Our work is dedicated to improving access to high-quality, people-centered NCD services with the goal of addressing three health financing functions—resource mobilization, pooling, and purchasing—while also considering elements related to the delivery of services and the governance of systems.
At the heart of FAN’s mission is a commitment to fostering sustainable financing models that enhance primary healthcare and advance universal health coverage. By strengthening these foundational elements, FAN lays the groundwork for a more robust response to NCDs.
As our activities are implemented, valuable evidence and insights will be generated, and best practices can be shared and scaled across regions. The result is a multiplier effect, enabling countries to leverage successes and expand their impact.
To support our efforts, we are building a growing network of regional NCD Financing Accelerators, hosted by leading regional institutions, to meet the needs of LMICs in strengthening health financing systems for NCDs. These dynamic, innovative centers of excellence serve as responsive and demand-driven incubators of effective, sustainable, and people-centered solutions to key NCD financing challenges.

FAN is a transformative initiative that brings together Access Accelerated and World Bank in a new technical partnership, working in close cooperation with Results for Development. We’re leveraging our decades of combined experience in the field and building a growing coalition to take on one of the biggest challenges facing the world today.
By sparking new learnings, responding to country needs and priorities, and connecting global experts and local decision makers, FAN is helping to drive the action needed to close the health financing gap for NCDs in LMICs across Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America & the Caribbean, and Asia Pacific.
Every year, an estimated 41 million people die from NCDs, with the majority occurring in LMICs. We believe that strengthening health financing for NCDs is one of the best ways to make a difference.
Regional NCD Financing Accelerators serve as centers of excellence, supporting country-based teams to improve health financing for NCDs.
