| The Policy and International Health Directorate informs, advocates and mobilises to optimise policy and practice to improve and protect health and well-being and reduce health inequalities in Wales and beyond. Working across the organisation and with our partners, we help ensure Public Health Wales is at the forefront of leadership and advocacy, evidence for action, as well as providing direct public health support for stakeholders to improve the effectiveness and quality of public health activities across Wales and further afield. We support staff and the wider public health system to gain the knowledge, understanding and skills through capability and capacity building, and use the opportunities available to apply the most up-to-date evidence and best practices in order to inform decision making. We aim to ensure that local, national and international learning from policies, research and practices are brought together to support the broader organisation and our partners in Wales. The Policy and International Health Directorate was designated as a World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre on ‘Investment for Health and Well-being’ in March 2018, and was re-designated for a further 4 years in March 2022. Over a 4-year programme of work, the WHO Collaborating Centre will develop, collect and share information and tools on how best to invest in better health, reduce inequalities, build stronger communities and resilient systems in Wales, Europe and worldwide. The WHO Collaborating Centre will inform and promote more sustainable policies, embrace the principles of human rights, equity and evidence based interventions; and help address the health and well-being needs of current and future generations.
