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.
