Madagascar Impact Assessment

Overview

The impact assessment for the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) was conducted in Madagascar from 22 to 24 February 2016. The Ministry of Health and the WHO country office participated in the mission that was led by members of the independent Impact Assessment Expert Group.

Strengthening intersectoral cooperation and collaboration between the government and civil society organizations has had a positive impact. The WHO FCTC enabled collaboration between the Ministry of Health and all other departments that were critical in promoting tobacco control legislation. Governmental departments work together in implementation of the WHO FCTC in Madagascar.
