UICC members around the world Members benefit by connecting globally through UICC signature events, including the World Cancer Congress, World Cancer Leaders’ Summit and World Cancer Day. They forge international partnerships and connect with the broader non-communicable disease (NCD) community. UICC members are able to amplify their collective voices and hold governments accountable for their commitments to cancer control. Figure 1 on page 10 highlights the geographical distribution of members at the end of 2020. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, UICC quickly re-purposed its work to help members navigate the uncertainties and challenges that the pandemic had created. It transitioned from face-to-face to virtual platforms, implemented a new series of Virtual Dialogues on topics of interest across the community and continued to deliver an exciting and versatile capacity building offer. The Membership Support Fund allows organisations facing financial challenges to continue to or newly benefit from the breadth of support and opportunities provided by UICC, pursue organisational development and maintain the sustainable impact of their work. Thanks to the generous support of our partners, 109 organisations benefitted from the Membership Support Fund in 2020.
