The Global Week for Action is less than a week away and momentum is building. The campaign unites the NCD movement every September, concentrating on combined efforts with the aim of reducing the NCD burden globally and increasing health and equality. The campaign calls on everyone to take action and to drive change!
From 2020-2024, each year will focus on a specific theme. This year's theme is accountability. This means taking actions that monitor the commitments made by governments, policy makers, industries, academia, and civil society to see that they become a reality. In 2020, the Global Week for Action will also highlight the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the need for action on NCDs to Build Back Better.
You can now access many campaign assets including the campaign logo (available in 6 languages). Make a statement and post a social media banner of your choice with many interactive tools available for Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. Our social media toolkit will help you leverage the power of social media, calling on everyone, everywhere to #ActOnNCDs. Why not add our #ActOnNCDs gifs and social media frames?
Everyone is affected by NCDs in some way, be it living with an NCD, caring for someone with an NCD, or being at risk of an NCD. Your voice matters as we collectively call on governments to step up with meaningful action to reduce preventable suffering, death and disability from NCDs. Create your Voice of Change card using the interactive card generator through the campaign website. Anyone can be a Voice of Change!
Energised by the new visual and graphic identity of the Global Week for Action on NCDs, NCDA has launched a challenge encouraging physical activity during the campaign! The GPS Drawing Challenge encourages NCD community members to use the GPS function of their mobile phone to write a message they want to communicate for the Global Week for Action on NCDs on a map.
