New 2022-2025 Strategy

After a long and thorough process challenged by the corona pandemic and geopolitical changes, in close dialogue between our member originations the Danish Lung Association, Danish Diabetes Association and Danish Cancer Society and with inputs from Danish and East African partners, we are happy to present our new 2022-2025 strategy.  

The strategy is guided by our overall mission and vision along with 7 strategic focus areas that will guide our international projects for the years to come.

Vision

A world free from preventable suffering, stigma, disability and death caused by non-communicable diseases.

Mission

To support empowering People Living with NCDs to organize strong and vibrant NCD Alliances in East Africa and to participate in collaborative advocacy, action and accountability for NCD prevention and control globally.   

Our 7 focus areas:

• Advocacy and awareness raising - a special effort will be on promoting WHOs best buys - evidence-based and cost-effective solutions
• Getting the East African Community seriously involved in the battle against NCDs
• Ensuring that People Living with NCDs are consulted, involved and have a real voice in every aspect related to NCD policies and implementation
• Paying special attention to the deepening inequalities within health and ensuring that the most vulnerable - not least people battling mental health issues and/or physical handicaps comes to the forefront in the fight against NCDs
• Further capacity building of our young East African NCD Alliance partners
• Supporting improved NCD research nationally and regionally
• Increase our budget through a more diversified funding portfolio
