National Coordinating Mechanisms for Tobacco Control

Overview

This toolkit builds upon existing guidance and materials to provide Parties a more complete set of tools, templates and examples to support the establishment, reinforcement, and sustainability of tobacco control governance mechanisms.

The primary audience of this comprehensive toolkit is governments, particularly ministry of health and tobacco control focal points. It is intended to guide interaction with all relevant sectors and institutions in a given national context. The aim is to help Parties overcome both political and technical barriers to Article 5.2a implementation. While the toolkit focuses on the national level NCM, some of its content is useful for sub-national structures.
