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:
- Developing global standards for noncommunicable disease surveillance and risk factor assessment, including standard methodologies for collecting, analysing, and displaying data.
- 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.
