Gaps and Opportunities in NCD Financing in Sub-Saharan Africa: Transforming Insights into Impact

Join us for a solutions-focused discussion on advancing health financing for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries. This session will explore critical gaps, opportunities, and actionable strategies to strengthen NCD financing in Africa and beyond.

Hosted by Access Accelerated in collaboration with the World Bank, Results for Development (R4D), and the African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP), the event will present findings from the NCD Financing Landscape analysis for Sub-Saharan Africa. A panel of experts will delve into the insights, highlighting innovative approaches and practical solutions to tackle the financing challenges identified across the region. The discussion will also spotlight the role of regional accelerators and the Financing Accelerator Network for NCDs (FAN)—a new initiative by Access Accelerated and the World Bank, in partnership with R4D, aimed at building sustainable health financing systems for NCDs.

As the global health community prepares for the 2025 UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs, this session provides 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.
