48 WG2: Policy, Health System Response and Priority Setting Review the interventions likely to make an impact on the NCDI burden. Assemble data regarding the size of the effects due to these interventions (both on health and poverty) and what is known about their cost. Draw lessons about commonalities in intervention integration pathways based on the work on the national NCDI Poverty Commissions.
