Welcome to the 2019 Annual Report of UICC in which we highlight the incredible work of the UICC community, members and partners around the world. It was another year of progress and I applaud everyone who committed to fight cancer in their own country.

I am extremely proud to have been the UICC President in 2019. I have met so many UICC members around the world who are individually doing so much to help cancer patients through their treatment and persuade governments to invest more in cancer control. We truly have an amazing community who approach every day with passion and optimism. As difficult as the challenge of cancer control is, I believe we will make breakthroughs in future years that will reduce the number of cases and see more people survive a cancer diagnosis.

There have been so many highlights in 2019 that I cannot talk about them all, but I do encourage you to read this report and see how UICC has worked with many people to bring value to its membership. Let me talk through a couple of highlights.

In January 2019, UICC launched the City Cancer Challenge, based in Geneva, Switzerland, as a standalone Foundation with a new Board of Directors. I am so proud of the Foundation which has grown from an idea in 2016 to becoming a wonderful organisation helping cities around the world improve cancer treatment and care for their communities. It is innovative and it will have a major impact on cancer control in the future.

In October, the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit took place in Nur-Sultan in Kazakhstan, hosted by the Kazakh Institute of Oncology and Radiology (KazIOR). More than 350 global leaders in cancer control attended three wonderful days of discussion and debate on the theme of Universal Health Coverage and cancer. It was a great learning and networking opportunity and I left the event inspired by the energy we were able to generate among the leaders of the cancer community.

I would like to thank my amazing Board of Directors who have contributed so positively to the oversight of UICC, the Geneva team under the leadership of Dr Cary Adams, who once again produced a meaningful year, and the army of volunteers who helped deliver the suite of services which UICC provides its members on all aspects of cancer control.

Page 5: 2019 Annual Report · 2020-07-02 · Welcome to the 2019 Annual Report of UICC in which we highlight the incredible . work of the UICC community, members and partners around the world.

In September 2019, I celebrated my 10th anniversary working for UICC. I remain indebted to the Board of Directors who appointed me as Chief Executive Officer in September 2009. It has been an incredible experience helping an organisation grow, increase its impact and become a globally respected health organisation.

Successive Boards have led by example, making great decisions, supporting the management and helping us conclude 2019 with a thriving membership base of 1,198 organisations in 173 countries. Our community is extraordinary, and we are all proud to be part of it.

In 2019, we deepened our working relationships with our partners. As HRH Princess Dina Mired mentioned in her message, we launched the City Cancer Challenge Foundation, and this became the fourth organisation UICC has been instrumental in creating in the last ten years: we established the McCabe Centre for Law & Cancer with Cancer Council Victoria in 2013; working with many others, we launched the International Cancer Control Partnership in 2016; and we are a founding member of the NCD Alliance, which became a standalone NGO in 2017. Each organisation is thriving and making an important contribution to global health.

Financially, we concluded the year in a sound position with reserve levels covering at least three months of annual operating costs, and our accounts received a clean audit from our auditors, PwC.

As I write this commentary, we are in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic that is causing significant challenges across the UICC community and will no doubt affect our abilities to raise funds in the future as the economic consequences roll out. We are working extremely hard to help UICC members through the crisis.

I would like to thank HRH Princess Dina Mired and the Board of Directors for their leadership in 2019 and the amazing staff at UICC who inspire me every day.

Membership

The year 2019 saw UICC’s membership grow by 109 to a total of 1,198, making the global network stronger and more connected than ever. This was highlighted when 120 members, as well as partners, gathered in Kazakhstan for the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit to discuss and advance global cancer control.

The year started with the launch of the “I Am and I Will” World Cancer Day campaign, with members utilising UICC’s online resources to create some of the most memorable images and calls for action in their own countries.

Many members engaged in Capacity Building activities, with a special focus on the needs of organisations in different regions. Full member organisations convened in Singapore to discuss topics relevant to the Asia and the Pacific Islands region at the Leadership in Action Meeting in March. Leadership in Action meetings were held in Oman (Middle East and North Africa), Senegal (Francophone Africa) and Mexico City (Latin America).

Other occasions for member engagement included networking opportunities at The Economist's War on Cancer events in Singapore, Dubai, Mexico and London. UICC supported members’ conferences included the China Anti-Cancer Association (CACA) Conference, Advanced Breast Cancer Conference (ABC), the International Society of Paediatric Oncology Conference (SIOP) and the African Organisation for Research and Training in Cancer Conference (AORTIC).

Membership survey

UICC conducted its biennial membership survey to take the pulse of member organisations’ interaction and satisfaction with UICC. Responses help shape a better membership experience by reflecting on the challenges that members face, and enable UICC to adapt and develop plans and activities accordingly. Responses were overwhelmingly positive, and it was humbling to learn that practically all members would recommend UICC to another organisation.

Members define what UICC is. It is encouraging to be the recipient of such support and see members engaged and proud to be a part of UICC. A wide-reaching membership base is UICC’s strongest asset and it is crucial in enabling UICC to act as a global health leader.

Partnerships

Delivering impact for cancer care through strategic partnerships

Reliable support from trusted partners has been key to delivering UICC’s objectives for the year. In 2019, partners continued to play a vital part in strengthening the nexus between empowering UICC’s membership base and longer-term advocacy work to keep cancer as a priority on the global health and development agenda.

UICC’s current portfolio of partnerships includes UN agencies, organisations launched by UICC (City Cancer Challenge Foundation, NCD Alliance, McCabe Centre for Law & Cancer), cancer organisations, foundations and private sector companies.

UICC has increasingly developed long-term commitments based on shared values and in support of the implementation of its business plan. More specifically, UICC successfully worked with its partners in convening key decision leaders through regional and global platforms around critical topics such as Universal Health Coverage (UHC), building and strengthening the capacity of its members, prioritising a portfolio of activities on women’s cancers and advocating for policy solutions to improve cancer care by focusing on different themes (i.e. tobacco control, access to essential medicines and technologies for cancer).

UICC deepened partnerships with all sectors and welcomed new partners such as Biocon Biologics, CUBEBIO, Diaceutics, Friends of Cancer Patients, Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (Mexico), KazIOR, McKinsey, National Cancer Center - Korea (NCCK), Sure, Inc. and Qatar Airways. These organisations have decided to work hand-in-hand with UICC to make a difference for cancer patients worldwide by providing expertise, access to resources, knowledge sharing and financial support, which have enabled UICC to become even more relevant in scope and impact.

Their commitments play an essential role in reaching UICC’s vision for a world in which no one dies from a preventable cancer and everyone has access to affordable treatment and care.

Shaping the future of cancer care: UICC’s Public-Private Dialogue series

Responding to the growing interest across the cancer community for dialogue between the public and private sectors to better tackle the major challenges affecting cancer control, UICC launched in 2019 the Public-Private Dialogues (PPD) series. This is a platform for UICC partners to engage in solution-seeking conversations that address crucial topics of interest for the cancer community, together with key professionals, leaders and decision makers in a multisectoral approach.

The 2019 PPDs have been supported by UICC partners: Astellas, the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP), Children’s Cancer Center of Lebanon, European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD), Novartis, Pfizer Oncology and Roche.

Partnerships

UICC successfully launched in 2019 five PPDs in different regions of the world. They focused on a diverse range of topics such as elevating the patient voice in healthcare systems, financing and practical steps with regards to setting up national cancer control planning, addressing the equity gap for women in cancer and how to ensure access to cancer medicines.

World Cancer Day 20192019 marked the beginning of a multifaceted, three-year campaign centred on the theme “I Am and I Will”, which leveraged all traditional and digital communication vectors and channels. The new theme calls for commitment and action, acting as a reminder that each person has a role to play in reducing the impact of cancer.

Close to 1,000 activities in 127 countries took place on World Cancer Day in 2019. 37 cities illuminated 55 landmarks and 62 government leaders responded with strengthened support and commitment. Supporters around the world also made their voices heard with over 700,000 social media posts in recognition of the day, which helped the campaign to trend globally on Twitter.

World Cancer Day’s press story on early detection, screening and diagnosis became the primary news of the day with over 15,000 articles in 154 countries. These appeared in leading media outlets such as CGTN, Euronews, France 24, Independent, Le Figaro, Newsweek, The Australian and The Guardian.

Positive and productive dialogue was also a key feature of World Cancer Day 2019, including an insightful exchange hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations between UICC CEO, Dr Cary Adams, and Nobel-Prize winner, Harold Varmus, on closing the global cancer divide.

Partners

With special thanks to World Cancer Day campaign sponsors: Astellas, Diaceutics, Daiichi-Sankyo, MSD, Bristol Myers Squibb, Merck and Roche.

“The mission of Daiichi Sankyo Cancer Enterprise is to leverage our world-class, innovative science and push beyond traditional thinking to create meaningful treatments for patients with cancer. We are dedicated to transforming science into value for patients, and this sense of obligation informs everything we do. We are proud sponsors of UICC’s efforts in bringing meaningful treatments and awareness for World Cancer Day on 4th February.”

Antoine Yver, MD MSc, Exec VP Global Head Oncology RD, Daiichi-Sankyo

Among the many other highlights of the 2019 World Cancer Day campaign was UICC’s collaboration with Universal Music Group and their recording artists, including Grammy winners Alessia Cara and will.i.am as well as TIME 100 Most Influential People of 2018 honouree, Shawn Mendes. The initiative represented a fresh approach by UICC to reach out to new audiences and achieve greater awareness around the day. In total, the video received over half a million YouTube views within five days of its launch.

Altogether, these and other key initiatives drove more than 300,000 unique visitors to the newly created multilingual World Cancer Day website, where over 120,000 campaign materials were downloaded and shared.

World Cancer Day proved again in 2019 to be a powerful global platform for the international cancer community, creating a level of reach, engagement and coverage that only a truly collective effort can achieve. In 2019, this was officially recognised by the International Associations Awards, shortlisting the World Cancer Day 2019 campaign for the most “Effective Voice of the Year”.

World Cancer Leaders’ SummitFollowing the first UN High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage (UHC), which took place in New York in September 2019, over 350 global leaders from more than 80 countries came together on 15th-17th October for the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. The meeting focused on the expansion of access to essential, quality services for cancer patients worldwide as part of the global drive to achieve UHC. The three-day event had a highly distinguished programme of speakers and participants, who shared clear and inspiring examples of how stakeholders are contributing to building the strong health systems required to deliver UHC, so that no cancer patient is left behind.

The Summit also served as a platform to launch the third and latest edition of the Cancer Atlas, an initiative led by the American Cancer Society, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and UICC. The theme “Access Creates Progress” highlights the latest statistics and information on cancer control.

At the Summit dinner held at the Astana Opera, His Excellency Dr Tabaré Vázquez, President of Uruguay, was announced as the winner of the inaugural UICC Award for Outstanding Contribution to Cancer Control. The other two shortlisted nominees were Professor Ian Hector Frazer, Affiliate Professorial Research Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience, University of Queensland, and Chair of the Australian Medical Research Advisory Board; and His Excellency Mr Edgar Chagwa Lungu, President of Zambia.

Advocate for governments to fulfil existing commitments to advance cancer control, including the 2017 World Health Assembly cancer resolution, the Global Action Plan on NCDs and UN Political Declarations;

Champion the strengthening of health systems to meet the needs of patients and collaborate with other health communities to ensure the building blocks of health systems, including access to reliable data, a trained health workforce and access to essential diagnostics, medicines, vaccines and technologies;

Engage with national UHC multi-stakeholder mechanisms and advocate for governments to meet the spending target of an additional 1% of GDP invested in health, alongside mobilising other resources for UHC implementation.

Dr Adams emphasised that UHC is feasible in every country and that the entire cancer community will have a role to play as a key partner to government in delivering UHC. He called on governments, civil society, international organisations and private sector partners to engage with the growing UHC movement to ensure that the required resources can be leveraged to drive effective investments in countries and ensure that no cancer patient is left behind.

The next Summit will take place in Boston, United States on 25th-27th October 2021 and will be hosted by the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP).

“UHC without quality care is an empty promise. Poor quality care contributes to many of the costs. Tackling poor quality care is important for UHC, both to improve health outcomes as well as for improving financial sustainability.”

Ms Francesca Colombo, Head of the Health Division, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)

During his closing address, Dr Cary Adams called on the Summit’s participants to:

As UICC’s membership base around the world continues to expand, it is important that there is a growing emphasis and importance on providing opportunities for UICC’s member organisations to develop the skills, knowledge and networks they need to achieve and increase their impact in their own contexts and countries. UICC has therefore continued to develop its suite of capacity building services, which are delivered sensitively region by region, in different languages and more frequently at local events. The membership plays an active role in helping UICC provide information, guidance, materials and training across its network and, as a result, the cancer community as a whole becomes stronger. The following section highlights some of the work that has been done in 2019 with members and partners.

Developing leaders: CEO Programme

UICC has continued to expand and strengthen its CEO Programme, first launched in 2016 at the World Cancer Congress. A knowledge partnership with McKinsey & Company was established in 2019, bringing insights from one of the world’s leading management consulting firms to the CEOs and leaders of UICC’s member organisations. In addition, the CEO Programme was featured for the first time at the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit, in Kazakhstan in October 2019, with a workshop on “strategic foresight”, a disruptive and participatory organisational planning approach concerned with “creating the future” rather than simply predicting it. Aligned with UICC’s ambition to support the development of leadership capacities, CEOs also had the opportunity to benefit from aligned activities, including a workshop on how to effectively communicate in culturally diverse settings, led by the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP).

Capacity Building

UICC extended the reach and impact of its Capacity Building programmes in 2019, by supporting more individuals and organisations in the cancer community through new calls for applications, scaling-up activities to new regions and events, developing collaborations and partnerships and investing in foundational elements such as monitoring and evaluation.

“We at McKinsey are proud to partner with UICC to build and improve leadership skills of cancer organisations around the world. We look forward to making a difference and I am excited about this new opportunity to work with UICC.”

Björn Albrecht, Partner, McKinsey & Company

Leadership in Action meetingsThe first Leadership in Action meetings were held in 2017 and brought together senior leaders of UICC members at a regional level to foster peer support networks and enable an exchange of experiences on regional priorities and challenges. Building on this success, four meetings were held in 2019 in the Asia Pacific, Eastern Mediterranean, Latin American and Francophone Africa regions. Each meeting was hosted by UICC members and welcomed approximately 50 organisations from the region. The events also supported multi-stakeholder discussions through UICC’s Public-Private Dialogue series, covering topics such as financing the implementation of National Cancer Control Plans and patients as partners in shaping cancer care. Twenty leaders from across these regions have subsequently been awarded a “Leadership Development Grant”, allowing them to visit another organisation and develop connections made at the meetings.

“I appreciate the wisdom of collective sharing and networking between like-minded leaders from other countries. This facilitates future collaboration for common causes in the region.”

Young Leaders programmeIn August 2019, UICC announced the selection of eight aspiring young cancer professionals as UICC Young Leaders for the 2019/2020 cohort, following a highly competitive selection process, with 145 applications received from all over the world - the most received to date. They will join a community of 43 alumni, benefitting from dedicated updates and opportunities to share achievements and good practices.

The eight selected Young Leaders for 2019/2020 represent six different countries and diverse areas of focus, from tobacco control to women’s health. Their programme began with an immersive three days at the World Cancer Leaders' Summit in Kazakhstan in October 2019, and will continue throughout 2020 with extensive opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, access to exclusive webinars on priority aspects of cancer control, and networking with experienced leaders and Young Leader alumni.

This cohort will also be the first to benefit from access to the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP)’s Leadership Institute through an eLearning programme.

Fellowships

UICC’s established fellowship programmes aim to facilitate the international exchange of knowledge and skills, thereby helping to strengthen and increase the capacity of the global cancer health workforce. With a strong focus on the fostering of regional networks and the development of long-term international collaborations, 2019 was another successful year, with a total of 144 applications received from 37 different countries. Seventy-two cancer professionals were subsequently awarded a fellowship, giving them the opportunity to visit and learn from another organisation, developing important new skills and knowledge in all aspects of cancer control. Applications were received from around the world, including countries such as Lebanon, Philippines, Slovakia and Togo.

Grants

In 2019, the SPARC Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) Challenge, supported by Pfizer Oncology, entered the third round of the programme. It extended its reach and support to a total of 51 organisations, committed to address the unmet needs of metastatic breast cancer patients worldwide. Following a competitive selection process, 11 new organisations from 10 countries were announced as award winners on Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day in October 2019. This brings the total funding provided to support cancer organisations in this area to USD 1.58m since the launch of the programme in 2015. The 2019 awardees will launch new projects tackling the needs of MBC patients in their communities, addressing the gap in information and support, raising awareness and contributing to the strengthening of the national health system.

“Very simply, without the SPARC grant, the training and navigational programme we launched in 2018 would not have been possible. The credibility of UICC, the networks we gained across the world, the mentorship through conferences and webinars and of course the financial support enabled us to open many doors.”

Cancer Advocates programme (Treatment for All)

2019 was a significant year for the Cancer Advocates programme, previously known as Treatment for All and recently renamed to better reflect the focus and content of the learning initiatives being delivered as part of the programme. Following overwhelming interest from the first call for applications in 2018 to join the programme, 17 new organisations from low- and middle-income countries were announced as Country Champions on World Cancer Day 2019, bringing the total to 20 organisations. Drawing on a combination of guided peer-to-peer learning, tailored resources, an in-person workshop and facilitated mentorship opportunities, the programme enables UICC members to improve the knowledge and skills they need to be effective advocates, raising the profile of cancer and advancing progress in their countries. A new call for applications is planned for end 2020.

“We could definitely impact lives… One feels lost and isolated in this little corner of the globe, having to be the umbrella body and everyone expecting us to do it all... No partners or bigger co-organisations to benchmark with really... The call the other day inspired me again.”

Engaging regionally

As a key priority in UICC’s Business Plan and in direct response to its members, UICC is committed across the organisation to regionalise its activities and opportunities, increasing the reach and impact of its members over the coming years. With this lens applied across the Capacity Building programmes, existing activities are being tailored for and made more accessible to all regions, and new regional flagship initiatives are being developed to address identified gaps. In 2019, activities included organising the four regional Leadership in Action meetings in collaboration with the CEO Programme, making a significant contribution to the China Conference of Oncology in August as part of a partnership with the China Anti-Cancer Association (CACA), leading a workshop in Francophone Africa regarding the development of a partnership for women’s cancers in Africa, and scaling up the Patient Groups Mentoring programme in the Asia Pacific region.

Case Study

Capacity Building in Francophone Africa

The 2016 World Cancer Congress held in Paris featured a Master course focused on palliative care delivered in French and was accompanied by the launch of a specific offer for Francophone Africa. The presence and support of a number of First Ladies from Francophone Africa further increased momentum.

In 2017, the Bourses pour l’Afrique francophone (“Grants for Francophone Africa”) were launched as an adaptation of the established Technical Fellowships programme. This was in direct response to a paucity of applications from the region, with only five fellowships awarded from Francophone Africa in 2015 and 2016. Over the next two years, the creation of this tailored programme and its promotion led to 71 applications from this sub-region, with 31 subsequently awarded.

Since then, considerable efforts have been deployed to ensure scale-up and continuity of this support, with continued promotion and tailored 1-2-1 guidance to facilitate access and engagement in key opportunities opportunities, benefitting the community and strengthening cancer control

in the region. 2019 specifically saw a significant engagement of organisations, with the selection of the Fondation Kimi in Burkina Faso and Ligue Sénégalaise Contre le Cancer (LISCA) in Senegal as Country Champions in the Cancer Advocates programme. The first Leadership in Action meeting was also held in June in Dakar, Senegal, with follow-up networking opportunities made available through the Leadership Development Grants, strengthening advocacy and awareness-raising skills related to women’s cancers.

Alongside the Leadership in Action meeting, a workshop was held to explore opportunities for the development of a partnership for women’s cancers in Africa, for which there is a particularly high burden in the region. At the end of 2019, UICC was also delighted to announce the approval of the SUCCESS project, founded by Unitaid, as part of a consortium led by Expertise France. This project focuses on the scale-up of secondary prevention measures for cervical cancer in four countries, including two from West Africa (Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast; the others are the Philippines and Guatemala).

Tsetsegsaikhan Batmunkh (Tsegi) is the Founder and CEO of the National Cancer Council of Mongolia, the only civil society organisation representing cancer in Mongolia, founded in 2014. She was selected as a Young Leader in 2016.

In 2019, Tsegi‘s organisation was selected as a Country Champion for the Cancer Advocates programme. The initial advocacy priorities of her organisation were to raise awareness, conduct studies about HPV vaccination, HPV screening and to promote tobacco control awareness and increased taxation. Through the Cancer Advocates programme, however, advocacy priorities have been reconsidered, with focus being expanded to childhood cancer, an area in which Mongolia needs to accelerate progress. The National Cancer Council of Mongolia can help the national government achieve great strides. The supporting objectives of the new advocacy priority are the development of a childhood cancer control plan and the improvement of

the childhood cancer registry. As part of this effort, the National Cancer Council of Mongolia organised a Health Forum in conjunction with the 2019 World Children's Day. The Forum was an unprecedented gathering where national discussion around childhood cancer aimed to raise awareness on the issue and engage in long-term collaborations with the Ministry of Health, health organisations, parent representatives, international organisations and the media.

In March 2019, Tsegi attended the Leadership in Action meeting for the Asia Pacific region in Singapore and was subsequently awarded a Leadership Development grant. This enabled her to visit the VCS Foundation in Australia where she learned about a new approach to cervical cancer screening, integrating the latest advances in self-sampling, HPV screening and digital health. She then developed a proposal for a HPV screening pilot project in Mongolia and continues to collaborate with the VCS Foundation.

At the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit in October 2019, Tsegi presented her country’s specific challenges in defining national UHC packages at a plenary session, reminding participants that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work when it comes to health services. As an alumnus of the Young Leaders programme, Tsegi also welcomed the new 2019/2020 cohort of Young Leaders as they started their journey at the Summit.

Tsegi acknowledged:

“My visit to VCS Foundation Limited in Australia was fundamental to learn about new innovative human centred approaches of cervical cancer screening.”

TNMFor over 60 years, UICC has managed the TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours, the most widely used system to classify the anatomical extent of cancer. In 2019, UICC published the fifth edition of the “TNM Supplement: A Commentary of Uniform Use”, which extends and clarifies the UICC TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours. The TNM Project also released TNM e-learning modules in Spanish, in partnership with ecancer.

International Cancer Control Partnership (ICCP)Since 2012, the ICCP has united over 20 organisations and coordinated activities and resources to enhance global cancer control. Following the 2018 global review of national cancer control plans (NCCPs), the ICCP has expanded its technical assistance offer to provide detailed reviews of NCCPs.

PublicationsInternational collaboration was key for UICC’s publications in 2019. The third edition of the “Cancer Atlas”, launched by UICC, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the American Cancer Society under the theme of “Access Creates Progress” provides basic information on the global burden of the disease in an accessible format. “Cancer control in Africa: paving the way to Universal Health Coverage”, published with the African Organisation for Research and Training (AORTIC) and the ICCP, is the first publication on cancer control and UHC in Africa. Volume III of “Cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa”, published jointly with the African Cancer Registry Network and IARC, presents statistics on cancer incidence from 31 cancer registries in 22 countries across Africa.

Journal of Global Oncology (JGO) The Journal of Global Oncology, launched in partnership with the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in 2015 is an open-access journal that provides a platform for sharing innovations, best practice and programmatic success in cancer control in resource-limited settings.

International Journal of Cancer (IJC) An official publication of UICC, the International Journal of Cancer (IJC) focuses on fundamental studies that improve the understanding of the mechanisms of cancer and shed light on effective diagnostic tools and treatments. In 2019, Prof. Christoph Plass of the German Cancer Research Center became the Editor-in-Chief of the IJC. UICC, IJC and Wiley joined forces to promote IJC articles via social media on key health awareness days with a view to increase the visibility of the journal and promote attention to key cancer control topics. For example, UICC promoted a virtual issue on men’s cancers in November for the Movember campaign with paid Twitter posts that received 57,000 impressions and 1,124 clicks. This directed traffic to the IJC website, which received as a result 340 visits, 628 page views and access to 200 full-text articles.

Cancer control in Africa: paving the way to Universal Health CoverageFrom 4th-8th of November 2019, UICC participated in the AORTIC conference held in Maputo, Mozambique. HRH Princess Dina Mired was invited to give a speech on cancer control in the presence of the First Lady of Mozambique and representatives from the Ministry of Health. At the opening ceremony, the publication “Cancer control in Africa: paving the way to Universal Health Coverage” was launched. The publication involved input from experts and key stakeholders from different countries in the African region and worldwide. In addition, UICC staff facilitated a plenary session on NCCPs, and gave presentations on the work of UICC and other key partnerships and initiatives on which UICC is collaborating, including the ICCP.

On 23rd September 2019, UN Member States participated in the first High-Level Meeting (HLM) on Universal Health Coverage (UHC). This was a milestone for the global health community, as it saw all governments recommit to UHC in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals and adopt a high-level framework for its development and implementation nationally.

UICC worked closely with members around the world to formulate a call for the inclusion of essential cancer services within national benefit packages and financial protection schemes. This recognises that cancer is the second leading cause of mortality globally, therefore it must be included in efforts to achieve UHC. Preparations for the meeting provided an opportunity to work closely with advocates from other NCD organisations and build relationships through participation in the UHC 2030 group. The final Political Declaration includes a specific reference to cancer as well as strong language supporting a comprehensive, health-systems response to cancer and other NCDs.

Over the course of the year, UICC worked to strengthen and increase advocacy collaborations. This included reflecting on and refining how UICC engages with its advocacy network, hosting a World Health Assembly (WHA) side-event on data and UHC with representatives from across the health community, and the creation of an informal Geneva NCD Advocates Group. This group aims to improve coordination on NCD advocacy in Geneva around key events and discussions, such as the proposed reforms to the engagement of Non-States Actors with the World Health Organization (WHO).

A consistent emphasis on building strong and resilient health systems, with timely access to quality medicines and technologies, will be essential to successfully reach health-related SDGs. In this regard, UICC’s work on increasing access to medicines for cancer included supporting WHO and Member States at the World Health Assembly with statements on the WHO-led Roadmap to Access and the resolution on Improving the transparency of markets for medicines, vaccines, and other health-related technologies proposed by many Member States.

Affordable cancer treatment has recently been the topic of discussion by policymakers, civil society, and industry. Taking this momentum forward, a Public-Private Dialogue was organised at the 2019 World Cancer Leaders’ Summit, focusing on identifying and raising awareness on key barriers and prioritising policy directions and health sector solutions to improve access to medicines. It provided a platform for all key stakeholders to come together and to focus on solutions in a constructive, evidence-based dialogue.

Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in successful outcomes in cancer care. In this regard, UICC’s work has expanded into supporting global access to quality-assured in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) for cancer care and highlighting its importance in early diagnosis. UICC also raised awareness of the need for the development of universal cancer screening assays.

Increasing advocacy

“Collaboration on advocacy for NCDs is critical to see real action both at the global level and in countries. During the past year, the World Heart Federation has worked closely with UICC, the NCD Alliance and other Geneva-based NCD organisations to hold mission briefings with member states. We are delighted to see the participation in these events growing with constructive dialogue on priority NCD and global health topics.”

The 144th WHO Executive Board in January 2019 saw the approval of a formal decision to task the Director General with developing and consulting Member States on a Global Strategy for elimination of cervical cancer. This is a milestone in the global fight against cancer as the first public declaration to eliminate a specific cancer. It represents a unique opportunity to step up collective efforts to save millions of women’s lives this century.

The WHO-led Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative, with which UICC is partnering, accelerated consulting activities in all regions of the world as well as launching new resources such as a toolkit on improving data for decision-making in cervical cancer prevention programmes, guidance on thermal ablation of precancerous lesions, and initiating new guidelines on HPV-testing.

UICC is also proud to be part of the Expertise France-led consortium, which was one of only two parties selected to develop a Unitaid project to implement innovative, affordable screening and treatment to prevent cervical cancer in high-burden settings.

2019 saw Unitaid announce commitments of over USD 50m and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria promote that country submissions, due in their next cycle of funding, are able to include cervical cancer services - in recognition of the strong linkage between HPV and HIV infection. The year also saw increased cross-UN agency coordination, for example consultation on support strategies for HPV vaccine procurement beyond GAVI alliance eligible countries. Finally, the draft WHO 2020-2030 “Global strategy towards eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem” was submitted in a timely manner with the goal of adoption at the World Health Assembly in May 2020.

UICC believes that civil society can play a significant role in delivering the 90:70:90 targets contained in the WHO elimination strategy. Members around the world are energised and mobilised at a national level. They are focused on integrated approaches and collaborating with counterparts in reproductive health and HIV-AIDS to address inequities both between and within countries.

“This is a significant moment in history for addressing cancer globally. For the first time ever, a generation is making a global statement that it can eliminate cervical cancer. It is an event that must be fully appreciated by civil society. We need new impactful partnerships to respond in alignment with the enormity of the opportunity we have before us.”

A year on from the launch of City Cancer Challenge (C/Can) as an independent foundation, nine cities across four continents are now working with C/Can to identify cancer care gaps and develop evidence-based solutions that respond to local needs.

By the end of 2019, seven cities had identified priority projects to develop and harmonise the quality of core cancer diagnostic and treatment services, including in pathology, radiology, nuclear medicine, surgery, radiotherapy, medical oncology, and palliative and supportive care.

Investment in training and capacity building has been a priority. To date, 98 experts have delivered technical assistance to 680 healthcare professionals, including in quality standards for pathology and multidisciplinary care.

Other key achievements include:

• A landmark public-private partnership in Paraguay to optimise pathology reporting - an innovation that has the potential to be scaled to cities around the world.

• Locally-adapted guidelines for managing patients with invasive breast and cervical cancers, and policies to ensure that cancer patients in Cali, Asuncion and Yangon are treated following a multidisciplinary approach.

• An in-depth analysis to quantify the demand for cancer services in Yangon to assess the opportunity to expand treatment capacity and infrastructure in three of the city’s public hospitals.

The year ahead will see further efforts to connect and mobilise C/Can’s network of more than 60 partners and 125 organisations from across disciplines and sectors, and to support cities as they work to strengthen the quality of cancer care. 2020 will also mark the next phase of building the C/Can community with the launch of the City of Tomorrow campaign ahead of the new global call for cities in October.

NCD Alliance

ncdalliance.org

2019 saw many achievements for the NCD Alliance (NCDA). It notably defined five advocacy priorities ahead of the UN High-Level Meeting on UHC, which are well reflected in the Political Declaration that was adopted. NCDA co-hosted several events before the High-Level Meeting, and was active at the WHO Executive Board meeting and World Health Assembly, delivering 12 statements and hosting seven events.

NCDA also organised the third Global NCD Alliance Forum, and the second Global Week for Action on NCDs, which reached millions of people in about 100 countries.

NCDA’s work spanned broad areas, including air pollution and mental health. It hosted various events and webinars on both topics, and published numerous reports. Women’s health rights and trans fatty acids elimination were two other advocacy focus areas. For the third consecutive year, the Advocacy Institute, which is a NCDA project, supported the growth of alliances and contributed to fast-tracking NCDA advocacy efforts at national and regional levels. NCDA partnered with BBC StoryWorks to produce a short documentary series on the real stories of people living with NCDs and solutions to the NCD pandemic. The series, “Turning the Tide”, features 26 films from 24 countries.

NCDA’s strength and success comes from its global network of national and regional NCD alliances, which grew from 59 in 2018 to 65 in 2019.

Through its unique focus on advancing law to fight cancer and NCDs, the McCabe Centre for Law & Cancer had a global impact in 2019.

A total of 41 government officials and policymakers from low- and middle-income countries took part in the McCabe Centre’s International Legal Training Program throughout the year, including a first-ever Executive Workshop.

With ongoing support from the McCabe Centre, participants from previous trainings – known as McCabe Centre alumni – made significant strides to prevent and control cancer and NCDs in their countries. Alumni helped successfully defend tobacco control laws from legal challenges in Kenya, Uganda, and Malaysia; pass new tobacco control laws and regulations in Samoa, Uganda, and Niue; develop e-cigarette regulations in the Philippines; adopt comprehensive alcohol control laws in Vietnam; and initiate a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in the Solomon Islands.

In Australia, where the McCabe Centre is based, it was awarded a three-year grant from the Australian Government Department of Health to support its work for the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) Knowledge Hub on Legal Challenges.

McCabe Centre contributed its legal expertise to various external publications and worked with the University of Melbourne on a new Master of Cancer Sciences programme. The McCabe Centre also completed its first year as a WHO Collaborating Centre on Law and Noncommunicable Disease in 2019.

To cap off the year, the McCabe Centre launched its new brand identity and website, which will help execute the Centre’s Strategic Plan 2018-2022 and solidify its reputation as the only organisation of its kind in the world.

The 2019 financial results were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in April 2020 and the UICC Board of Directors approved the audit report on its meeting held 14th-15th May 2020.

The organisation’s financials are overseen by UICC Treasurer Jeff Dunn, who also leads the Finance, Risk and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Finance, Risk and Audit Committee replaced the Finance Committee in 2019 to widen its mandate and further its responsibility to oversee the risk and internal audits of the organisation. The work of the Committee in 2019 concentrated on defining its role to increase the governance responsibility of the Board in the financial management of the organisation, while ensuring that risk and audit are duly reported to the Board to enable good decisions and transparency.

Operational expenditure in 2019 was managed in line with budget. There were delays, however, in receiving some income at the end of the year, which means reporting a small loss in the accounts. The programmatic budgets were run diligently and UICC received outstanding support from its partners. They have given UICC the ability to improve the support provided to members and the cancer community in general.

The reserve levels remain at three months of operating costs as of end 2019 and there are enough carryover funds to continue the work UICC does for and on behalf of its members.

2019 was a transition year as the City Cancer Challenge initiative became a stand-alone foundation in January 2019. UICC invested CHF 50,000 in the newly created City Cancer Challenge Foundation, providing the initial capital for its creation.
