Breaking Political Barriers: Advancing NCD Agendas through Legislative Advocacy

Advancing national NCD responses requires strong legislative action to drive impactful policy. This session will explore the role of advocacy in influencing parliamentarians, supporting laws and shaping regulations to advance the NCD agenda at national level. Drawing on real world examples from the Philippines and Tanzania, the discussion will be centred on strategies to build relationships with parliamentarians and leverage political processes to create stronger NCD responses. This session will share lessons learned on how persistent advocacy can turn aspirations into legislative milestones.
