Global Network Membership (GNM)

Background

UICC launched in 2010 the Global Network Membership (GNM) initiative to give a wider spectrum of cancer organisations the opportunity to be involved in the three priority areas of global cancer control:

Advocacy
Convening
Programmes

Although the GNM is no longer available, it offers members with affiliate organisations covered by this initiative, the opportunity to take part in exceptional events in the international arena. For example, the UN High-level Meeting on Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) and the re-draft of the Millennium Development Goals.

Why GNM is important

With a strong membership base UICC will increase its influence at the highest level in order to place cancer at the top of the global health agenda. For cancer-related organisations this will translate at the national level into policies that recognise cancer as a priority.

UICC’s work is guided by the World Cancer Declaration. The Declaration is a tool to help bring the growing cancer crisis to the attention of government leaders and health policy-makers in order to significantly reduce the global cancer burden by 2020 through 11 key targets. UICCcounts on its members to help usdeliver the 11 targets of the World Cancer Declaration by 2020.
