Global Funding Gap and Investment Case for WHO FCTC Implementation: Presentation of Findings

Overview

In Article 26 of the WHO FCTC “the Parties recognize the important role that financial resources play in achieving the objective of this Convention”. International resource mobilization is also a critical for the Global Strategy. Parties and COP need information on the financial implications of implementing the Convention, but also evidence and tools to advocate for sustainable funding of tobacco control. Methodologies were developed to calculate the global funding gap and a global investment case to implement the Convention and the same information by country. This will inform global and national priority setting and the interventions costs to reduce health and economic burden of tobacco use.
