FRESH is an inter-agency initiative for Focusing Resources on Effective School Health. It proposes a framework for designing and implementing effective school health programmes - a 'boiling down' to basics of the partner agencies' combined experience in the area of school health.

Four core components:

• School health policies;
• Water, sanitation and the environment;
• Skills-based health education;
• School-based health services.

Three supporting strategies:

• Partnerships between education and health;
• Community partnerships;
• Pupil awareness and participation.

The overall goal of FRESH is to make schools healthier for children, children more able to learn, and Education for All more likely to be achieved.
