MESSAGE OF INVITATION
NCD Child is a global coalition, championing the rights and needs of children, adolescents and youth who are living with Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), or are at risk of developing NCDs or the behaviours that underlie NCDs later in life. We work together to ensure that issues related to NCDs, children, adolescents and youth are effectively addressed and prioritised in global and national policies, programmes and development agendas.
The 2014 NCD Child Conference aims to further develop a vibrant platform for interaction, knowledge exchange and networking. It will build on the achievements of our 2012 NCD Child Conference to ensure the needs of children, adolescents and youth are a priority focus within the context of NCD action and the post 2015 agenda. The 2014 event will provide an opportunity to establish and strengthen regional partnerships - with a special focus on the Caribbean - as well as highlight current promising practices from around the world.
