This introductory guide aims to spotlight relevant technical packages and frameworks and unpack WHO’s Best Buys and other recommended interventions on NCD prevention, exploring what they entail and how civil society can leverage these in their advocacy efforts.
The NCD Alliance’s vision, mission and organisational structure propels and obliges the organisation to engage and partner with a wide range of people and organisations who share its goals - including member organisations, international agencies, governments, NGOs, academia, foundations, relevant private sector entities, and the general public. It is NCDA’s belief that making prevention and control of NCDs a priority on a global scale demands a whole of society response, with engagement from a range of relevant sectors and organisation.
This practical guide aims to provide NCD civil society with an understanding of the steps to plan and conduct successful advocacy campaigns, leveraging examples from NCD Alliance’s global network of national and regional NCD alliances.
The Global Charter on Meaningful Involvement of People living with NCDs rallies all actors such as governments, international institutions, civil society and the private sector to put people at the centre and leave no one behind.
This question and answers document aims to give a brief summary of the linkages between COVID-19 and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). It is not a comprehensive review. For more information, please visit NCDA’s resources page, and our page of calls to action from the NCD civil society movement in response to this new pandemic.
Each card in this set briefly focuses on one of the five gaps identified as priority areas of action for civil society to help to bridge the gap on NCDs: Leadership, Accountability, Investment, Care, and Community Engagement. Each card introduces the NCD Civil Society Compass for Bridging the Gap on NCDs, provides an overview of what the gap is about, and proposes actions for civil society to consider taking in order to accelerate progress ahead of 2025 target deadlines. Civil Society advocates can use them separately or as a set to support planning, coordination and advocacy.
