Driving HIV-NCD Action Ahead of the 2026 UN High-Level Meeting

In the lead-up to the High-Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS, the global health response is being reconsidered amid constrained financing and ongoing reform of the global health architecture. Against the backdrop of shifting external support and increasing alignment with country-defined needs and priorities, there is growing emphasis on approaches that sustain hard-won HIV gains, such as community engagement, while addressing the broader health needs of affected communities.

This shift is particularly urgent as people-centred and rights-based approaches to prevention, treatment and care have become essential to quality of life, healthy ageing and equity. 

The 2021 UN Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS marked a historic commitment by governments to ensure that 90% of people living with, at risk of and affected by HIV have access to NCD and mental health services. As preparations begin for the 2026 UN High-Level Meeting (HLM) on HIV/AIDS, there is a critical opportunity for HIV, NCD and mental health advocates to work together to shape political commitments, safeguard community leadership, and advance integrated approaches to health and well-being, while ensuring that these objectives are included within ongoing GHA discussions.

To support these efforts, NCD Alliance has developed a new Advocacy Toolkit through a consultative process with key stakeholders. This webinar marks the official launch of the toolkit.

The webinar will take place at 13:30-15:00 CET.
