Over the course of 2021, we have been able to achieve some extraordinary results – many of which are documented in this report. Our sustained efforts to strengthen the capacity of NCDA members and alliances at national and regional levels, particularly in LMICs, and promote the meaningful involvement of civil society and people living with NCDs in the response is paying off. We have seen remarkable steps forward and clear evidence we are shaping the agenda globally, bolstering a civil society movement at local level, and uniting the community with our global campaigns and initiatives.

The 2020 annual report provides a snapshot of the activities and achievements of NCDA and our extensive constituency. It also includes a summary of financial statements as well as an overview of the NCD Alliance grants including the Advocacy Institute programme, the Our Views, Our Voices initiative, the Civil Society Solidarity Fund on NCDs and COVID-19, and iTFA elimination programme.

The report serves as a testament and heartfelt thank you to our community as we move ever closer towards meeting our common goal: to reduce the NCD burden for people everywhere.
