7. Abstract:
Chronic noncommunicable diseases in low- and middle-income countries have recently provoked a surge of public interest. This paper examines the policy literature, notably World Health Organization archives and publications going back to the 1970s, to analyze the emergence and consolidation of this new agenda.
Starting with programs to control cardiovascular disease in the 1970s, experts from eastern and western Europe had by the late 1980s consolidated a program for the prevention of noncommunicable diseases risk factors at the WHO. These diseases remained a minor concern until the collaboration of World Bank health economists with WHO epidemiologists led to the Global Burden of Disease study that provided an “evidentiary breakthrough” for noncommunicable diseases activism by quantifying the extent of the problem.
Soon after, WHO itself underwent major reform. Noncommunicable diseases advocacy contributed to revitalizing WHO’s normative and coordinating functions. By leading a growing advocacy coalition, within which The Lancet played a key role, WHO established itself as a dominant institution in this domain. However, ever-widening concern and advocacy has not yet led to major reallocation of funding in favor of noncommunicable disease programs in the developing world.
We look forward to your participation in this hopefully exciting and inspiring event and we would love to see you as our guest in Copenhagen.

Organizing Committee President
