Overarching aim: To co-create partnerships with minoritized and marginalised communities and use deep participatory methods to generate new knowledge based on their lived experience of structural determinants of health inequalities and mobilise this knowledge to inform action and shape public health policy and practice.

(i) Co-development of principles, structures and processes.
Through discussion we will explore existing and new networks to identify groups in the three Knowledge Partnership communities with strongest potential to form Knowledge Hubs in Phase2. Through co-development exercises we will gain consensus on the principles, structures and processes of these ‘Hubs’. We will also determine appropriate modes of involvement of public health practitioners and local agencies, albeit proceeding cautiously because of the low levels of trust and poor past experiences that community members may have had local professionals and agencies.

(ii) Prioritisation and design of Phase 2
We will use participatory knowledge synthesis methods and priority setting exercises to identify the groups/topic areas to be developed as Knowledge Hubs during phase 2. The number of hubs will be decided as the scale of work becomes clearer. We will then co-design Phase 2 projects.
