Investment Funds for the WHO FCTC and the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade inTobacco Products

Overview

In November 2021, the governing body of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) and the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products (Protocol) authorised the launch of two respective investment funds, the earned interest from which will lay a foundation for the financial stability needed for the future implementation of the WHO FCTC and the Protocol. Recognizing the unique skills required to manage and sustain the Funds, COP10 MOP3 are seeking the guidance of two Oversight Committees, comprised of experts in global financial and investment management to help guide the Fund’s strategic and investment policies.
