Report: Country Collaborations for the Prevention & Management of NCDs in Young People

Report: Country Collaborations for the Prevention & Management of NCDs in Young People

NCD Child recently launched a new report entitled ‘Country Collaborations for the Prevention & Management of NCDs in Young People – NCD Advocacy Workshop Series: 2015-2019‘.

In 2015 NCD Child launched its Protecting Children from NCDs: Leadership Advocacy Training Workshop series, for leaders and champions working to strengthen the NCD response for children, adolescents, and young people in their countries. As part of the workshop series, NCD Child awarded competitive small grants to workshop participants for advocacy in action projects in their respective countries. This publication follows NCD Child’s 2016 interim report, ‘Country Collaborations for the Prevention & Management of NCDs in Young People‘. It provides an overview of the series progress from 2015 to 2019 while highlighting the resulting advocacy projects supported by NCD Child following the workshops. This publication also describes a pathway to expand NCD Child’s workshop model, to sustain support for comprehensive NCDs prevention and control.
