Identify gaps, implementation challenges, and national priorities, and propose solutions with the potential to influence policy and practices for NCD prevention and control in LMICs.
Engage diverse stakeholders across sectors and actors throughout the research process.
Explore the best strategies to create strong partnerships between governments, NGOs, the private sector, researchers, communities, and individuals (particularly vulnerable populations) to address NCD prevention and control.
Identify lessons about implementation and propose feasible actionable solutions within the context.
Themes
The submitted proposals can address a wide variety of issues aimed at scaling up NCD prevention and control, establishing multisectoral and multistakeholder coordination mechanisms, and understanding innovative integrated delivery models to shift from disease-focused treatment approaches to sustainable person-centered health systems. The goal is to accelerate countrylevel responses towards NCD target 3.4 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: By 2030, reduce premature mortality from NCDs through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being.
