Abstract
This synthesis report aims to support overall consolidated team learning and contribute to the Ecohealth Forum in Mexico (2008). As such it provides a review of four outcome areas, by means of analysis of eight selected Ecohealth projects that have been implemented. Outcome areas are: i) improved holistic knowledge on the links between environment and human health, ii) effective multi-sector interventions and informed policy making and implementation for improved health and well being outcomes, iii) capacity development, and iv) knowledge sharing and networking. Addressing the resultant effects of health and environment linkages in most instances requires integrated policy responses and institutional support.
