Financing for NCDs and Mental Health: Where will the money come from?

This policy brief reviews the options for increasing funding for NCDs and mental health from the perspective of health ministries, finance ministries, and development agencies. This policy brief complements another policy brief, Financing for NCDs and mental health: making the money work better, that identifies mechanisms for improving the efficiency of current spending. These recommendations emerged from the International Dialogue on Sustainable Financing for Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health (June 2024) and related technical background papers.
