Tobacco control as an accelerator for the Sustainable Development Goals in Cabo Verde

Overview

The FCTC 2030 project is an opportunity for Cabo Verde to partner with the Secretariat of the WHO FCTC, UNDP and WHO to build on progress and strengthen treaty implementation in line with Agenda 2030 and national priorities. The Ministry of Health and Social Security is committed but effective tobacco control requires whole-of-government and whole-of-society support.

To assist in these collaborative efforts, this brief details how tobacco control intersects with each of the 17 SDGs. Specifically, for the Cabo Verdean context, it provides key facts as well as recommendations to deliver shared gains across sectors and actors.
