NCD Diaries and themes
Each series of NCD Diaries will have a thematic focus, including the broad themes of the Global Advocacy Agenda of People Living with NCDs and, potentially, more specific themes, depending on relevant advocacy opportunities.

For the audio and text formats, at least one of the three Diary entries should incorporate the selected theme.
NCD Diaries can be created in three formats:
