National Co-ordination
The Four Components
National Co-ordination
($4.4 million over 5 years)
Through this component, Health Canada acknowledges
and builds on the wide array of diabetes-related activities which
pre-date or are concurrent with the CDS. Examples include various
public information activities undertaken by the  Canadian
Diabetes Association (CDA), l'Association
diabète Québec (ADQ) and the Juvenile
Diabetes Foundation (JDF), research being conducted by the Canadian
Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and the efforts of the
other three components of the CDS (NDSS, P&P and ADI).
This component has the important functions of co-ordinating simultaneous
work, ensuring that duplication is kept to a minimum and helping
partners communicate with one another as effectively as possible.
In addition, the National Co-ordination component will assume responsibility
for evaluating the Strategy as a whole. By bringing diabetes stakeholders
together from across Canada, the Montreal symposium (February 18-20,
2001) served as an important stimulus to the work of this component.
