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
Leadership sur les MNT vers 2025 et au-delà
Un moment crucial pour la réponse aux MNT
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:
- Convoquer le mouvement des MNT pour accélérer l'action collective multisectorielle sur les MNT avant la réunion de haut niveau des Nations unies sur les MNT en 2025 et dans le contexte des objectifs de développement durable.
- Accroître la sensibilisation et l'engagement aux niveaux mondial et régional sur les MNT en tant que priorité de santé et de développement durable, en promouvant des solutions rentables pour prévenir et traiter les MNT.
- Unir et mobiliser la société civile des MNT aux niveaux national, régional et mondial, établir un consensus sur les stratégies et les priorités de plaidoyer, et partager les outils et les ressources afin de renforcer la capacité de la société civile à plaider en faveur de l'action sur les MNT.
- Promouvoir les preuves, les connaissances et le savoir-faire sur les MNT, en montrant les bonnes pratiques en matière de politiques, de mise en œuvre et de plaidoyer en faveur des MNT, ainsi que les leçons apprises.
- Accroître la visibilité, la participation significative et la voix des personnes vivant avec des MNT et des jeunes en tant que moteurs du mouvement des MNT.
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 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.
