Eswatini WHO FCTC Needs Assessment

Overview

The first session of the COP (COP1) in February 2006 called upon developing country Parties and Parties with economies in transition to conduct needs assessments in light of their obligations related to the implementation of all provisions of the Convention and to communicate their prioritized needs to development partners (decision FCTC/COP1(13)).

The needs assessment is an exercise undertaken jointly with a government to identify the objectives to be accomplished under the WHO FCTC, resources available to the Party for implementation, and any gaps in this regard. It is based on all substantive articles of the WHO FCTC so as to establish a baseline of needs.
