Yemen WHO FCTC Needs Assessment

Yemen signed the WHO FCTC on 20 June 2003 and ratified the WHO FCTC on 22 February 2007.

The Government of Yemen through its Ministry of Public Health and Population requested to the Convention Secretariat to conduct a needs assessment exercise to track progress in the implementation of the WHO FCTC, identify possible remaining gaps and challenges and provide recommendations for addressing these challenges. As part of the needs assessment process, the Convention Secretariat, WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, WHO Yemen Country Office and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), held a two-day mission in Cairo - Egypt from 29 to 30 August 2023.

The mission was carried out in Egypt due to the security situation in Yemen.
