Dear Sir,
Nomination of national focal points for behavioural and cultural insights
The European Programme of Work, 2020–2025 – “United Action for Better Health in Europe”,
adopted by all WHO European Member States, identifies behavioural and cultural insights (BCI) as a
flagship initiative priority. A new BCI unit has been established at the WHO Regional Office for
Europe, and a regional BCI framework will now be developed in close collaboration with Member
States, for presentation at the 72nd session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe in September
2022.
I am happy to invite you to nominate, for your country, a focal point for behavioural and cultural
insights for health. Please nominate a senior staff member who works with the behavioural or cultural
aspects of health. This may be someone working within social science or the medical humanities or
with experience in population studies, behavioural insights and related work.
The national BCI focal point will be invited to (online) meetings related to the development of the
regional BCI framework and will be invited to review framework drafts. They may also wish to
engage in a working group for more active involvement in the development of the framework. Over
the coming years, the national BCI focal point will also be invited to engage in BCI flagship meetings
and initiatives. We expect that this will become a community of practice that allows for the sharing of
experiences between countries. The working languages will be English and Russian.
I look forward to receiving your nomination, with the name, functional title and email address of your
proposed national BCI focal point, at your earliest convenience and before 9 August 2021. We will
then communicate with them directly. Ms Katrine Bach Habersaat is responsible for this activity, and
we kindly ask that you address any queries and your reply to her (email:
[email protected]).
Yours very truly,
Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge
