DESCRIPTION:Learning from experience of community mobilisation to improve 
 maternal and child health\, we developed two distinct population based int
 erventions to prevent and control diabetes within rural communities in Ban
 gladesh. The first intervention was an mHealth health promotion strategy d
 elivered to individual’s mobile phones. The second was a participatory c
 ommunity mobilisation intervention whereby community groups identified and
  addressed key threats to their health in their own communities. The inter
 ventions were evaluated using a three arm cluster-randomised controlled tr
 ial across 96 villages covering a population of approximately 125\,000 ind
 ividuals. This presentation will describe the development of these interve
 ntions\, their implementation and impact.
