Gaps and Opportunities in NCD Financing in Sub-Saharan Africa: Transforming Insights into Impact.
As part of the 4th NCD Alliance Global Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, Access Accelerated hosted a solutions-focused discussion on advancing health financing for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries. The session explored critical gaps, opportunities, and actionable strategies to strengthen NCD financing in Africa and beyond.
In collaboration with the World Bank, Results for Development (R4D), and the African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP), the session presented findings from the NCD Financing Landscape analysis for Sub-Saharan Africa, followed by a panel of experts who highlighted innovative approaches and practical solutions to tackle the financing challenges identified across the region.
As the global health community prepares for the 2025 UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs, this session provided a valuable platform to engage with leading health financing experts and an opportunity gain a deeper understanding of Africa’s NCD financing landscape and explore scalable solutions to drive meaningful advocacy and action.
