Resume
This intervention seeks to improve the capacity of Burundi NCD Alliance by establishing branches to set up screening and awareness activities, which can help generate health data and increase awareness about NCDs and their risk factors. By providing unique health data, increase general awareness about NCDs, educate policy makers and media and promote policy initiatives the intervention ultimately seeks to increase the overall health status of the general population and not least prevent people from dying prematurely of NCDs. Burundi is one of the world poorest countries, politically unstable and in a deep humanitarian crisis. Supporting building up a well-functioning Civil Society, not least within the ailing health sector is of great importance.
