Topic:
Noncommunicable diseases
Rationale:
WHO conducts a periodic assessment of national capacity for NCD prevention and control through the use of a global survey to all Member States known as the NCD country capacity survey (NCD CCS). Such periodic assessment allows countries and WHO to monitor progress and achievements in expanding capacities to respond to the epidemic of noncommunicable diseases.
Definition:
The questionnaire is completed by national NCD focal points or designated colleagues within the ministry of health or a national institute/agency and covers the following topics: health system infrastructure; funding; policies, plans and strategies; surveillance; primary health care; and partnerships and multilateral collaboration.

Implementation of the NCD CCS is managed collaboratively between WHO headquarters (WHO HQ) and the six WHO regional offices. NCD CCS have been carried out in 2001, 2005, 2010, and then biennially since 2013. Reports for all surveys are available.

Definitions for each indicator are in the downloadable NCD Country Capacity Survey Indicators Definitions below.
