The Capacity Building Workshops




The Capacity Building Workshops will take place in 5 strategically selected countries across the European Union, with representatives from the other 26 involved in the project.

Please note that one of the objectives of this capacity building workshops is to identify 3 candidates, from each participating country, that would be willing to work together within their own jurisdictions after the training.

Ideally, the team should include tobacco control advocates, as well as those with an economics background, so as to facilitate the development of advocacy plans at national level for a tobacco regime that addresses both public health and fiscal concerns. The expenses of the three selected candidates will be fully covered.

Registration for the Prague capacity building workshop is now open - deadline = 27 March 2012

Please note - workshop training elements will be country specific. If you are intending to apply for training, only apply for the specific workshop which will cover your country of interest.
