In March 2013, the Commission for a socially sustainable Malmö finalized its task to suggest action to reduce health inequalities with the report Malmö’s path towards a sustainable future, health, welfare and justice. The report’s findings and recommendations have had an impact in the municipal organization. The majority of the Commission’s 72 recommendations are handled within the municipal organization. Two process evaluations indicate a mind shift, where health equity and social sustainability are increasingly characterizes within the organization. Much depends on political priority and an interactive policy set up to include stakeholders in the process. There are challenges, both in respect to monitor whether health inequalities change and to evaluate effects of the efforts. Furthermore, there is a lack of a monitoring system towards goals. These challenges are now assignments decided by the executive board to explore and develop further.
