The Jakarta Declaration resulted from the World Health Organisation’s Fourth International Conference on Health Promotion. It offers a vision and focus for health promotion into the 21st century. The declaration reaffirms the Ottawa Charter, the importance of health promotion and the five action areas set out in the Charter as being essential for success. It also noted that comprehensive approaches that use combinations of the five action areas are more effective.

The Jakarta Declaration:

recognises that there are new challenges in relation to addressing the determinants with poverty posing the greatest threat to health
recognises the importance of particular settings such as schools, workplaces and cities for health promotion
stresses the need for new responses such as the creation of new partnerships for health to address the emerging threats to health.

The five priorities for health promotion in the 21st century include:

promoting a social responsibility for health
increasing investments for health development
consolidating and expanding partnerships for health
increasing community capacity and empowering the individual
securing an infrastructure for health promotion.

Participants in this conference were all committed to sharing the messages of the Jakarta Declaration with their governments, institutions and communities, and putting the proposed actions into practice.

yeah I'm under the impression that the Jakarta dec is a more indepth version of the Ottowa charta.
Jakarta is more direct where as ottowa allows for some variation.

In recent years, has the trend shown any evidence for the jakarta declaration in the exam ?

It's pretty certain that the Ottawa Charter will be in there, whether multiple choice or applying it to a CVD, any clues, because it is a fair chunk of my memory:D
