“The Union's courses are more than classroom activities; they are year-long plans that are designed for serious action in health programmes.”
Tobacco Control

The Union is at the forefront of a growing international effort to reduce tobacco use and lower cases of lung disease worldwide. With the aid of Bloomberg Philanthropies, The Union has designed a series of courses that instruct tobacco-control activists on how to create and manage anti-tobacco campaigns for their individual countries. Courses cover all of our key subjects specifically adapted for tobacco-control campaigns.

Topics addressed in tobacco-control courses:

  • Developing strategies for monitoring and counteraction of tobacco industry activities in individual countries.
  • How to establish a system of monitoring and evaluation of tobacco-control policies development and implementation.
  • Learn to incorporate national tobacco-control efforts into existing national, state, and district level health structures to ensure sustainability.
  • Discover how to build a comprehensive national plan of action reflecting national priorities and realities.
  • Establish through national regulation/legislation sustained funding mechanisms for tobacco-control programmes.
