Sharing knowledge is a hallmark of the Cities Changing Diabetes
programme, and I’m pleased to share that even prospective members
benefit from our network's spirit. Last week, a delegation from the
‘Gezond en Gelukkig Den Haag’ (Healthy and Happy The Hague) coalition
in The Netherlands spent two days with practitioners from Tingbjerg
Changing Diabetes and the Aarhus social impact bond project.
The Coalition has applied for government funding to expand and
improve NCD prevention in one of the city’s most socially deprived
areas. Data mapping, programme design, stakeholder engagement, and
other preparation are underway so that if funding is approved in
August, intervention activities can immediately swing into
action.
The Hague coalition is exploring if some
planned interventions can be designed and packaged as social impact
investments to attract more funding from third parties
potentially.
You can hear more about The Hague’s ambitions and
preparations in the upcoming CCD Rounds webinar on 4 May, 15.00 – 16.00
CEST. Sign up here
