WORKSHOP 3
Knowing When to Partner - Accelerating national responses for NCD prevention and control
Wednesday, 3 October 2018 | 9.00-11.00 | Kursaal C
Organised by WHO, EU-HEM & EHFG
NCDs are now firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Numeroushigh-level events and reports on the prevention and control of NCDs have raised political awareness and stressed the importance of policy coherence and multistakeholder action to tackle NCDs as a development challenge. However, they did not result in immediate resource commitments. The lack of international and domestic financing continues to undermine national NCD responses, along with a lack of political will, an absence of cross-sector coordination and insufficient engagement with various stakeholders, particularly the private sector, as well as poorly developed social accountability mechanisms.
This workshop will provide a platform for stakeholders to discuss critical challenges to advancing the implementation of the political commitments of the recent 3rd High-level Meeting on NCDs and the 2030 Agenda. The WHO Global Coordination on the Prevention and Control of NCDs will also launch two important projects: (i) Knowledge Action Portal (KAP) – an interactive platform and knowledge hub for multisectoral and multistakeholder engagement, and (ii) Community of Practice on the commercial determinants of health – an on-line network of experts developing knowledge, sharing best practices and country case studies on the focused thematic area of NCD prevention and control.
