WHO: Advocacy about Noncommunicable diseases by the civil society in Uganda

With the support of the Ugandan Ministry of Health, the partnership between the Uganda NCD Alliance (UNCDA) and Danish NCD Alliance (DNCDA) tackles weak civil society engagement on NCDs. DNCDA provides funding and technical expertise for the capacity development of UNCDA. The
Danish Government (DANIDA) finances this twinning programme through a civil society fund. Further support is provided by the Ugandan Parliamentary Forum, WHO Uganda, as well as stakeholders from government and other NGOs. Through this partnership patients are represented and provided with
better access to care.
