CLAN identifies strongly with its geographic neighbours in the Asia Pacific region, and is committed to the vision that children living with long-term, chronic health conditions in low-middle income countries of our region will one day enjoy the same high quality of life as that of children in higher income countries such as Australia.
However, redressing the current extremes of global inequity experienced by children with existing health conditions in resource-poor countries will take a concerted global effort, and for this reason CLAN is also committed to networking beyond our own neighbourhood as well. Influencing international policy makers is a key objective for CLAN, and the most realistic chance we have of effecting sustainable, global change for children everywhere.
A key activity for CLAN in recent years has been around advocacy efforts for children and adolescents within the global NCD (Non-Communicable Disease), health and development discourse. In early 2011 CLAN worked as Chair of the Child-focused Working Group of the NCD Alliance, and from there took on the role of inaugural Secretariat of NCD Child, a global coalition of organisations and individuals committed to a life-course approach to NCDs.
