Actors wishing to initiate or sustain intersectoral action are sometimes confronted with an important issue, in addition to the usual challenges of collaboration, namely budget cuts. Intersectoral action for health and equity depends on adequate and stable funding as well as strong support from public authorities. Budget cuts, whether caused by economic or political conditions, create challenges for this type of action. This document aims to inform public health actors and others interested in intersectoral activities for health and equity in the context of budget cuts about the challenges that await them, the opportunities to be seized, and the strategies to be considered.
