Related Projects

The JA PreventNCD initiative is part of a larger network of European Union projects aimed at tackling non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and promoting public health. These projects work in tandem to share knowledge, strategies, and resources, thereby amplifying their impact across the EU. By harboring the synergies of these collaborative efforts, we can enhance the effectiveness and reach of our initiatives, ensuring a more comprehensive approach to NCD prevention and health promotion. Among these related projects are several action grants directly linked to JA PreventNCD, as well as other EU initiatives focusing on similar goals.

Action Grants

As part of JA PreventNCD, the following action grants have been established to address specific aspects of non-communicable disease prevention and health promotion:

FILTERED

The main goal of the FILTERED Project (From sILos To synErgies to pRevEnt ncDs) is to stimulate collaborative advocacy, health promotion, action and accountability at European and national level, including in Ukraine, for the prevention of NCDs among civil society organisations specialised in advocacy linked to the reduction of alcohol-related harm, tobacco control and the reduction of the consumption of unhealthy foods and drinks.
