Exercise 1 If you had a chance to speak to US President Obama (*) for 2 minutes, what would you tell him about NCDs? * Or any other President or Prime-Minister from a G-20 country
Challenge 1 What is the point? We are not always clear WHY we speak, write or make a presentation
Challenge 2 We are trained to be logical, complete, accurate, evidence-based and fear being misunderstood.
Challenge 3 We tend to concentrate on what we know and don't always think of why our message is important to listeners, viewers or the audience …now
Scientists, experts and programme managers speak like this Challenge 4 Ministers and decision-makers speak like this "I need 30 minutes of your time to share 40 years of my accumulated technical expertise" "We must make the prevention and control NCDs and the improvement of maternal health top priorities on the development agenda" "Yesterday's article in the Lancet discusses the prevention of pre-eclampsia in diabetic women."
"Dear President Obama" • In all developing countries, and by any metric, NCDs now account for a large enough share of premature deaths and poverty to merit a concerted and coordinated public policy response. • A global vision and affordable solutions exist to prevent 8 million premature deaths from NCDs in developing countries each year. • At WHO, we witness how programme managers in developing countries are increasingly challenged to formulate effective strategies to address NCDs. Donors, like USAID, should start considering their requests for technical assistance, even if these problems are not included (yet) in the MDGs. • You and the other leaders of the G-20 have a unique opportunity to include NCDs in global development initiatives and related investment decisions at the NCD Summit 2011.
