This August, 4 Programme alliances from Ghana, India, Mexico, and the Philippines benefited from the 2022 virtual training of the Advocacy Institute’s NCD Prevention Accelerator Programme. After the training, 94% of the participants felt confident about their knowledge of the global and regional NCD prevention landscape and opportunities for advocacy. “I have gained significant insights that would be relevant in our work here with NCDs in the communities” commented a participant from the Healthy Philippines Alliance. 

 If you would like to join the Our Views, Our Voices Eastern Mediterranean region meeting, NCDA members are invited to nominate up to 4 representatives, including people living with NCDs, here. This meeting will take place on Wednesday 23 June 2021 and is co-hosted by the Eastern Mediterranean NCD Alliance. 

NCDA will co-host with the Healthy Latin American Coalition (CLAS) and Mexico Salud-Hable an Our Views, Our Voices Pan American regional meeting to explore opportunities and barriers related to meaningful involvement of people living with NCDs, alongside strategies and support needed to implement meaningful involvement in organisational practices.
