  3. INTERSECTORAL ACTION FOR HEALTH PROJECT The Intersectoral Action for Health Project (IHAP) is a capacity building project focusing on developing human and institutional capacity to promote intersectoral action for health as a strategy for local development. A vital core principle of Brazil’s social development strategy is the strengthening of local capacities to promote a better life for people and their communities. This strategy is used in federal government programs of poverty reduction and social inclusion, such as the Family Health Program. Within this context, the IHAP will offer capacity building opportunities to six selected communities across the country to strengthen their competence to promote intersectoral action for health and local development.
