2017 has been an important year for NCDA, both as an organisation and our ability to prepare the civil society movement for the 2018 UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs. 2017 marked a new chapter for NCDA as an organisation, as we evolved from being an informal alliance to being a standalone NGO registered in Switzerland. The annual report provides a snapshot of the activities and achievements of NCDA and our extensive constituency. It also includes a summary of financial statements. The report serves as a testament and heartfelt thank you to our community as we move ever closer towards meeting our common goal: to reduce the NCD burden for people everywhere.

A better nourished world is a better world. Yet the 2017 Global Nutrition Report shows that, despite the significant steps the world has taken towards improving nutrition in all its forms and associated health burdens over recent decades, nutrition is still a large-scale and universal problem nutrition is. Too many people are being left behind from the benefits of improved nutrition. Yet when we look at the wider context, the opportunity for change has never been greater. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by 193 countries in 2015, offer a tremendous window of opportunity to reverse or stop these trends.

The 2017 Global Nutrition Report finds "significant burdens" of three forms of malnutrition in 140 countries.
