Draft Workplan for the Global Coordination Mechanism on the Prevention and Control of Ncds 2022-2025

Decision WHA74(11) extends the current terms of reference of the WHO global coordination mechanism for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (GCM/NCD) until 2030 with a mid-term evaluation in 2025. In addition, Decision WHA74(11) requests the Director-General to develop, in consultation with Member States and non-State-actors, a workplan for the GCM/NCD to be submitted to the 75th World Health Assembly through the 150th session of the Executive Board.

In response, the WHO Secretariat has prepared a draft workplan for the GCM/NCD, with an accompanying Theory of Change and Logic Model These documents ensure the following:

• the continued performance of GCM/NCD, with a more focused approach to the delivery of its functions and with clearly defined objectives and measurable and practical milestones;
• that the work of the GCM/NCD contributes to the achievement of the objectives set in the WHO global action plan for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases 2013-20304; and
• that the GCM/NCD carries out its functions in a way that is integrated with the WHO’s ongoing work on noncommunicable diseases.
