The NCD Alliance (NCDA) and the Global Alliance for Tobacco Control (GATC), which are both observers to the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the WHO FCTC, have launched a new report, titled “Tracking NCD funding flows: Urgent calls and global solutions”.

The OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Common Reporting Standard (CRS) database recently introduced source codes for funding being channelled into alcohol prevention and tobacco control within NCD policies and services. This new report analyzes the OECD’s DAC CRS data to specifically highlight the breakdown of the 2018- 2021 aid flow types going towards NCD policies and services, as well as the risk factors of tobacco and alcohol. The report also analyzes the breakdown of development assistance going to NCDs as well as DAH going towards NCD policies and services in relation to other global health priorities. In addition, this report will also elaborate on case studies and recommendations to improve integrated international investment for NCDs in time for the Second Dialogue on Sustainable Financing for NCDs and Mental Health (June 2024).

In relation to this area, and particularly as referred to in section 2.1 of the report, please, also find additional useful information on the Global Tobacco Control Funding Gap and the Global Case for Investment in Tobacco Control through the embedded links. These technical documents were presented at COP10, held in Panama in February 2024, through a side event, which presentation can be found through this link.
