National advocacy win
Bangladesh unites 35 ministries behind landmark NCD declaration
Thirty-five ministries across the Government of Bangladesh have united under a new joint Declaration on the integrated prevention and control of NCDs, making an unprecedented "health in all policies" commitment to embed health - particularly NCDs - into decision-making across every sector.
For the Bangladesh NCD Forum and its partners, the move represents both a major policy milestone and a hard-won advocacy victory, validating years of work to elevate civil society voices, strengthen accountability, and drive collective action on NCDs.
