In the days leading up to the fourth UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and Mental Health, Access Accelerated co-hosted a dialogue that explored what it takes to improve equitable and sustainable financing for NCDs and mental health. The panel and subsequent roundtable discussions included perspectives from Ghana to Georgia, regional insights from the Financing Accelerator Network for NCDs (FAN) to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and global voices from Resolve to Save Lives to PATH.

Participants shared how countries are finding innovative ways to raise, manage, and spend resources amid shrinking budgets and limited external funding. The conversation made clear that progress depends on strong leadership, collaboration across sectors, and approaches that put people at the center. By sharing lessons, leveraging data, and building partnerships with communities, civil society, and the private sector, countries can move beyond declarations towards impactful, sustainable change.
