Vision

A world in which everyone can live a healthy and productive life, free from preventable suffering, stigma, disability and death caused by noncommunicable diseases.

Mission

To unite NCD civil society and drive action on NCD prevention and care, leaving no one behind.

Our Values

Our work is grounded in six core values that define how we operate, advocate, and collaborate. These values reflect our commitment to people, partnerships, and progress.

We will advance the rights of all people to the highest attainable standard of health, in particular people living with NCDs. Our work, programmes and organisational practices will promote the meaningful involvement and participation of civil society and people living with NCDs.

We commit to working with people of all nationalities, backgrounds, resource settings, identities and beliefs in a culture of mutual learning, enrichment and respect. We believe that this will generate better decisions and more impactful solutions to address the complex problems of a changing world.

Our Goals

Our strategy aligns with global commitments and ambitions, including the WHO and UN targets on NCDs. These long-term outcome goals drive us forward:

Reduce by 25% premature mortality from NCDs by 2025. (WHO Global NCD Action Plan target)
Reduce by 33% premature mortality from NCDs and promote mental health and wellbeing by 2030. (UN Sustainable Development Goals Target)

Our Impact Goals

To bring meaningful change in the near term, we’ve identified four key impact goals. These are areas where our work can directly move the needle:

Strategic pathways: how we get there

Our impact goals are supported by four strategic pathways—our methods for achieving sustainable change and scaling our efforts across communities and systems.

Lead global advocacy to accelerate development, implementation and resourcing of NCD policies and programmes, and ensure accountability for commitments and results.

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.

Generate and promote evidence and best practice in NCD advocacy, policy and practice, and facilitate knowledge translation and implementation.

Catalyse multisectoral action and drive health-promoting partnerships to enable effective action and solutions on NCDs within the SDGs.
