Depending on the changes in epidemiological, demographic and socio-economical characteristics in the country and their impact on health, planning of health education and health promotion activities need to change accordingly

Co-creating with public is essential when communicating to empower and mobilize public to take control over their health and health determinants. The HPB PEN group was established to fulfill this need. Co-designing the logo and tagline of the Comprehensive Sexuality Education Program, selecting and prioritizing desired child and caregiver behavior outcomes of the Social & Behavioural Change Program for Child Health Promotion, developing the mid-day meal ideas for the preschool mid-day meals were the main areas of action HPB PEN group involved with the technical teams of HPB in co-creating.

Development of the Health Education & Health Promotion Guide

The targets of HPB are achieved through the activities carried out in the districts and MOH area level. Therefore it is important to provide national level guidance for the implementation level to carry out the necessary functions in a uniform manner, while having the liberty to customize according to local needs. The guideline on achieving national targets and key performance indicators in health education and health promotion, Sri Lanka (2023-2030) is developed and disseminated to all relevant key health officials.

The Health Education Officers attached to the Provincial and Regional Directors of Health Offices are one of the key focal points in implementing HE & HP functions in respective levels. The HEOO are administratively and technically guided by the PDHS, RDHS and CCP in either provinces or districts respectively.
