Mission & Vision
A national coalition, rooted in the people of the White Nile.
SSNCDA is a civil-society platform based in Juba, driving effective NCD prevention and control through multi-sector partnerships, evidence-based programming and the lived experience of patients themselves.
Mission
Build a strong multi-sectoral coalition that drives effective NCD prevention and control across every state and community.
What we believe
NCDs — hypertension, diabetes, cancer, chronic respiratory and mental health — are quietly becoming South Sudan's heaviest health burden. They are also preventable. Every clinic strengthened, every patient screened, every voice heard is a step toward a productive nation.
Ten objectives
What we're organized to deliver.
Every program, partnership and pilot ladders back to these commitments — drawn directly from our Ministry of Health collaboration framework.
01
Policy & budget priority
Make NCD prevention and control a national policy and budget priority in South Sudan.
02
Multi-sector coordination
Coordinate government, civil society, health facilities, donors, academia, private sector and communities.
03
Healthy lifestyles
Promote healthy lifestyles and community awareness in every state and county.
04
Screening & follow-up
Support screening, early detection, referral and long-term follow-up for people at risk.
05
Workforce capacity
Strengthen health workers and community care workers across the country.
06
Voice of patients
Amplify the voices of people living with NCDs so they shape policy and care.
07
Evidence & surveillance
Generate reliable surveillance, research and program-performance data.
08
Donor-ready programs
Design measurable interventions and pilots ready for donor investment.
09
Transparent governance
Maintain transparent finance, payroll, procurement and grant compliance.
10
Value for money
Attract funding by clearly showing reach, results, accountability and safeguards.
Programs
From prevention to lifelong care.
Four connected pillars carry a person from awareness — through screening and diagnosis — into long-term follow-up they can actually reach.
Prevention
Community awareness & healthy living
Radio, church, market and school outreach in local languages — tackling tobacco, alcohol, salt, sugar, physical inactivity and air pollution.

From the field
"When my neighbours saw their blood pressure numbers, everything changed."
— Community volunteer, Central Equatoria
1 in 3
adults in sub-Saharan Africa now live with raised blood pressure — most undiagnosed. Screening changes that.
74%
of global deaths are due to NCDs — Africa's share is rising fastest.
80%
of premature NCD deaths are preventable with the right care pathways.
