The WHO FCTC Knowledge Hub for Tobacco Taxation, based at the University of Cape Town, opens a call for expression of interest for technical assistance in tax simulation modelling aimed at addressing the challenges posed by tobacco, alcohol, and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).

With support from Cancer Research UK, an observer to the Conference of the Parties to the WHO FCTC, this initiative aims to support approximately six countries from June 2024 to June 2026, with a preference for Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

This project offers expertise in tax reform, including retrospective analyses, prospective modelling, training, and ongoing support. For additional information, please, see the document attached.

Applications are encouraged from LMICs interested in leveraging taxation strategies to tackle noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Apply by 11:59 pm SAST on Friday, 12 April 2024, using the form found through this link.

For specific consultations, please, contact the Knowledge Hub at tobaccotaxationkh@gmail.com.
