POSITION STATEMENT ON THE GLOBAL NCD AGENDA
FEEDBACK PERIOD OPEN: NCDI Poverty Network Preparing Position Statement on the Global NCD Agenda Ahead of UNGA2025
In September 2025, the UN General Assembly will hold the fourth High-Level Meeting on NCDs. The NCDI Poverty Network is preparing a Position Statement to provide key guidance and recommendations for the inclusion of vulnerable populations – especially children and people living in poverty – in the global NCD agenda.
The position statement details an alternate, specific set of policy recommendations for the NCD community to move forward in building access to health care for NCDs, in concrete ways that align with the goals and methods detailed in the 2025-2028 PEN-Plus Partnership Strategic Plan.
We will develop and utilize this Position Statement throughout 2025 in the lead-up to the High-Level Meeting, to guide our advocacy and collaborations with UN delegations, NGOs, governments, funders and other stakeholders.
We invite you to provide your feedback on the Position Statement during our open comment period, which is open through Wednesday, Feb. 5.
Please read the draft statement and provide feedback to make your voice heard.
