The thematic issue briefs discuss challenges and opportunities in advancing multisectoral and multistakeholder action on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Each brief includes a rationale, stakeholder-specific recommendations and key messages on institutionalizing multisectoral governance, leveraging data and evidence for multisectoral policies and programmes, and strengthening multisectoral narratives on NCDs. Co-developed with leading participant organizations of the WHO Global Coordination Mechanism on NCDs (GCM/NCD), the briefs are designed to serve as both additional technical references and strong advocacy tools to advance multisectoral and multistakeholder action on NCDs.
