“Our Views Our Voices” is an initiative of the Global NCD Alliance dedicated to promote the meaningful involvement of people living with NCDs (PLWNCDs).
The main aim of this programme is to motivate and train PLWNCDs to have confidences, gain skills to become spokespersons and be passionate voices of change and thereby be able to be advocates to policy makers. The innovative tool used is speaking freely about their lived experience to improve prevention, care and treatment in NCD response.
Promote engagement of PLWNCDs to build resilience and a knowledge base of the common challenges, needs and priorities.
Advocate to put people first in the NCD response at global, regional and national levels by promoting meaningful involvement of PLWNCDs in decision making and furthering the Advocacy Agenda for PLWNCDs.
Equip PLWNCDs with skills, knowledge and confidence to build a public narrative and drive change.
Promote the views and voices of PLWNCDs and strengthen a public narrative that puts people first, challenge NCD misconceptions, breaks down stigma and discrimination, and calls for systemic change.
“OVOV” initiative in Sri Lanka was launched at a media seminar held at the Health Education Bureau with the support of the Ministry of Health NCD unit, Health Promotion Bureau (HPB) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
