“Our PRIORITIES would fail to overtake obstacles unless ACTIONS carry it out”

To take forward and mirror the priorities in the field of Non-Communicable Diseases, advocacy is a must, aiming to incorporate values formation together with raising awareness of pressing issues concerning Non-Communicable Diseases.

“Advocacy leads to initiating well-thought actions deliberately to influence private and public policy selection by taking position on a priority issue in regards to ensuring greater benefit in the concerned ground”

By mobilizing the forums networks while participating in the key national and international advocacy events, the forum reaches directly to the decision-makers and other authorities. Securing an NCDs-friendly policy environment, especially for poor people, is a key aspect of BNCDF’s mission. Thus, advocacy is the main focus of this platform in response to the imperative health and development needs of the people living with NCDs. As one of the leading advocates in the field of NCDs related to public health and social development, BNCDF is engaged in regular policies and exclusive dialogues with the government of Bangladesh, its representatives, global and national NCDs stakeholders, and other relevant concerns.

To advocate various pressing issues related to the NCDs service delivery and awareness campaign, we worked together with Global NCD Alliance, International Diabetes Federation, and World Heart Federation together with other vigorous NGOs, INGOs, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and NCDs stakeholders.
