘health’’ from the health sector.
Yet, the health sector rarely takes on initiatives in that direction.
The sector is challenged to mobilise all stakeholders for intersectoral collaboration through advocacy and programming.
Pilot projects are advised in order to allow for cumulative experience, incremental lessons and more supportive evidence.
