Why a conference on NCDs, Children and Adolescents?
  • Held exactly 6 months after the UN High Level Meeting on NCDs, this conference will enable a comprehensive review of the Political Declaration that results, and interpret what it means for future efforts to protect children and adolescents from NCDs
  • One of the biggest criticisms in the lead up to the UNHLM and Political Declaration is lack of targets, accountability and commitment to action. This conference will be an opportunity for a diverse range of stakeholders to collaborate across sectors and silos to consider the best ways to protect children and adolescents from NCDs
  • A call for abstracts across several key themes will ensure a solid evidence-base informs collaborative, translational efforts to develop a “policy roadmap” outcomes document that governments and organizations might use to implement, evaluate and monitor efforts to protect and promote the rights of children and adolescents to health with respect to NCDs
  • The conference will highlight the centrality of a lifecourse approach to sustainable, scalable efforts to prevent NCDs.
  • The conference will offer a forum for exploring ways that child and adolescent focused NCD efforts might sustainably link with existing platforms (notably HIV and Maternal and Child Health) and MDG targets
  • This forum will provide a unique opportunity for stakeholders from different NCD disease silos (Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Disease and Asthma at minimum) and sectors (not just health) to connect with and learn from one another
