The implementation in other countries were reviewed in the items of process design and program development, level of participation among multi-sectoral networks, timeline, mechanism of the continuum, and monitoring and evaluation. The findings revealed that NCD prevention and control programs based on CBI of other countries are stronger than in Thailand. The recommendations were; priolitize NCD prevention and control to be important local policy, developing and strengthening the cooperation of networks, adjusting timeline, strategies and activities suitable to situation, context, lifestyle and community calendar of each area. Encourage to do the research and development (R&D) of implementation with CBI by Routine to Research methods. In addition, the information and monitoring and evaluation system should be developed to feedback and improve the NCD prevention and control programs based on CBI.
