Abstract:

The Brazilian National Health Promotion Policy (PNPS, for its acronym in Portuguese), institutionalized in the Unified Health System in 2006 and revised in 2014, resulted from the contribution of various groups, among then the Center for the Studies, Re-search and Documentation on Healthy Cities (CEPEDOC), a non-governmental organi-zation linked to the School of Public Health of the University of Sao Paulo, and current-ly designated as WHO Collaborating Center. This collaboration took place since before the institutionalization of the Policy through the participation in the development of the practical and theoretical basis that justified the policy´s existence and the mobilization and advocacy for its creation. This article aims to demonstrate the independent partici-pation of CEPEDOC, as an NGO, in the construction of the PNPS´objectives through its projects, scientific production, participation in events and mobilization that contrib-uted to the development of the PNPS as a key policy and practice for the social produc-tion of health with equity.
