Global Week for Action On NCDs – 15 to 22 October 2024
The Global Week for Action on NCDs aims to unite the NCD movement each year under a specific theme, concentrating our combined efforts with the aim of reducing the NCD burden globally and increasing health and equality. Join our 2024-2025 campaign!
The week is centred on the theme of leadership. This theme underscores the urgent need for global leaders to take bold action in addressing the burden of NCDs. The campaign is joined by advocates and supporters from all sectors of society every year to help amplify the message that we can create a fairer and healthier world by implementing evidence-based solutions for tackling NCDs.
The campaign is calling on leaders to:
- ACCELERATE IMPLEMENTATION: It’s time for governments to spark change. Fast-tracking national implementation of NCD policy recommendations will drive progress towards universal health and well-being, ensuring no one is left behind. It’s time to lead.
- BREAK DOWN SILOES: Together, we can break down the siloes that discourage cooperation to advance global health and development priorities to achieve stronger outcomes that surpass traditional boundaries. Leaders can achieve more through integrated action.
- MOBILISE INVESTMENT: Unleash vital funding for NCD prevention and care to align resources with the magnitude of the challenge. World leaders can trigger impactful investment for healthier societies.
- DELIVER ACCOUNTABILITY: Keep tabs, measure progress, and honour commitments to NCD prevention and care for the long haul. It’s about leaders staying true to their promises, holding themselves accountable, and delivering on commitments to better health for all.
- ENGAGE COMMUNITIES: Activate community leadership and put people living with NCDs at the heart of a collaborative response from the global NCD community.
