The main objective of the Surveillance, Monitoring and Reporting unit is to support the collection, analysis, and dissemination of country-level risk factor information to inform and improve public health policy. The Surveillance unit focuses on the following overall strategic areas:

  1. Developing global standards for noncommunicable disease surveillance and risk factor assessment, including standard methodologies for collecting, analysing, and displaying data.
  2. Providing support to countries (through WHO regional and country offices) and increasing their capacity to improve the quality of noncommunicable diseases and risk factor surveillance and information processes.
