The McCabe Centre for Law & Cancer, which serves as the WHO FCTC Knowledge Hub on Legal Challenges, invites expressions of interest to attend the third edition of its online legal training course on law and noncommunicable disease. 

The course consists of seven online modules with accompanying live sessions, focusing on law and NCDs in the context of policy coherence between sustainable development, human rights, health, trade, and investment law. The course will be accessible for seven weeks and its content will take approximately 25 – 30 hours to complete.

The course is aimed at government officials in low and middle-income countries but other applicants are considered on a case-by-case basis. 

Note that the course will be conducted only in English, and participants who successfully complete the online content will be awarded a Certificate of Completion.

The course is free of charge for countries eligible to receive Official Development Assistance and for Pacific Island Countries, and there are a mix of scholarship and self-funded places for participants from other countries.

This year, the McCabe Centre will be piloting additional follow up support to participants who complete the course, for select legal priority projects on law and NCDs.

Applications are now open.
•    Deadline to submit an application: July 31 2022
