Tanzania Advocacy Agenda of People Living with NCDs

The Tanzania Advocacy Agenda of People Living with NCDs serves as a guiding document to ensure that the voices of people affected by NCDs shape national health policies and advocacy efforts. 

Launched in November 2021, it was developed through community conversations, focus group discussions, and 37 in-depth interviews with over 200 people living with NCDs from various regions across Tanzania. Led by a working group of four individuals living with NCDs and supported by TANCDA and the NCD Alliance, the Agenda highlights four key areas: Human Rights & Social Justice; Prevention; Treatment, Care, and Support; and Meaningful Involvement. Recognized by the Ministry of Health, this Agenda serves as a strategic resource for policymakers, healthcare professionals, civil society organizations, and patient associations to strengthen NCD prevention and control in Tanzania.
