The Intersectoral Action Fund supports projects that prioritize intersectoral policy action on the social determinants of health and community resilience in order to increase community capacity. Eligible projects integrate health, equity and wellbeing considerations into local decision-making, and promote positive change which will increase the resilience and ability of communities to adapt to climate change. Examples of eligible policy-level activities include:

– Development of a community action plan: which identifies and describes how to address community needs, such as food security
– Policy framework: development or modification to include an equity lens
– Conducting community engagement: strengthening equity and diversity considerations of a policy in development
– Establishing/strengthening partnerships amongst intersectoral partners: coordinated action to address community-level issues
