What is the current capacity of Member countries to collect and report on the target every 5 years?
Evidence of achievability @ country level sub-optimal / concurrent timings? Reliable data collection Sample size? Representative Sampling? Validated tools / methods? Is there reliable baseline data -? Accurate reporting? Potential to study trends over time
Global school-based student health survey (GSHS) to capture younger age group E- STEPS (Pocket PCs) lower age limit 18 yrs Country capacity to address and respond to NCDs Has a Unit / Branch / Dept in MOH with responsibility for NCDs Has an integrated or topic-specific policy / programme / action plan which is currently operational
Is there a reliable system for data collection in the Member countries?

Recommendations minimum actions/mechanisms needed for collecting, using and reporting data greater emphasis on the need for coordination of national / sub national surveys @ country level an essential agenda item of the NATIONAL ACTION PLAN for surveillance (2014, 2019, 2024) multiple risk factor approach common method STEPS aim for blood sampling better integration curative and preventive HS regional maps (through inter-country coordination) reporting of peer reviewed research data (GRIPS) - available data is better than no data
Recommendations beyond basics Regional specifics address life circle issues (LBW/Macrosomia, GDM, Childhood /adolescent obesity) encourage evidence based approach (policy to implementation) Capture pre-diabetes / Metabolic syndrome data Gender issues (inter-generational effects) Cut off BMI? 27.5 kg/m 2 ; Waist Circumference Prioritize urban sector (high risk groups) data collection when national level data collection is not feasible
