WHO Global NCD Platform Young Researchers Programme
This collection of policy briefs and the advocacy video were developed as part of the WHO Global NCD Platform Young Researchers Programme.
As part of the WHO Global NCD Platform Young Researchers Programme pilot, incentive grants were awarded to 8 winners from low- and middle-income countries enrolled in academic institutions. Their research is investigating NCD and mental health challenges in Uganda, Peru, China, India, Ethiopia, Cameroon, and Egypt, representing five WHO Regions. The first Grants Award Ceremony was held in a dedicated session during the World Health Summit 2022 in Berlin, Germany. A year later, at the World Health Summit 2023 the global health community was presented with these policy briefs developed by the pilot cohort of young researchers based on their research findings.
