The Award Committee of the Alliance for Healthy Cities calls for applications for the AFHC Awards for Healthy Cities 2026. The deadline for submission is July 10, 2026. Please see the details of the calls in two categories.
Award for Progress of Healthy Cities
A healthy city is continually creating and improving those physical and social environments and expanding those community resources which enable people to support each other in performing all the functions of life and maximise their potential as a socio-ecological model of health improvement. The measurement of health status should also go beyond mortality and morbidity and address well-being and quality of life, and also the determinants of health.
AFHC members will be awarded on the basis of their applications. According to evaluation of the process and also impact, one of the following four Awards will be given:
- Award for Healthy City with Good Infra-structure
- Award for Healthy City with Good Dynamic
- Award for Healthy City with Strong Action
- Award for Healthy City Expert
