Resume

Ikke smitsomme sygdomme (NCDs) vokser dramatisk i Uganda. Regeringen giver det ringe opmærksomhed. NCDs kan forebygges, men viden om NCDs er ekstremt lav. Behandling er mangelfuld eller ikke eksisterende og patienterne lider under stigmatisering og udelukkelse fra deres fællesskaber. Dette projekt skal videreudvikle og konsolidere kapaciteten i en stærk, legitim og troværdig CSO (Uganda NCD Alliance) basered på erfaringer fra fase 1 og 2. UNCDA repræsenterer patienter, pårørende og befolkningen i kampen mod NCDs og kæmper for retten til sundhed og sundhedsydelser i relation til NCDs. En horisontal organisationsstruktur skal sammen med indsamling og brug af evidens sikre politisk gennemslagskraft. Optimering af ressourceanvendelsen og fælles aktiviteter om delte risikofaktorer og patientbehov skal skabe synergi. Målet er at videreudvikle og konsolidere alliancen, dens strategiske ydelser og politiske lobbyvirksomhed for at skabe politiske resultater. En organisatorisk, en oplysnings- og en politisk tilgang skal sikre resultaterne.
