Description

To showcase NCD civil society efforts in bridging the gap on NCDs, and to coincide with the third Global NCD Alliance Forum 2020 taking place in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, the NCD Alliance has developed the ‘NCD Atlas - Bridging the Gap on NCDs through Civil Society Action: Initiatives of National and Regional NCD Alliances’ publication.

This new NCD Atlas provides updated information on NCD alliances by presenting the results of an online survey, and offering a snapshot of their current status and growth. It also assesses alliances’ views and perspectives on the enablers and barriers for governments and civil society to achieve global NCD targets, as well as their key priorities and recommendations to bridge the gap on NCDs.

To boost NCD civil society and to accelerate action on NCDs, the Atlas presents a set of recommendations to national and regional NCD alliances, international organisations, governments, and the NCD Alliance.
