About this ebook
The systematic integration of behavioural sciences is essential to advancing global public health, accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, and supporting the implementation of WHO’s General Programme of Work and associated strategic objectives. Behavioural approaches strengthen the effectiveness, equity and sustainability of health policies and programmes by improving understanding of the factors that influence health‐related decision‐making and action.
In recognition of this, World Health Assembly resolution WHA76.7 (2023) calls upon WHO and Member States to strengthen and institutionalize the use of behavioural sciences across health systems and public health practice.
The monitoring framework and indicators provide a structured approach to capturing progress in the mainstreaming of behavioural sciences within institutions responsible for public health. The 12 RECAPPS indicators enable the systematic assessment of organisational capacity, governance, resources and processes required to embed behavioural approaches sustainably.
