This joint Advocacy Institute and Our Views, Our Voices training on community-led monitoring (CLM) was delivered by NCD Alliance to increase knowledge and awareness of CLM, its processes and practices and how it can be applied in the context of NCDs to strengthen both NCD services and prevention.
CLM is a community-driven, grassroots accountability mechanism used by affected communities to assess the accessibility and quality of health services. Given that CLM is an emerging area of interest and an underdeveloped tool for improving NCD services, NCDA has developed this introductory guide to present the principles, elements and processes of CLM, as they relate to NCDs.
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.
