Expanding Access to Care, Supporting Global, Regional and Country level NCD Action, was a 5-year NCD Alliance programme during 2013-2017, aimed at strengthening NCD civil society capacity to stimulate progress on NCD prevention and control. It focused on coalition building, multi-sectoral engagement, health systems strengthening, accountability and meaningful involvement of people living with NCDs. The programme’s in-country activities were led by CSOs that developed networks for coordinated action on NCDs – Brazil’s ACT Health Promotion, the Caribbean’s Healthy Caribbean Coalition1, the South African NCDs Alliance (SANCDA), and India’s Healthy India Alliance (HIA).
