In 2025, the Global NCD Alliance Forum was convened by NCDA in partnership with local host organisation, Rwanda NCD Alliance, in collaboration with the Rwanda Ministry of Health, Rwanda Biomedical Centre, and with thanks to our strategic partnership with The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
2025 Theme
Liderazgo en las ENT hacia el 2025 y más allá
Un momento crítico para la respuesta a las ENT
The timing of the Forum in 2025 was strategic and deliberate, being held just under one year ahead of the fourth UN High-Level Meeting (UNHLM) on NCDs in New York.
This marked the fourth time Heads of Government and State came together at the UN to review progress on NCDs, and agreed global and national commitments for the next 5-10 years. The UNHLM marked the end date of the 2025 NCD global targets, therefore providing an important moment for reflection and accountability on NCDs.
The Forum provided a platform for the NCD movement to strategise, coordinate and unite ahead of the UNHLM, to ensure it would result in strong outcomes and meaningful change for people at risk and living with NCDs.
2025 Objectives
The 2025 Global NCD Alliance Forum objectives were to:
- Convocar al movimiento de ENT para acelerar la acción colectiva multisectorial sobre las ENT antes de la Reunión de Alto Nivel de las Naciones Unidas sobre ENT de 2025 y dentro del contexto de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible.
- Aumentar la conciencia y el compromiso mundial y regional con las ENT como una prioridad de salud y desarrollo sostenible, promoviendo soluciones rentables para prevenir y tratar las ENT.
- Unir y movilizar a la sociedad civil de las ENT a nivel nacional, regional y mundial, creando consenso sobre estrategias y prioridades de incidencia, y compartiendo herramientas y recursos para fortalecer la capacidad de la sociedad civil para incidir por acciones sobre las ENT.
- Promover las evidencias, el conocimiento y las experiencias sobre las ENT, reconociendo las buenas prácticas en las políticas, la implementación y la promoción de las ENT, y las lecciones aprendidas.
- Aumentar la visibilidad, la participación significativa y la voz de las personas que viven con ENT y de la juventud como impulsores del movimiento de ENT.
Who attended the Global Forum?
The Forum was attended by invitation only, offering a small and exclusive convening with ample opportunities for networking and exchange.
The primary target audience for the Forum was NCD civil society, including NCDA members, national and regional NCD alliances, youth and people living with NCDs. The Forum is a unique and diverse convening of the NCD community. The Forum brought together a diverse set of actors, including governments, UN and multilateral agencies, academia, relevant private sector, and broader global health and development stakeholders, contributing diverse perspectives and know-how.
