Education, communication and public awareness programmes required under Article 12 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) should be an integral part of comprehensive tobacco control strategies, plans and programmes. Indeed, they are efficient to reduce smoking initiation and maintenance. Those programs are usually expensive and the funding are not sufficient to ensure their implementation or their sustainability.

The objective of this webinar is to identify mechanisms of financing awareness raising programmes for tobacco control and to provide examples on how to obtain and structure such mechanisms.

The invited speakers will present examples of: taxation of tobacco products and utilization of tobacco taxation for funding public health programmes; governance mechanisms for the existing funds; and techniques of advocacy to target decision-makers to get funds for awareness raising programmes.

The programme of the webinar is available both in English and French.

You work in a structure that contributes to the fight against tobacco, at a national or local level, whehter it is a public institution, a community, an association, a private structure or you work for the implementation of public health policies: this webinar may interest you!
