PCI, a Global Communities Partner, envisions a world in which the most vulnerable people will have the power to lift themselves out of poverty and to create vital, healthy lives for their families and communities now and for the future.
 
PCI works with the government as well as social actors to create an enabling environment to improve and activate the social position of marginalized populations, especially women and girls, as well as strengthen convergent actions on the ground.

By integrating its community mobilization and empowerment approaches into the government strategies and systems, PCI is helping to ensure that millions of vulnerable women, children, families, and communities throughout India have the ability to advocate for, access and utilize quality health, nutrition, and empowerment services and information for generations to come.
 
About ACTION to CHANGE TOGETHER (ACT) to minimize the risk of NCDs with a focus on Hypertension and Diabetes Project:
 
Each year, 15 million people die from NCDs between the ages of 30 and 69 years and over 85% of these premature deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries[1]. According to the National Center of the Biotechnology Information, the cumulative loss of national income for India due to non-communicable disease mortality for 2006–2015 is estimated to be $237 billion. A recent survey report by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), published in 2021, is showing an alarming rise of NCDs in India and is projecting that more than 2/3rd of the individuals suffering from NCDs are in the most productive life-age groups i.e. 26-59 years’ age. The ASSOCHAM survey has reported that the NCDs increase after 18 years of age and show a quantum leap when an individual crosses the age of 35 years. The survey also identified hypertension, digestive disease, and diabetes as the three top NCDs, and suggested that the prevalence of having any NCD among the population is 116 per 1000 population in India. Odisha has the highest prevalence of NCDs (272 per 1000 population) while Gujarat registered lowest prevalence (60 per 1000 population). Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and West Bengal also have higher prevalence than the national average. This necessitates state-specific strategies to tackle the NCDs.
 
PCI-India is collaborating with the health department of the Government of Odisha to support communities to minimize the risk of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) with a focus on Hypertension and Diabetes in four districts of Odisha. The project is focused on creating a community-based screening and referral model leveraging community institutions for health education on hypertension and diabetes and improving access to services and treatment provided by the government. The project plans to utilize the coverage of community institutions for health education on NCDs, establish community-level mechanisms for screening and referrals, monitor the conditions of patients with hypertension and diabetes, and improve referral and access to health services. It will cover three aspirational districts (Kandhamal, Koraput, Nuapada) of Odisha.
