Comment on: WHO Zero Draft Framework for Meaningful Engagement people with NCDs & mental health

WHO has launched a web-based consultation on Zero Draft of the WHO Framework for Meaningful Engagement of People Living with Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and Mental Health conditions (hereby ‘The Framework’). The web-based consultation is open until the 14th of November, 2022.

The Framework will support WHO and Members States in the meaningful engagement of individuals with lived experience to co-create and enhance related policies, programmes, and services. The framework has been co-created with individuals with lived experience, WHO, Member States and other relevant partners. WHO has proactively prioritized and included individuals with lived experience across a range of evidence-generating activities and processes, which has informed the Zero Draft of the Framework

Member States, UN organizations, non-State actors and individuals with lived experience are invited to submit their comments through e-mail to [email protected]. The response can be given in any of the six official UN languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian or Spanish. We kindly note that the deadline for comments is 14th November 2022.

To submit your comments or to ask any queries on the Framework or the web-based consultation, please contact:  Mr Jack Fisher, Technical Officer, Global Coordination Mechanism on NCDs, Global NCD Platform, [email protected]
