Gesundheitliche Chancengleichheit

The Kooperationsverbund Gesundheitliche Chancengleichheit is a Germany-wide network working to improve health equity and strengthen health promotion for people facing challenging social circumstances. Its members include public authorities, health and welfare organizations, professional associations, and other institutions. The network supports cooperation and knowledge-sharing among these partners, with a particular focus on local action and the social conditions that shape health, such as housing, education, participation, and access to support.

Its online portal provides research, practical guidance, and resources for professionals and communities. Offerings include a nationwide database of health promotion and prevention programs, examples and criteria for good practice, publications, work aids, and information on topics such as child and youth health, older people, migration, employment, and healthy urban development. The consortium also supports the “Health for All” municipal partner process, where participating communities exchange experience and develop integrated local health strategies. Regional Coordination Centres for Health Equity help support this work in Germany’s federal states. The portal shares current news, events, and opportunities for professional exchange.
