A UNGA special side event
Unlocking the potential for collective impact: Finding the hidden benefits of partnering for noncommunicable diseases
REGISTRATIONS CLOSED
There has been a universal call for greater collective action in pursuit of the UN SDGs. Yet, how do we know if our collective efforts are leading to collective impact? What metrics should be used? How do we demonstrate results? Can we clearly link cause and effect?
In partnership with RTI International, Access Accelerated and our partners, City Cancer Challenge, NCD Alliance, PATH, World Bank and the World Heart Federation, this special UNGA side event will explore models of measuring collective impact and share experiences and insights from six years of collective action tackling NCDs.
