This NCD Alliance report on the Civil Society Solidarity Fund on NCDs and COVID-19 is based on the efforts of the 20 NCD alliances that were recipients of the fund in 2020.

 

Thank you to all the alliance representatives who responded to the online evaluation and shared information for the activity cases showcased in this report. We thank the Solidarity Fund Selection Committee members whose support allowed the final selection of the fund recipients: Dr Svetlana Akselrod, Director of the Global Coordination Mechanism on NCDs at the WHO; Diana Vaca McGhie, Director of Global Advocacy at the American Heart Association; Cajsa Lindberg, advocate living with NCDs and member of the Our Views, Our Voices Advisory Committee; and Dr Hoseah Waweru, President of the International Federation of Psoriasis Associations.

 

This report was conceptualised, managed and edited by NCD Alliance’s Luis Manuel Encarnacion, Cristina Parsons Perez and Katie Dain. Manoela Baltar da Silva Castro (an external consultant) supported the administration of the Solidarity Fund, analysed the survey data, developed the activity cases and wrote the report. Editorial coordination was handled by Jimena Márquez and graphic design and production was done by Mar Nieto.

 

The NCD Alliance’s Civil Society Solidarity Fund on NCDs and COVID-19 has been made possible thanks to the generous financial contributions of NCD Alliance’s supporters: Access Accelerated, AstraZeneca, The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, Takeda and Upjohn Pfizer (now Viatris).
