Abstract
The core of the NCDP Program clusters around four foci: tobacco control, alcohol control, healthy diets and physical activity. The evaluation examined capacity building, policy influence and knowledge generation outcomes. The Governance for Equity in Health Systems (GEHS) program aims to strengthen individual researchers, research teams and institutions in low- and middle-income countries by supporting grantees to examine health system challenges towards increasing equity, improving governance and promoting systems integration. With regard to capacity strengthening, the evaluation found multiple lines of evidence suggesting that the GEHS program has built capacities or influenced capacity development at national and regional levels.
