ABOUT GTSS ACADEMY

GTSS Academy is an online platform to increase the implementation and use of GTSS data to help enhance global capacity for tobacco prevention and control

Goal

The goal of GTSS Academy is to enhance country capacity to design, implement and evaluate tobacco control interventions, and monitor key articles of the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) and the WHO MPOWER measures. The WHO FCTC provides the foundation for countries to carry out and manage tobacco control; the six MPOWER demand-reduction measures and related strategies aim to help in the country-level implementation of effective interventions to reduce the demand for tobacco.

GTSS includes the collection of data through three surveys:
