Explore pertinent strategies for linking NCDs with other critical health and development agendas and fostering strong collaboration between all the relevant stakeholders including donors, multilaterals, and civil society organizations.
HFI’s inaugural DC event with NCD Alliance: “Integrating NCDs in
COVID-19 recovery agendas”
On the sidelines of the World Bank Group / International Monetary Fund 2021 Annual Meetings, HFI and NCD Alliance hosted a roundtable discussion on prioritizing NCDs in the recovery agenda. Attendees included representatives from UNDP, Uruguay, UNICEF, Medtronic, and more. One of the key takeaways from this dynamic discussion was the importance of engaging the private sector and civil society in financing for NCDs. HFI looks forward to working with partners to make this a reality.
