Country initiatives

The Global Alliance focuses specifically on the needs of low- and middle-income countries and vulnerable populations, and fosters country-specific initiatives that are tailored to local needs.

GARD Country

In order for the activities of the Alliance to meet the specific needs of countries, national alliances (GARD Country) are being established with a view to provide a coordination role and create the necessary momentum to strengthen the national capacity to face the increasing impact of chronic respiratory diseases.

Demonstration project

GARD has currently demonstration projects taking place in Brazil, Finland, South Africa and the United States of America.
