METHODS: a narrative review was performed of scientific articles and documents produced by WHO, PAHO and the Brazilian Government.

RESULTS: the Member States and WHO defined 25 indicators and9 targets for NCDs, including indicators for mortality and morbidity, exposure (risk factors) and health system response capacity. These indicators exist in the Brazilian NCD Plan. CONCLUSION: this set of indicators will enable comparable international evaluations regarding NCD status and trends over time, thus supporting each country'smonitoring situation.
