Local governments have a pivotal role promoting population’s health. Nevertheless, there are mutiple barriers for implementing approaches such as Health in All Policies or Governance for Health, This document presents three key recommendations for advancing in this field. Two of them are based on the most frecuently identified redommendations on the literature; they include the stablishment of specific budgets and the implementation of tools for measuring political impacts on health. Authors propose a thirth one, capacity building; this one is aimed at improving local governments’ settings for stablishing the neccesary elements which allow an intersectoral health promotion, and synergys between different facilitators.
