 Toolkit for developing a multisectoral action plan for noncommunicable diseases (Modules 1-5)

This page contains a comprehensive toolkit for developing, implementing, and evaluating a multisectoral action plan (MSAP) aimed at the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Targeted at policymakers, planners, and program managers, it guides users through the essential steps for creating an MSAP to meet global and national NCD targets aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. The toolkit includes modules on conducting a comprehensive health needs assessment, establishing stakeholder engagement and governance, creating a framework for action, developing an implementation plan, and evaluating the plan's implementation. Each module is designed to assist countries, provinces, and cities in addressing cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory diseases through a coordinated and inclusive approach.
