IS4NCDs stands for “Capacity Building in Implementation Science Education for Non-Communicable Disease Prevention and Management in Africa.” It is a groundbreaking project aimed at tackling the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Africa.

On day 2 of the IS4NCDs Regional Consortium Meeting held in Johannesburg, consortium members presented and discussed an Implementation Roadmap covering three new intermediate training modules designed to equip health workers, researchers, and programme implementers with the practical skills needed to improve NCD outcomes at scale.

We’re thrilled to share key takeaways from our workshop, presented by Lisa Pfadenhauer, Marie Therese Schultes, and Judith van de Kamp on Day 1 of the IS4NCDs Regional Consortium Meeting, focusing on the didactic foundation and competency framework for Implementation Science in Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).

The IS4NCDs Regional Consortium Meeting is taking place from 4 to 8 May 2026 at the esteemed University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. This crucial five-day event will gather consortium members and dedicated educators…
