Group participated in June 2016 Pacific NCD Summit in in Tonga. 2 6 GCM/NCD Communities of Practice (CoPs), or virtual networks, are online safe spaces for knowledge sharing collaborative learning. Each CoP has a specific governing body, usually based in an academic institution always supported by technical focal points, which guides verifies information shared in discussions, webinars or modalities. All CoPs are multi stakeholder multisectoral. Thematic CoPs produce reports or outputs such as tools which can be shared with national focal points, convened in a special CoP for implementers of NCD action. The national focal points may also suggest creation of a new matic CoP to address a bottleneck or enabling factor that y identify in ir own discussions. This system connects supply dem, country-level implementation with willing able stakeholders keen to drive accelerate country-led NCD action. 30.
