Abstract
This scoping study aimed to identify current capacity for Health Promotion and the priority education and training needs for capacity development in low and middle income countries (LAMICs). Despite a low response rate (35% comprising responses from 37 countries), the findings of the study provide a snap shot of current capacity for Health Promotion and the training and education needed to maintain and further build capacity in low and middle income countries across the IUHPE regions. The opinions of the respondents on the role which the IUHPE can play to support capacity development also provide a useful basis for future IUHPE strategies.
