People living with diabetes should be at the centre of decisions that impact their lives.

The WHO Global Diabetes Compact is deeply committed to learning from people living with diabetes so that our continued efforts are focused on the priorities and areas most relevant to the global diabetes community.

By engaging people living with all forms of diabetes through the co-development, co-design, and co-facilitation of focus groups, discussion forums and other engagement events, we aim to ensure people with diabetes have a say at decision-making tables while also supporting collaborative efforts to reach the WHO global coverage targets for diabetes.

Building on key principles outlined in the WHO framework for meaningful engagement of people living with noncommunicable diseases, and mental health and neurological conditions, the Global Diabetes Compact looks forward to learning from, and engaging with, the diabetes community.
