This policy brief presents the NCD Alliance’s advocacy priorities for the 2nd Global Dialogue on Sustainable Financing for NCDs and Mental Health (GFD2) organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank. Framed as a technical meeting with a high-level segment, the GFD2 will explore approaches on how to include NCDs and mental health responses within national health and financing plans.
This is a working draft created to inform the Multistakeholder Briefing on 15 March 2024. An updated version will be made available following the publication of the Consultation documents by the World Health Organization in April 2024.
