The global development landscape is shifting toward locally led, sustainable financing models to address noncommunicable diseases and mental health — two of the most underfunded yet economically impactful health challenges. In this session from Devex Impact House: The Capital Summit, Access Accelerated Executive Director Herb Riband, in conversation with Devex Chief-of-Staff Margaret Richardson, explore how new financing approaches can strengthen health systems and improve outcomes at scale. The discussion highlights the role of multistakeholder partnerships such as the Financing Accelerator Network for NCDs, and how collaboration between governments, multilateral development banks, and the private sector can help countries design and implement sustainable, locally led solutions.
