Developing Africa NCD Watch
as a future hub for insights
Our goal is to build a trusted space where policymakers, researchers, and health organizations can access clear, Africa-focused knowledge on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, dementia, hypertension, cancers, among others
Why Our Work Matters
NCDs cause over 41 million deaths every year
That is 74% of all global deaths, with cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases being the leading contributors.
More than 85% of premature NCD deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries
African countries carry a rapidly rising burden, driven by urbanization, lifestyle risk factors, and limited early-detection systems.
Our Strategic
Approach
Evidence Generation & Surveillance
We build standardized systems to track NCDs across African communities.
Research & Innovation
We conduct high-quality studies to identify emerging NCD patterns and strengthen evidence for public-health decisions.
Capacity Building
We conduct multi-country studies to deepen understanding of NCDs across Africa.
Institutional Partnerships
Universities, ministries, NGOs, and public health agencies can collaborate on research, data, or national-level programs.
