Regional targets

The Regional targets are to:

• Raise the proportion of national health indicators disaggregated by sex and age and at least two other determinants (ethnicity, place of residence, and/or socioeconomic status) and available for exploratory research in each Member State
• Raise the number of social and economic indicators on conditions favourable to health disaggregated by sex, ethnicity and place of residence and other relevant dimensions (e.g. education levels, agricultural production, infrastructure, housing and employment conditions, criminal or violent events, community development, and household income) in all countries in the Region
• Ensure that policies and work plans of priority non-health sectors (e.g. agriculture, energy, education, finance, transport) incorporate health targets
• Raise the umber of health-related policies and legislation (e.g. national constitutions and health-sector strategies) that explicitly address and incorporate gender equality, human rights and equity in their design and implementation
• Encourage all national development and poverty reduction plans to set out ways in which the right to enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health without discrimination will be progressively realized (explicit responsibilities of stakeholders, targets, time frame, and budget allocation).
