The United Nations Multi-Partner Trust Fund to Catalyze Country Action for Non-Communicable Diseases and Mental Health
Overview
Responding to the socio-economic impact of 12 million premature deaths each year in low- and middle-income countries
The United Nations Multi-Partner Trust Fund to Catalyze Country Action for Non-Communicable Diseases and Mental Health (NCD and Mental Health Catalytic Fund) is being established to catalyze action in low- and middle-income countries to prevent and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and improve mental health.
The NCD and Mental Health Catalytic Fund is initially looking to raise USD 250 million for the period 2021-2026. Preliminary projections indicate that this this ‘seed’ capital would be sufficient to catalyze domestic action and resource mobilization to lead to over 8 million 250,000 lives saved, more than 80 million healthy life years gained, and avert USD 350 billion in economic losses by 2030, with these benefits expected to accrue even further beyond 2030.
