Support the Diabetes Programme
There are several areas within our current work programme for which we are seeking additional support:
- Specific awareness raising activities, including for example, translation and adaptation of our booklet Diabetes Action Now to regional and national needs and awareness raising campaigns within specific regions and countries.
- Support for work with sentinel project sites, on such areas as surveys of awareness about diabetes, studies of the economic impact of diabetes, and surveys of the prevalence of diabetes and its risk factors.
- Support for the development of guidance for health policy makers in low and middle income countries on the contents and implementation of national diabetes programmes. Support is needed to hold expert, consensus building workshops, to produce and pilot materials, and to develop online support.
- Support for work on assessing the current global burden of diabetes and future trends.
- Support for the production of the report on the assessment and classification of diabetes and related complications.
In addition to the above we are happy to discuss other ideas for pieces of work so long as they are related to the core functions of the Diabetes Unit.
