“…..The UN Platform on Social Determinants of Health is an informal
mechanism to provide coordinated support to Member States with
implementation of the Rio Political Declaration on Social Determinants of
Health.

****

The Platform also advocates placing the social determinants of health
highly on the global development agenda, and fostering coherent action on
the social determinants of health. Currently, the platform involves staff
from ILO, UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF, WHO and UNAIDS.

****

This is an informal document, and does not represent the official positions
of the organizations. It aims at informing how best to consider the social
determinants of health aspects in the post-2015 global thematic
consultations organized under the United Nations Development Group. Annex 1
aims to briefly illustrate the concept of the social determinants of health
as applied to the ideas of the specific thematic groups, give some examples
of why health is important to each specific theme, and show how each theme
could contribute to health.

The descriptions are compilations from various sources, and are not
intended to be exhaustive. More specific papers will be required for more
detailed inputs…
