NCDA Campaign Priorities: 2018 UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs
22nd January 2018
This briefing paper aims to inform civil society and partners about the crucial opportunity of the 2018 UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs (UN HLM) to mobilise political leadership and new resources and action to improve the lives of people affected by NCDs worldwide, and to guide advocacy at global, regional and national level for strong commitments at the UN HLM.
In order to maximise the opportunity of the 2018 UN HLM on NCDs, the NCD Alliance will lead a global campaign in pursuit of the following goals:
- Raise awareness of the scale, impact and urgency of NCDs as a social justice and equity issue and NCD investments as a major opportunity to drive sustainable development.
- Increase high-level political commitment by governments and multilateral agencies.
- Establish NCDs as a priority investment for health and development, building support for cost-effective interventions and sustainable funding models to support national NCD responses.
- Strengthen and mobilise the NCD civil society movement, and the voices of youth and people living with NCDs
