NCDs has impacted all our lives and we need to ACT Now to ensure that we are part of the solution to this issue.
Here are some quotes from some supporters of the You’ve Got a Say campaign.
What is the Global Charter on Meaningful Involvement of People Living with NCDs?
The ‘Global Charter on Meaningful Involvement of People Living with NCDs’, is based on the principle that people living with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) – including care partners (also known as carers or care givers) – should be meaningfully involved in every step of decision-making that affects their lives.
The aim of the Global Charter is to have meaningful involvement of people living with NCDs embedded into organisational practices and mobilises all actors such as governments, international partners, private sector and civil society organisations.
The Global Charter calls on organisations and institutions to publicly endorse the Charter – and commit to fundamental principles and ten core strategies. These strategies will enable the meaningful involvement of people living with NCDs in decision-making at all levels – from the first stages of design, implementation to monitoring and evaluation and scale-up of NCD policies, programmes and services.
