What

The long-term outcome that the ICCP is working towards is that all countries have and are implementing a quality cancer control plan, which is linked to a country’s non-communicable disease (NCD) control efforts. The ICCP believes that prioritizing cancer is critical to reaching the NCD goal within Global Monitoring Framework on NCDs, the WHO Global Action Plan on NCDs and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.  

As a collaborative partnership, ICCP aims to support all countries in their response to the NCCP challenge in providing advice across the cycle of planning, development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation including periodic assessment revision and adjustment.

The ICCP works to showcase opportunities and foster best practice partnerships across non-communicable diseases, build new synergies with existing health programmes and put high level NCD commitments into practice through:

• Advocacy at global and local levels
• Providing a one-stop-shop of best practice resources, including a tool for initiating plans and a searchable database of published NCCPs
• Addressing data gaps for stepwise development, phased implementation and scale up
• Responding to requests for technical assistance from low income countries

Partnership Priorities

• Advocate that countries make cancer control a priority Use ICCP networks to reach out to country decision-makers to encourage them to make cancer control a priority
• Jointly assist countries to develop and implement quality cancer plans
• Work within the ICCP to coordinate efforts around development and dissemination of cancer control planning materials and tools, technical assistance and training, and to address data gaps
