As part of the Our Views, Our Voices consultation process leading to the creation of the Advocacy Agenda of People Living with NCDs, 72 in-person community conversations were held between July and September 2017 in 16 countries around the world, involving 935 people living with NCDs.

The community conversations aimed to promote thoughtful, constructive, collaborative, dialogue among people living with and affected by NCDs. They also allowed a better understanding of needs, challenges, and priority “asks”.
