HiAP Activities and Associated Roles

Activities and Pertinent Participant Quotes Mechanisms
Policy entrepreneurs
The Thinker in Residence and the importance of that because at that time we were also hosting Fred Hansen’s residency … So the notion of risk taking, if you like, was there in communicating across partners… across government through the Thinkers in Residency program (Research workshop 1).
– Promote the potential and visibility of HiAP– Promote the benefits of inter-sectoral action Revitalise initiative

– Maintain HiAP on policy agenda

Intermediaries
I think the key thing that got the ball rolling was that I had a supportive mindset of the people that I worked with but I guess it’s also that trust they had in me as well, that ‘if you think this is worth pursuing we’ll give you a go, see where it goes’ (Research workshop 1).
I think there was some of the people who – it resonated with them, that there was this relationship between the work and wellbeing (Research workshop 2).
– Participate in early adoption of HiAP– ‘Champion’ HiAP– Transport and transmit HiAP ideas and practices within and across sectors

– Watch for windows of opportunity

Relationship building and maintenance
Another thing that I think was really helpful was the relationship building and by that you built credibility (Research workshop 1).
They’re in there listening. They’re looking for the alignment, they’re not in there telling ‘this is what you need to be doing’ (Research workshop 1).
– Informal and formal discussions– Persistence in relationship building– Negotiation

– Explore diversity and common ground

Dedicated HiAP unit
I don’t think any of this would have happened unless there was a dedicated unit and the resources to go with it (Research workshop 1).
It’s the competence of those that are actually trying to implement the theory … So it’s the fact it’s a dedicated resource and the nature of that resource that’s really important (Research workshop 1).
You do need somebody, or a set of people working in the space that has an in depth understanding around determinants, public health, interventions, programs, how to create change, that new public health, all of that stuff (Research workshop 2).
– Raises awareness– Mobilises stakeholders and resources– Negotiates roles, expectations– Provides leadership– ‘Shepherds’ participants– Facilitates creation of shared goals and co-benefits– Brings health expertise and skills in inter-sectoral collaboration– Watch for and use windows of opportunity

– Develops understanding of partners’ agenda and core business

Health lens analysis
They were pretty rigorous in their statistical analysis, they were thorough in their research. They were empathetic in the way that they engaged. They were good at brokering and facilitating with other groups that we needed to work with (Research workshop 1).
I think it’s important that there’s an understanding of what their policy area is in terms of its linkages to the social determinants of health and wellbeing (Research workshop 2).
– Sharing information– Identify opportunities for cooperation– Articulate links between health lens analysis focus and health outcomes– Gather evidence– Explore options

– Plan policy action

Central mandate for action
It does need that high level backing though, doesn’t it, because otherwise it ends up being the people who are converted already? (Research workshop 1).
SASP [the SA Strategic Plan] was already there and all you needed to do was put a health lens over it and you know you’re ahead of the field (Research workshop 2).
– Link HiAP work to existing policy framework and government priorities – Supports entry of Health into other sectors

– Provides legitimation for Health and partners to act

Other HiAP initiatives
Seeing the opportunity through communications that HiAP had put out … overtly stating they wanted relationships with local government and seeing the opportunity (Research workshop 1).
– Acts to promote awareness of HiAP principles and extend considerations of health and equity into other sectors– ‘Health in Planning’ initiative

– Local Government engagement

Accountability and reporting
One of the things in favour of participating in the HiAP project was the fact that it was at that point reporting up to a body that I thought would have some influence for change (Research workshop 1).
One of the other things that I think really helped us was the Eat Well Be Active Strategy and that that actually had a section at the back that said what [Department of Planning] had committed to, so that was I think a real achievement from Health’s perspective (Research workshop 1).
– Link HiAP work to existing process for other cross government initiatives– Briefing of senior management– Chief Executive approval of proposals for HLA and recommendations from HLA– Legislative requirement eg, SA Public Health Act

– Various State level health promotion and disease prevention plans
