Naider is assisting the Basque Government’s Directorate of Public Health and Addiction in the process of designing and organising the Basque Health and Environment Observatory.

This work is divided into two phases: a first phase of situation diagnosis, which will provide the basis for the development of the Observatory; and a second phase of design and organisation, which will define the mission and objectives of the Observatory, as well as its functions, content, information sources, management, governance and evaluation models, among others.

The process will involve a group of health and environment experts who will contribute to defining the strategic lines and functionalities of the Observatory.

The need to create a Basque Health and Environment Observatory stems from two strategic reference instruments of the Basque Autonomous Community in terms of health and environment policies: the Basque Health Plan 2030 and the Environmental Framework Programme 2030. The creation of this Observatory will allow a better understanding of the environmental impact on health and will facilitate decision-making and the implementation of effective policies to improve the quality of life of the population of the Basque Country.
