Making NCD prevention & control a priority, everywhere. This page brings news & updates on our campaigns and opportunities to take action. The NCD Alliance is leading the way to a world free from preventable suffering, disability and death caused by non- communicable diseases (NCDs). Founded in 2009, we are a unique civil society network uniting 2,000 civil society organisations in more than 170 countries. Our network includes global and national NGOs, scientific and professional associations, academic and research institutions, private sector entities and dedicated individuals. Together with strategic partners, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN), and governments, the NCD Alliance is transforming the fight against NCDs.
The is guided by our Strategic Plan 2016-2020. Our work is based on four strategies to drive progress towards the globally agreed goal of a 25% reduction in premature NCD mortality by 2025. Our greatest strength lies in the capacity of our global network, our ability to ground global advocacy in the reality of local experience, and our independence and integrity.
