Abstract

The Analysis of non-communicable diseases prevention policies in Africa (ANPPA) – A case study of South Africa set out to analyse non-communicable disease (NCD) policies in South Africa. Its particular aims were to: assess the state of implementation of NCD “best buy” interventions; generate evidence on the extent to which multi-sectoral action (MSA) is used in formulating and implementing policy guiding these interventions in South Africa; identify barriers to and facilitators of the formulation and implementation of NCD prevention and control policies in the country; and contribute to the literature on Multi-sectoral Action relevance in formulating and implementing NCD prevention and control policies.

Description

This study was carried out with contract funding from the International Development and Research Centre (IDRC) through the African Population & Health Research Centre (APHRC). The research team is grateful to the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) executive for their support in this study.
