• Description:
  There is an urgent need to address the growing global burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), injury, and environmental hazards. Public health decision-makers need data to monitor trends and take effective action.
  
  The world is paying attention to the global impact of NCDs and in 2015, the United Nations set 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets to reach by 2030. The SDG Goal 3 specifies 13 health targets including NCDs, injury, and environmental health. Additionally, the WHO Global Monitoring Framework (GMF) sets 9 voluntary NCD targets to be achieved by 2025 (Fig 1).
  
  To meet these goals and targets, robust surveillance and monitoring systems are needed to systematically collect data, set priorities, monitor trends, track progress, and improve health outcomes.
