At the meeting on the 2015 UN Sustainable Development Goals and the commitments made in the outcome documents of the 2011 and 2014 UN High-Level Meetings on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs), the countries of the South-East Asia (SEA) Region agreed to take several steps to establish NCD governance mechanisms and amplify their multisectoral response to NCDs.The Regional Office for South-East Asia Region of WHO conducted a review of the situation of national multisectoral response and governance mechanisms to address NCDs in the eleven Member States in 2018. The document provides an update of multisectoral governance mechanisms, the lessons and challenges and discusses the potential solutions to make the multisectoral practices effective in the era of the emerging need for public policy responses by all stakeholders.
