The National Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases and Health Promotion in Pakistan (Action Plan) has been developed with inputs generated through an extensive process within the different domains of NCDs and is reflective of broad-based consensus. This initiative attempts to incorporate core public health principles into country health programme planning through an approach that seeks evidence before planning interventions and utilizes intervention-monitoring to generate further evidence. It has a comprehensive configuration with evidence-based policy and action-oriented dimensions calling for a change at the institutional, community and public policy levels. The strategy has been designed to overcome the tendency to rely on a disjointed set of small scale projects, factoring integration at four levels: grouping NCDs so that these can be targeted through a set of actions, harmonizing actions, integrating actions with existing public health systems and incorporating contemporary evidence-based concepts into this approach. The Action Plan delivers an Integrated Framework for Action (IFA). The IFA has been developed as a concerted approach to addressing the multidisciplinary range of issues within a prevention, control and health promotion framework across the broad range of NCDs. It is modelled to impact a set of indicators through the combination of a range of actions in tandem with rigorous formative research.
