Advocacy in action

UICC members from every region have been organising advocacy activities in preparation for the UN Summit on Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) taking place on 19 – 20 September 2011 in New York.

Activities include: meeting with and sending letters to their governments; representing UICC at key meetings and events on NCDs; organising events; developing partnerships with other NCD organisations; and sharing examples of national solutions for cancer prevention and control. Use your mouse or the arrows on the map itself to zoom in and move the map around to see what is happening in your region.

Sharing news about your activities on the Advocacy in Action map is easy, simply submit your activity. The map is a platform and a great opportunity to show the world all the great work our community is doing in the lead up to the UN Summit on NCDs.

Please note: that after submitting an activity, the team at UICC checks the content before it's published online. This may take a few hours depending on the time of day.
