Declarations or Consensus Statements describe the values, shared vision, aspirational goals and characteristics of a variety of approaches, programs and interventions designed to achieve long term goals, solve complex problems or to support selected populations. Declarations define and describe what actions should be taken but often do not assign roles, responsibilities, resources, timelines or measurable objectives. Declarations and consensus statements are often presented as calls to actions or as non-binding commitments to joint actions by organizations or individuals.
