1.10: Monitoring Mechanisms
Establish better mechanisms for monitoring public health capacity Other Information:
There are significant challenges associated with traditionally weak and limited public health capacity in Canada. The Agency
will continue working in partnership with stakeholders and other governments to develop strategies to address gaps in public
health capacity in order to enhance our ability to take action on major health issues and respond to potential public health
emergencies. As a first step, the Agency needs to augment its efforts to monitor the human, financial, program, policy, research
and legal dimensions of public health capacity. The establishment of better mechanisms for monitoring public health capacity
(e.g., developing benchmarks and markers of performance) will result in more effective strategies to address weaknesses and
fill the gaps.
