Proposed Makassar Healthy City actions

How might we	Proposed coherent action summary
Sustaining municipal support for the goal of a healthy Makassar
Foster meaningful accountability, increase communication and coordination, and make policy decisions and processes more transparent and participatory?	The purpose of this action is to foster meaningful dialogue, increase communication and coordination, and make policy decisions and processes more transparent and participatory to sustain a whole-city health Makassar effort. This would happen by using information and communications technology to increase transparency in the Musrenbang process and engaging city officials in the RT/RW (sub-district or kelurahan) or neighborhood levels. This would create not only a comprehensive approach to building healthier communities but also opportunities to strengthen community participation.
Sustain a whole-city healthy Makassar effort?
Leading the way on a circular economy
Address waste removal more effectively, even as our population grows?	The purpose of this activity is to create a new waste management economy. This would happen by engaging the private sector, nongovernmental organizations, and communities affected by poor waste management and its health effects to carry out innovations in waste reduction in a revenue generating way. This model realizes that environmental management is not just the responsibility of the government.
Creating a culture of data for health
Make it easier to use data to support health in Makassar?	The purpose of this activity is to improve the timeliness and usability of data across sectors relating to urban health. This would include building the capacity of health workers and government officials, and using existing technology and resources such as DHIS-2 and the war room. This would create a trained staff, improve data management, reduce the manual process of data entry, and promote data utilization across sectors.
Encourage and build the capacity of health care workers and government staff to collect, manage, and use data?
Strengthen the existing data systems?
Creating a more water-resilient city
Keep producing enough clean water for a growing population even while waste and flood waters keep rising?	The purpose of this activity is to create resiliency to rising flood and waste water in a sustainable manner. This would happen by engaging multi-sector stakeholder partnerships including government, nongovernmental organizations, private sector, and those communities most at risk of flooding. This would create a safe, healthy, and livable environment for all sections of society.
Unclog waterways and drains while also addressing the need for more job opportunities in informal settlements?
Growing a healthier next generation of citizens
Create a city that promotes heathier children?	The purpose of this action is to build Makassar into a child friendly city by keeping the focus on health and living environments of children through a bottom-up approach, active community participation, and multi-sector engagement. This would reduce inequities from birth, increase women's ability to participate in the workforce, and lower health care costs in the long term.
Ensure access to healthy food for every Makassarese?
Ensure awareness about healthy food and hygiene among food handlers and citizens?
Encourage children to adopt health promoting behaviors?
Encouraging healthy lifestyles for noncommunicable disease prevention
Reduce the risk of noncommunicable diseases within communities while also greening our living spaces?	The purpose of this action is to improve healthy lifestyles to reduce noncommunicable disease. This would happen by strengthening community-based intervention for noncommunicable disease prevention. This model will encourage community-based intervention by optimizing operational incentives and strengthening healthy ecosystems.
