This document provides an updated list of “best buys” and other recommended interventions to address noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). It is based on Appendix 3 of the Global action plan for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases 2013–2020 (1), which was first approved in 2013 (2) and last updated in 2017 (3). The global action plan, which was extended to 2030 by a World Health Assembly decision in 2019 (4) has six objectives (Box 1), the implementation of which at country level supports the attainment of the nine voluntary NCD targets (1), and facilitates the realization of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 on good health and well-being (5). The current update to Appendix 3 of the Global action plan was carried out in 2022. It addresses objectives 3 and 4 by presenting a menu of policy options, cost-effective and recommended interventions for each of the four key risk factors for NCDs (tobacco, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity) and for four disease areas (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and cancer). It also provides policy options related to the four other objectives.
