Global Dialogue Meeting on role of non-State actors in supporting Member States in tackling NCDs
Global Dialogue Meeting on the role of non-State actors in supporting Member States in their national efforts to tackle noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Intercontinental Hotel, Balaclava, Mauritius, 19-21 October 2016
Countries have committed to four time-bound commitments to attain national targets and implement national multisectoral NCD action plans through the “best buy” interventions to reduce NCD risk factors and by strengthening health systems to address NCDs.
The Global Dialogue Meeting will focus on the role of non-State actors in supporting Member States in their efforts to implement the WHO Global NCD Action Plan 2013–2020 in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The focus will be on three overarching areas of national governance:
- NCD action plans;
- NCD multisectoral mechanisms, and
- NCD monitoring, evaluation and accountability.
In relation to the above governance areas, the objectives of the Dialogue are to discuss:
- How can non-State actors support in developing and implementing national multisectoral NCD action plans?
- How can non-State actors support the establishment of national multisectoral mechanisms for NCDs?
- When and how can governments engage and mobilize the private sector to support national NCD responses?
- How can non-State actors support governments to monitor and evaluate NCD responses?
An additional session will be dedicated to looking closer at the when and how governments can engage the private sector in national NCD responses and another on the WHO Global Communications Campaign on NCDs, which has a public engagement component of relevance to all stakeholders including non-State actors.
