Summary
The aim of the action is to reduce the burden of NCDs targeting NCDs other than those in the five action strands of the ‘Healthier Together – EU NCD Initiative’ and cancer; for example, kidney diseases and liver diseases, auto-immune diseases, musculo-skeletal conditions etc., by increasing awareness, sharing knowledge and building capacity to improve public health, especially at local level.
Detailed Call Description
Activities to be funded will include the transfer of promising practices and approaches, which contribute to tackling the burden of NCDs other than cancer and those in the five action strands of the ‘Healthier Together’ initiative.
The civil society organisations (NGOs, professional and patient groups) will implement targeted projects and activities, complementing the Member States’ efforts in the design, planning and implementation of best practices, including support to the definition of public health guidelines and healthcare guidelines, to the preparation and roll out of new policy approaches, to the pilot testing of innovative practices, and support actions such as training and twinning, health communication or health literacy. Activities should also include an equity dimension and aim at reducing health inequalities. In parallel, NGOs and professional and patient groups will have the opportunity to engage in the implementation of complementary actions. Such engagement may include the provision of input for the preparation of public health guidelines, awareness actions, training, piloting or other actions that can benefit citizens directly.
Proposals should include evidence of effectiveness of practices and approaches, and preference will be given to those already tested on the ground with positive outcome. These practices and approaches can be targeted at one or more specific groups, such as different age groups, health care workers and different patient groups. Practice transfer is to be implemented through pilot projects, and in consultation with representatives from the community or target group concerned. Funded activities will also need to include a brief process evaluation of the implementation at the pilot sites, as well as a plan for further roll-out of practice implementation in the participating countries.
