New financing and resourcing arrangements for NCDs are necessary to reduce this epidemic. Suggested mechanisms include sustainable investment, blended finance, public-private partnerships, divestment from unhealthy consumer goods, pooled funding structures and innovative financing mechanisms. But what is their impact? Can they make a difference and how can we create a buy-in for the different actors involved here?
The upcoming UN high level meeting on NCDs later this year provides a framework for exploring these questions and defining new ways for financing NCDs in the era of the Sustainable Development Goals.
