Summary: 

Cancer survivorship is a critical yet often overlooked component of national cancer control plans (NCCPs). A multidisciplinary research team examined the inclusion of survivorship-related strategies and objectives in current or recently expired NCCPs of 21 African countries and published aggregate findings in January 2023. To promote access to and use of those results for decision-making by local and regional cancer planners, advocates, and policymakers, the team created survivorship profiles for each country to be published alongside NCCPs on the International Cancer Control Partnership (ICCP) Portal.
