Key Interventions

    • Improve country capacity to implement evidence-based guidelines on NCD management, the Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP), strengthen disabilities and rehabilitation services, and implement other evidence-based tools to improve health outcomes for people with NCDs and mental health conditions.

    • Provide guidance to develop and implement strategies to promote deinstitutionalization of long-term psychiatric care based on human rights principles and specified internationally recognized frameworks. 

    • Support countries in the design, implementation, and analysis of population-based surveys and data on NCDs and their risk factors and ensure integration of the resulting data into NCD programs. 

    • Improve countries’ health system response to violence in all its forms, including through the development of evidence-based guidance and tools and training of health workers, while fostering multisectoral partnerships in line with interventions for violence prevention such as INSPIRE and RESPECT. 

    • Support countries in conducting national assessments of the safe systems approach, including post-crash  response using the Emergency and Critical Care Systems Assessments tool, to identify priorities to improve  road safety and emergency trauma care of road traffic and other unintentional injuries, and provide  technical cooperation to implement cost-effective interventions, legislation, and policies in line with the  recommendations of the Global Plan for the Second Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021–2030.
