An outcome of the International Strategic Dialogue on Noncommunicable Diseases and the Sustainable Development Goals hosted by the Government of Ghana, Government of Norway and the World Health Organization in April 2022, was the Global Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD) Compact 2020-2030.
The NCD Compact calls on all countries to accelerate the progress towards the NCD-related SDG.
The NCD Compact:
- highlights that NCDs continue to receive 1- 2% of all official development assistance (ODA) for health
- draws attention to the recently established UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund to catalyze country action for NCDs and Mental Health as a global financing partnership to support LMICs to mobilize domestic resources and to scale up action
Identifies five concrete actions, one of which is to invest adequate, predictable, and sustained resources for the prevention and control of NCDs, through domestic, bilateral, and multilateral channels including through the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund.
