United Nations Health4Life Fund
The Health4Life Fund (the UN Multi-Partner Trust to Catalyze Country Action for Non-Communicable Diseases and Mental Health) has been established to galvanize domestic financing and scale up country action for the prevention and control of NCDs and for improving mental health.
The Fund will support governments, the UN development system and other partners to work together towards common NCD and mental health results, in a way that responds to the global, regional and country level commitments on NCDs and mental health.
The Fund was established by UNDP, UNICEF and WHO – three members of the NCD Task Force. The Fund is based on established financing-for-development and aid- & development-effectiveness principles.
