Milestone 5

ECHoS undertook an internal mapping exercise to gain a comprehensive understanding of the specific characteristics of existing NCMH-like structures, strength and challenges of the countries who do not have a NCMH-like structure as well as to gather information on the perspectives of each country for the components and priorities of the future NCMH. This initiative lays the groundwork for informed discussions and the subsequent development of future NCMH concept models.

This report presents a summary of countries’ responses, encompassing a comprehensive analysis of organisational characteristics, governance frameworks, stakeholder engagement, funding sources, and activities undertaken by the existing NCMH-like structures and the perspectives for the future NCMH.
