NCD Alliance Advocacy Snapshot: What’s In, What’s Missing in the Zero Draft

This advocacy snapshot outlines how the Zero Draft of the Political Declaration for the 2025 UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and Mental Health reflects key priorities from The Call to Lead on NCDs—and where it falls short. It highlights partial progress on community engagement, implementation, and accountability, and identifies opportunities to strengthen the final declaration. With negotiations underway, this snapshot is a quick-reference tool to support advocacy that defends strong elements and pushes for bold improvements. Now is the time for coordinated, impactful engagement from civil society and people living with NCDs.
