The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a Call for Submissions and inviting its Member States to share their experiences on implementing multisectoral actions to strengthen collaboration across government sectors for the prevention and control of NCDs and mental health conditions.

This Call for Submissions is intended to map country-level experiences and select those that will be part of a collection of case studies, showcasing successful approaches in implementing multisectoral actions for further knowledge collaboration and capacity development.

The Call for Submissions is open to all countries until 30 April 2022.

The process to submit applications is through an online platform, responding to a checklist questionnaire. 

Submissions are being sought from all countries; however, examples from low- and middle-income countries are particularly encouraged.  

Government agencies, ministries or equivalent, both from the health sector and beyond are welcomed to send their applications.

All completed and accepted submissions will be showcased in a report, accessible online and disseminated widely through WHO channels and networks.

Further knowledge collaboration and exchange activities will take place to showcase these successful experiences ahead of the preparation to the fourth High-level Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on NCDs in 2025.

Those interested can learn more here and access the online questionnaire through this link.
