Abstract
The WHO global coordination mechanism on noncommunicable diseases (GCM/NCD) was created in 2014 by the World Health Assembly to provide a platform for exchange and coordination between the 194 Member States, the United Nations organizations and to date, more than 200 non-State actors to federate actions around a collaborative program aimed at meeting the NCD-related targets of the Sustainable Development Goals and to reduce the premature mortality attributable to these diseases. This mechanism has five functions: advocating and raising awareness, disseminating knowledge and information, encouraging innovation and identifying barriers, advancing multisectoral action, advocating for mobilization of resources.
