Participants learn about participatory planning, consensus building, and the common criteria for prioritizing public health problems. After approximately 90 minutes of an interactive, facilitator-led discussion, participants are asked to identify four non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and risk factors of importance in their country and reach consensus on the two highest priority NCDs on which to focus prevention and control efforts.

Note: The facilitator guide contains copies of all slides and guidelines on what to say and do for each slide.  It also contains the skill assessment (i.e., exercise) and potential answers.

The participant guide contains copies of all slides, some key points, a place to take notes, and all exercises.
