In 1984, in Toronto, the Healthy Cities idea was coined, soon adopted by the World Health Organization to launch, in 1986, a major international initiative. Since then, over 10, 000 municipalities worldwide have jumped in, including small rural villages, which led the movement to be called Healthy Communities in Canada. Four action principles at the core of the movement can influence the fight against poverty in rural areas: intersectorality, participation, empowerment, and municipal commitment. This article describes a collective case study involving four rural municipalities that are members of the Québec Network of Healthy Communities. This qualitative study paid detailed attention to understand how these initiatives embraced fighting poverty. Five factors to be considered emerged if rural municipalities in the Healthy Communities networks and beyond them want to address poverty concretely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
