WHO Multi-Partner Trust Fund for Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health

The World Health Organization (WHO), in collaboration with UNICEF and UNDP, establishes a new Multi-Partner Trust Fund to support Member States in tackling noncommunicable diseases and mental health conditions, aiming to reduce premature mortality and promote health well-being in line with Sustainable Development Goal Target 3.4.

Key Context:

• Noncommunicable diseases cause 75% of global deaths, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries, with millions suffering preventable deaths and economic impacts exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Only 17 countries are on track to meet the target, highlighting the need for coordinated action.

Focus Areas for Support:

• Development and implementation of fiscal, legislative, and regulatory measures.
• Strengthening health systems as part of universal health coverage efforts.
• Increasing domestic financing.
• Engaging communities and affected populations.

Funding and Impact Goals:

• Raise USD 250 million over five years to catalyze country-level actions.
• Expected outcomes: Save 8 million lives, gain 80 million healthy life years, generate USD 350 billion in economic benefits for low- and middle-income countries, and support post-COVID-19 recovery.

Call to Action:

• WHO invites partners and Member States to join in shaping the fund's operations and resource mobilization.
• Express interest by emailing unncdtaskforce@who.int for details.
• The initiative supports broader SDG achievement, particularly resilient health responses.
