Indicator Compendium for the Global Strategy to Accelerate Tobacco Control

Overview

This Indicator Compendium for the Global Strategy to Accelerate Tobacco Control was developed in response to the mandate given to the Convention Secretariat by the Conference of the Parties (COP) in 2018 “to collect baseline data for the range of indicators identified in the MTSF”, which was the former name of the Global Strategy”, and “to report, on a biennial basis, on the progress in implementation of the MTSF, as part its regular biennial global reports on the implementation of the Convention”.

Subsequently, this Indicator Compendium presents the indicators proposed in the Global Strategy. As such, it aims at enabling the standardization of data collected under each of the 20 indicators and is expected to facilitate the preparation of reports, allow trend analysis to be undertaken, and monitor the impact and uptake of the Global Strategy.
