| 2. Start Date: 1999- 2000 |
3. End Date: Ongoing |
|||
| 4. Description: Contributions to persons and agencies to support health promotion projects in the areas of community health, resource development, training/skill development and research. |
||||
| 5. Strategic Outcomes Healthier population by promoting health and preventing disease and injury. |
||||
| 6. Expected Results The PPH logic model identifies outputs flowing from three activities: delivery management, management of environment, and program leadership. Outputs derived from these activities are: completed projects that build community knowledge, build community models and increase community partnerships; program knowledge products for the promotion of population health. These outputs result in three immediate outcomes: increase in use of community-generated knowledge for program and policy development on the determinants of health; increased application of community-based models to act on the determinants of health; and supportive environments for collaboration on the determinants of health. Immediate outcomes lead to to two intermediate outcomes: improved practices for program development and enhanced policy influence to support the population health approach. The final outcome is positive changes to community capacity to take action on the determinants of health for the population. |

3. End Date: Ongoing |
|||
| 4. Description: As a key health information service, the Canadian Health Network (CHN) and its network of networks supports the Agency's work in helping to build healthy communities. It is a health promotion program with the mission to promote healthy choices and it does so by communicating trustworthy information on health promotion and disease and injury prevention through a network of expert organization. |
||||
| 5. Strategic Outcomes Healthier population by promoting health and preventing disease and injury. |
||||
| 6. Expected Results The CHN is a key health information and promotion tool for PHAC. By providing valuable information to Canadians, the CHN helps to promote healthy choices; address risk factors (i.e. physical inactivity and nutrition) and to cover the four chronic diseases (Cancer, Diabetes, Respiratory Disease, Cardiovascular Disease) that cause premature death and poor quality of life. Through the CHN, Canadians are able to (1) access and learn from critical information about chronic disease prevention and intervention (2) improve quality of life and (3) reduce incidence of chronic disease and injury by making a healthy choice. |

Ongoing monitoring will be focused on key performance information (i.e. reach to targeted population). Implementation review examines the implementation progress during the first few years of the strategy. The functional component evaluation will focus on progress towards individual and societal level outcomes (i.e. relevance, cost effectiveness, alternatives) and outcome evaluation will provide a summary of evaluative information for the programs. |

Description: The Federal Initiative to Address HIV/AIDS in Canada is the Government of Canada's response to HIV/AIDS in Canada. The initiative will strengthen domestic action on HIV/AIDS, build a co-ordinated Government of Canada approach, and support global health responses to HIV/AIDS. It will focus on prevention and access to diagnosis, care, treatment and support for those populations most affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Canada - people living with HIV/AIDS, gay men, Aboriginal people, people who use injection drugs, inmates, youth, women, and people from countries where HIV is endemic. The Federal Initiative will also support new and strengthened multisectoral partnerships to address the determinants of health and co-infections which increase the susceptibility to acquiring HIV (for example, other sexually transmitted infections), and infectious diseases (for example, hepatitis C and tuberculosis) which increase disease progression and morbidity in people living with HIV/AIDS. Gender-based analysis and human rights are fundamental to the approach. People living with and vulnerable to HIV/AIDS will be active partners in shaping policies and practices affecting their lives. |

Governance Structures: The Public Health Agency of Canada (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/new-eng.html) is the federal lead for issues related to HIV/AIDS in Canada. The Public Health Agency is responsible for overall coordination, communications, national/regional programs, policy development, surveillance and laboratory science. Health Canada (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/english/index.html) supports community-based HIV/AIDS education, capacity-building, and prevention for First Nations on-reserve and Inuit communities; provides leadership on international health policy and program issues; and assistance and guidance on evaluation. As the Government of Canada's agency for health research, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/193.html) sets priorities for and administers the extramural research program. Correctional Service Canada, (http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/text/home_e.shtml) which is an agency of the Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada (http://www.psepc.gc.ca/about/related_links-eng.asp), provides health services, including services related to the prevention, care and treatment of HIV/AIDS, to offenders sentenced to imprisonment for two years or more. An interdepartmental coordinating committee will be established by the Public Health Agency to promote policy and program coherence among the participating departments and agencies, and to maximize the use of available resources. Health Canada's International Affairs Directorate coordinates global engagement activities and provides the secretariat for the Consultative Group on Global HIV/AIDS and the Interdepartmental Forum on Global HIV/AIDS Issues. The Consultative Group on Global HIV/AIDS Issues acts as a forum for dialogue between government and civil society on Canada's response to the global epidemic, and includes the provision of advice on the global HIV/AIDS epidemic; and of guidance and suggestions regarding collaboration and policy coherence to ensure a more effective response. The Interdepartmental Forum on Global HIV/AIDS Issues meets quarterly to discuss on-going issues and to provide overall coordination and coherence in the federal government's approach. Participating departments and agencies include PHAC, Health Canada, CIDA, Foreign Affairs Canada, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Other government departments are invited to attend on an as-needed basis. The Ministerial Council on HIV/AIDS (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/aids-sida/hiv_aids/ federal_initiative/ministerial/index.html) provides independent advice to the Minister of Health on pan-Canadian aspects of HIV/AIDS. The Federal/ Provincial/ Territorial Advisory Committee on AIDS (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/ aids-sida/hiv_aids/fpt_advis_comm_aids.html) serves as a forum to promote a coordinated governmental response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The National Aboriginal Council on HIV/AIDS (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/aids-sida/hiv_aids/federal_initiative/aboriginal/communique.html) provides advice to the Public Health Agency of Canada and Health Canada on issues relating to HIV/AIDS and Aboriginal populations. The Federal/Provincial/Territorial (FPT) Heads of Corrections Working Group on Health is a sub-committee of the FPT Heads of Corrections. The Working Group on Health promotes policy and program development that is informed and sensitive to the complex issues surrounding the health of inmates, and provides advice to the FPT Heads of Corrections on trends and best practices as they relate to health in a correctional setting. |
||||
| Other federal departments have mandates to address broader social determinants that affect people living with HIV/AIDS or their vulnerability to acquiring the infection, as well as to address the global epidemic. A new Government of Canada Assistant Deputy Ministers' Committee on HIV/AIDS has been struck to establish appropriate links and assist with the development of a broader Government of Canada approach to HIV/AIDS. | ||||
