title: [Chronic Non Communicable Diseases and the support of intersectorial action to tackle them].
abstract: The study seeks to analyze the topic of Chronic Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and the role of intersectorial actions in tackling these diseases. It involved a narrative review through searches on Medline, Pubmed and Lilacs databases, and documents from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Brazilian government. The link between the theme of intersectoriality and NCD is reviewed in the Global Conferences and Agendas on Health Promotion, and the role of other sectors in relation to effective interventions for NCDs. Some experiences of intersectorial activities for tackling NCDs are presented. The conclusion drawn is that the implementation of intersectorial action in conjunction with sectorial health policies in tackling NCDs has become a political priority, involving coordinated actions, negotiations forums, integrated planning and sustainable funding. It is necessary to seek the active participation of social actors in the advocacy, monitoring and accountability process, coupled with training processes for managers and other professionals, which will give sustainability to the social processes and required changes. Intersectorial partnerships are fundamental.
