The newly supported projects in 2024 span four of the seven International Diabetes Federation regions: Africa, Europe, Western Pacific, and South-East Asia.
These efforts build upon successful earlier phases, bolstering diabetes and hypertension management in Sierra Leone and Armenia. In Cambodia, the Republic of Marshall Islands, Nepal, and Georgia, the key focus is on reducing NCD risks and promoting health at the community level.
Here are the new projects funded by WDF:
|
Sierra Leone |

All projects include prevention and care components for health systems strengthening. To ensure that, governments, local communities, community health workers, and healthcare organisations are working closely together. This multi-sectoral approach aims to create sustainable and impactful changes in NCD management, ultimately improving health outcomes across these regions.
