A scoping review of current trends of multisectoral collaborations for health within the education, agriculture, and environment sectors in Anglophone Africa

In Anglophone Africa, addressing the double disease burden of disease requires coordinated action across both the health and non-health sectors. Despite the existence of policies advocating multisectoral collaborations, implementation remains limited and inconsistent across the continent. This scoping review explored multisectoral collaboration for health in the education, agriculture and environment sectors in Anglophone Africa in order to understand the existence and effectiveness of policies and activities within these sectors. It was found that whilst evidence exists of policies supporting multisectoral collaboration for health, translating policy into practice remains challenging. Strengthening governance and promoting evidence informed planning are critical to make the mainstreaming of health successful in contributing to the prevention and control of communicable and non-communicable diseases.
