In 2020, the NCD Alliance (NCDA) commissioned Global Health Visions (GHV) to undertake an independent evaluation of NCDA’s efforts to achieve its aims and objectives as set out in its 2016–2020 Strategic Plan, and to provide strategic and organisational recommendations to inform NCDA’s strategic planning process for 2021–2026. This document presents the NCDA Board’s response to the GHV independent evaluation recommendations, including decisions on next steps and timelines.
Global Health Visions (GHV) was commissioned by the NCD Alliance to carry out an independent, external review of our efforts to achieve our aims and objectives as set out in its 2016–2020 Strategic Plan, and to provide strategic and organisational recommendations to inform the strategic planning process for 2021–2026. GHV’s review sought to gather diverse perspectives on the NCD Alliance’s organisational development, overall impact, most remarkable achievements, and key challenges or missed opportunities over the past five years.
The NCD Alliance is pleased to announce the launch of our 2021-2026 Strategy, which is built upon four pathways of action: advocacy and accountability, capacity development, knowledge and partnerships.
For the NCD Alliance, 2020 has been a year dominated by COVID-19, requiring us to adapt organisationally, strategically and financially to the global pandemic and the virtual way of working. NCDA successfully pivoted many of our main functions to virtual platforms, including capacity development training programmes, high-level advocacy events, and media briefings for journalists.
