National ratification of the FCTC is not a prerequisite for states and localities to take countless steps forward. (ash.org)
To date WHO has classified global progress against illicit trade as "intermediate" (i.e. some progress but slower and often partial) and is increasing pressure on countries to fulfil their ratification commitments to the FCTC Protocol. (delarue.com)
Interviewees had good knowledge of the content of the FCTC, and reported that although Ghana had no explicitly written policy on tobacco control, the Ministry of Health had issued several tobacco control directives before and since ratification. (nih.gov)

The FCTC protocol refers to the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products, which is an international treaty adopted under the auspices of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). (delarue.com)
Countries can adapt and implement FCTC provisions according to their national circumstances and priorities to effectively address illicit trade in tobacco products. (delarue.com)
A survey that De La Rue conducted with Reconnaissance in 2022 received responses from 10 tax authorities who had signed up to the FCTC protocol to eliminate illicit trade in tobacco products and 70% said it was in the top five of their priorities for the year ahead. (delarue.com)
Challenges identified included the absence of a legal framework for implementing the FCTC, and a lack of adequate resources and prioritisation of tobacco control efforts, leading to slow implementation of the treaty. (nih.gov)
Whilst Ghana has ratified the FCTC, there is an urgent need for action to pass a national tobacco control bill into law to enable it to implement the treaty, sustain tobacco control efforts and prevent Ghana's further involvement in the global tobacco epidemic. (nih.gov)
The WHO FCTC is unique in that it is the only international treaty that regulates an entire industry. (seatca.org)

Tobacco industry2
In 2008, the government of Bangladesh adopted the FCTC Article 5.3 Guidelines (1) which provides specific measures to protect the government from tobacco industry interference. (sarccct.org)
The objective of the virtual meeting is to foster intersectoral policy coherence on tobacco control by supporting the development and adoption of multisectoral strategies and programs, the establishment of multisectoral coordinating mechanisms for tobacco control and the adoption of measures to protect policies from tobacco industry interference (WHO FCTC Article 5, sections 1, 2 and 3). (paho.org)
Barriers2
De La Rue's 2022 survey with Reconnaissance found that t he main barriers to FCTC implementation were legislation, complexity, and a lack of resources and budget. (delarue.com)
In this study we have used qualitative methods to explore the extent to which the FCTC has been implemented in Ghana, a developing country that was 39th to ratify the FCTC, and identify barriers to effective FCTC implementation in low income countries. (nih.gov)
CPAT2
The FCTC Written Test is a part of the entrance requirements for firefighters in California, and candidates who are looking to have a career with one of the 160+ fire agencies in California will need to pass both the Written Test and the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) . (psychometric-success.com)
Departments can also use the FCTC list as a pre-qualifier - meaning when they open up their application process they may require applicants to have passed their CPAT and/or Written Test. (fctconline.org)
Obligations2
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare conducts a number of tobacco control activities along with implementing the obligations under the FCTC. (sarccct.org)
The WHO FCTC article 5 establishes provisions on general obligations for the WHO FCTC Parties. (paho.org)
Provisions2
It is important to note that the FCTC provides a framework for action, but the implementation of the provisions and the enforcement of measures is the responsibility that lies on the countries. (delarue.com)
