We reviewed relevant literature for data sources and identified donor databases. We designed and conducted a detailed donor and recipient survey, using Survey Monkey, that was open to respondents for three months. In addition, we searched official databases of major bilateral and multilateral donors for NCD-specific projects, including the OECD/DAC/CRS; we also reviewed WHO and development bank budgetary documents. We followed up with phone calls and email inquiries where the databases and survey responses were ambiguous or too general. We made customized requests for information to the Foundation Center and through personal contacts in the NCD community. The full details of the data sources and collection methods are in Appendix II (Detailed methodology) and Appendix III (Foundation Center Search Protocol). For the purposes of this paper, “non-communicable diseases” refers to all Type 2 diseases under the WHO classification of diseases (Table 3). This category is substantially more inclusive than what is often referred to in the NCD policy and advocacy literature, which generally focuses on the four major NCD causes of death: heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder.
