The WHO Framework for Meaningful Engagement of People Living with Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and Mental Health conditions (hereby ‘The Framework’) will support WHO and Members States in the meaningful engagement of individuals with lived experience to co-create and enhance related policies, programmes, and services.
The framework will contribute to the advancement of understanding, knowledge and action on meaningful engagement and other related participatory approaches through an evolving evidence base. The framework has been co-created with individuals with lived experience, WHO, Member States and other relevant partners. WHO has proactively prioritized and included individuals with lived experience across a range of evidence-generating activities and processes, which has informed the Zero Draft of the Framework.
To this end, the WHO Secretariat is hosting a web-based consultation from the 23rd of October to the 14th of November 2022 on the Zero Draft of the Framework. Member States, UN organizations, non-State actors and individuals with lived experience are invited to submit their comments through e-mail to fisherj@who.int. The response can be given in any of the six official UN languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian or Spanish.
How To Get Involved

We kindly note that the deadline for comments is 14th November 2022. All relevant contributions received will be reviewed and taken into consideration in the process of co-developing the above-mentioned Framework. They may also serve as input for other related processes and products. All relevant contributions will be shared through a webinar in early 2023.
