Overview
Rwanda Non-Communicable Diseases Alliance is a unique civil society network, founded in 2016 and uniting 25 organizations ( NCDs Patients, health care professionals and youth-led organizations and private institutions) working on NCDs in Rwanda. It was born as a fruit of collaboration between Rwanda Diabetes Association, Rwanda Heart Foundation, Breast Cancer East Africa Initiative, Rwanda Cardiac Patient Network, and Rwanda Pharmaceutical Students Association. Working together as an alliance provides a mutual platform for collaboration and joint advocacy to drive the NCDs agenda forward. It is our belief that addressing NCDs needs wide and multi-sector collaboration. Rwanda NCDA is globally connected with other NCDs Alliances. More than 1000 volunteers already affiliated with Rwanda NCD Alliance. The volunteers have a health background. They are young and well educated (normally they are recent graduates and university students). They are much eager to serve as well as bringing back what they have acquired from universities to the communities. However, few of them have received proper training in NCDs and data collection, and more have to be recruited through the already existing network of Rwanda NCD Alliance and its member organizations.
