This is the second paper in the NCD Alliance series Everybody's Business: A series on bold actions to close the NCD funding gap.
Although they are largely preventable, NCDs and their related risk factors remain overwhelmingly neglected by development financing. If left unaddressed, NCDs pose a substantial threat to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals Goal 3 (Good Health). Given the significant challenges around NCD financing and demand from UN Member States, the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund to Catalyze Country Action on NCDs and Mental Health, or Health4Life Fund (H4LF) was established by WHO, UNICEF, and UNDP in 2021.
