WHO framework on meaningful engagement: A transformational approach to integrate lived experience in the noncommunicable disease and mental health agenda.

As the global public health community continues to reflect and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), and mental health and neurological conditions remains one of the largest unmet gaps in progress towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). People living with these health conditions, particularly among those most marginalized, acutely understand the impact of these failures in global action and investment. Integrating lived experience into the NCD and mental health response can act as an accelerator for action.
