Guide for WHO FCTC Parties on including SDG Target 3.a in voluntary national reviews

Overview

This guide has provided several case studies with good practice that can be learned from and that inform reporting on Target 3.a in a VNR, as well as lessons learned in the experiences of Parties that have either not yet included Target 3.a in a VNR or have included only Indicator 3.a.1.

The guide has also provided a set of key observations and recommendations that can help Parties to the WHO FCTC to achieve the inclusion of reference to Target 3.a in their reviews.

The recommendations can be adopted and adapted by the Parties and utilized by the WHO FCTC focal points.

They can also be beneficial to other tobacco control stakeholders that participate in or support the process, in addition to those responsible for the preparation of VNRs. Reporting on Target 3.a is an important component of WHO FCTC implementation through highlighting achievements, learning from peers, strengthening connections between the WHO FCTC and sustainable development, and in showcasing the positive impact of implementing the WHO FCTC.
