Sectoral briefs - what governments need to know about tobacco control

Overview

The implementation of the WHO FCTC should not be seen as a mission for the health sector alone, as there is a role and benefits for many other sectors and stakeholders. This side event will share country-level experience and best practices for the implementation of a whole-of-government and whole-of-society agenda for tobacco control, highlight the benefits of multisectoral action and how to engage other sectors to ensure policy coherence. At the side event, the Convention Secretariat and UNDP will also jointly launch a new set of “sectoral briefs” that explain to different ministries how they can support WHO FCTC implementation and what “is in it for them”.
