The United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force on the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (Task Force) looks to increase awareness on NCDs and advocates for ever greater attention and mobilization of resources to combat NCDs. As part of this Members are encouraged to raise the importance of NCDs as a development issue, especially now that NCDs are part of the SDGs, with their governing bodies.
