  "text": "Developing action plans and strategies at national, regional or local level for public health capacity development. The aim is to improve the capacity of European public health systems and organisations including public health systems, civil society, NGOs and universities. The plans should target the development of public health professionals as well as the development of public health skills and knowledge of those who are not full time public health professionals but whose work would benefit from additional public health knowledge (including other health professionals, managers and administrators). They should also address the development of tools, knowledge and systems to support public health practice, including improvement of communication skills. Tasks may include networking and sharing of good practice, training programme development, information systems and public health aspects of public administration.\n[Call for proposals for projects]\nDeveloping tools, procedures, good practice and pilot work to improve interaction between public health researchers and policy development at EU level. Focus should in particular be on leadership, infra-structure and capacity in the medium and short-term perspective as well as the development of criteria and key elements. The aim is to support the defining of health policy proposals and development in view to strengthening civil society and NGOs in the field of health in particular in new Member States and central and eastern European countries.\n[Call for proposals for projects]\nOperating grants to non-governmental European networks and organisations which cover broad horizontal public health issues which are of relevance to developing the EU health agenda and with interest in overall public health policy development. The main aim is to strengthen relevant networks and organisations in order to improve and promote the participation of civil society and NGOs at European, national, regional and local level in the implementation of the health strategy.\n[Operating grants]",
