Multisectoral actions to strengthen the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases and mental health conditions

Some 46 countries responded to WHO’s 2022 call for submissions on how multisectoral action can be successfully incorporated into the prevention and control of NCDs and mental health conditions. Three out of four submissions were received from low- and middle-income countries.

The 95 experiences mapped in this repository include all submissions that met the inclusion criteria, as detailed in a dedicated guiding framework on multisectoral action for the prevention and control of NCDs and mental health conditions. Further data and additional insights are available in the global mapping report on multisectoral actions to strengthen the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases and mental health conditions.
