GEGA (The Global Equity Gauge Alliance) has produced a booklet: The Equity Gauge: Concepts, Principles, and Guidelines

Available online as PDf file [34p.] at: http://www.gega.org.za/download/gega_gauge.pdf

 

This booklet provides an overview of the Equity Gauge Strategy. The Strategy supports policy and action for health equity using a three-pronged approach of Assessment & Monitoring, Advocacy, and Community Empowerment. The document shows how the Strategy can be used to develop a comprehensive plan for identifiying priorities, produce empirical information on health inequities, relate health to socioeconomic and political environments, work with policy makers, and support the involvement of communities to promote health equity.

The booklet and further information on GEGA are available on-line at www.gega.org.za, and the GEGA Secretariat can be contacted by email at secretariat@gega.org.za.
