Leading and Linking: Bold actions to tackle NCDs for Sustainable Development
Date and Time: 24 September 2024, 12:30-14:00 EST
Organised by the NCD Alliance (NCDA) and the Healthy Caribbean Coalition (HCC) on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly and the 2024 Summit of the Future, this high-level event will aim to convene world leaders to discuss why it’s Time to Lead and act on NCDs for sustainable development ahead of the 2025 UN HLM on NCDs.
In line with NCD Alliance’s Advocacy Priorities for this UN HLM and WHO’s Global NCD Compact 2020-2030, the conversation will focus on the need to break down silos between other global health and development priorities to ensure integrated NCD action; to mobilize investment in adequate, predictable, and sustained resources for NCDs; to accelerate national implementation of NCD strategies; deliver accountability for the implementation of NCD commitments; and to engage communities to respond to population needs.
