Final evaluation of the global coordination mechanism on the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases: Executive summary

The terms of reference of the GCM/NCD included a provision for both a preliminary and a final evaluation. Building on the 2017 preliminary evaluation of the GCM/NCD, the objective of the final evaluation was to assess the effectiveness of the GCM/NCD, its added value and its continued relevance to the achievement of the 2025 voluntary global targets, including its possible extension. The scope of the final evaluation involved an assessment of the results derived from the implementation of the workplan covering the period 2018–2019, which reportedly took into account the recommendations of the preliminary evaluation, as well as the workplan for 2020. It also considered the lessons learned and the extent to which the recommendations of the preliminary evaluation were actioned, and to what effect. The executive summary of the evaluation report was presented to the 148th session of the Executive Board in January 2021.
