IT AIMS TO REDUCE THE GLOBAL DEMAND FOR TOBACCO THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE, PROVEN APPROACH THAT COMBINES POLICY CHANGE WITH INCREASED PUBLIC AWARENESS.IN 2017, VITAL STRATEGIES ADVANCED CRITICAL TOBACCO CONTROL POLICIES ACROSS 10 COUNTRIES AND SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCED STANDARDS AND PRACTICE GLOBALLY. AS A RESULT, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS MORE PEOPLE ARE PROTECTED BY NEW OR STRENGTHENED MPOWER POLICIES; MILLIONS HAVE QUIT SMOKING AS A DIRECT RESULT OF OUR CAMPAIGNS; WE KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW TO GAIN TRACTION ON TAX CAMPAIGNS AND EXPOSE TOBACCO INDUSTRY TACTICS; AND WE HAVE BUILT STRONGER PUBLIC SUPPORT ON- AND OFFLINE FOR NEW INTERVENTIONS. IN 2017, VITAL STRATEGIES SUPPORTED 38 BEST-PRACTICE MEDIA CAMPAIGNS IN 10 COUNTRIES WHILE GARNERING SIGNIFICANT GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT. GOVERNMENT PARTNERS PROVIDED FUNDS OR IN-KIND DONATIONS TOTALING MORE THAN $4 MILLION AND CONTRIBUTED IN EVERY COUNTRY WHERE WE DID A CAMPAIGN. SYNERGIZED WITH OTHER ADVOCACY PARTNER ACTIVITIES, THESE CAMPAIGNS HELPED TO ACHIEVED CRITICAL POLICY WINS. WE'RE ALSO LEVERAGING COMMUNITIES AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH KEY LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE WOMEN'S UNION IN VIETNAM TO ADVANCE SMOKE-FREE POLICY AND DEMONSTRATE BOTH HIGH-LEVEL AND VOCAL PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR TAX INCREASES. TO GUIDE OUR CAMPAIGNS, WE ENGAGED IN 2017 IN DATA-DRIVEN RESEARCH WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN COUNTRIES TO LEARN WHAT TYPES OF MESSAGES ARE MOST LIKELY TO GROW SUPPORT OF TAX POLICIES AND EXPOSE THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY'S NEFARIOUS BEHAVIOR. VITAL STRATEGIES GAVE SUB GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS BUILDING THE MOVEMENT FOR GLOBAL TOBACCO CONTROL THROUGH ITS FOCUS LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY OUTCOMES ACROSS MPOWER MEASURES, INDUSTRY INTERFERENCE AND TOBACCO CONTROL SUSTAINABILITY. THERE WERE MAJOR STRIDES MADE BY OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATION THE UNION IN THE PROMOTION AND ADOPTION OF WHO FCTC COMPLIANT LEGISLATION AT BOTH NATIONAL AND SUBNATIONAL LEVELS.TAX: THE UNION HELP WITH BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF OFFICIALS AT THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH, MINISTRY OF FINANCE, OTHER MINISTRIES, AND PARLIAMENTARIANS ON TOBACCO TAX IN BOTH VIETNAM AND INDONESIA. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE MOH IN INDONESIA. A DRAFT TAX BILL WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE UNION'S HELP FOR THE MOF IN VIETNAM. THE UNION ALSO WORKED CLOSELY WITH BLOOMBERG PARTNERS IN DEVELOPING TAX MODELS FOR THE MOF IN VIETNAM. IN INDIA, THE UNION WORKS WITH GRANTEES IN MONITORING THE PRICE AND TAX CHANGES FOR TOBACCO PRODUCTS INCURRED BY THE INTRODUCTION OF GST. IN PAKISTAN, THE UNION ENGAGED MOH IN TAX DISCUSSION THROUGH HIRING A TAX CONSULTANT FOR MOH AND COORDINATED WITH MOH AND BI PARTNERS AND ENSURED THAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM BOTH SIDES ALIGN WITH EACH OTHERSMOKE-FREE: SMOKE-FREE REMAINS A PRIORITY POLICY AREA FOR THE UNION IN 2017. IN CHINA, THE NATIONAL SMOKE-FREE LAW WAS FIERCELY OPPOSED BY THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY AND THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS CAME TO A HALT IN 2017. ANOTHER MAJOR POLICY FOCUS IN 2017 FOR CHINA IS THE NATIONAL HEALTH PROMOTION LAW, WHICH IS A GENERAL PUBLIC HEALTH LAW AND INCLUDES TOBACCO CONTROL PROVISIONS, PARTICULARLY SMOKE-FREE. THE UNION HELPED CHINA CDC IN DRAFTING THE TOBACCO CONTROL PROVISIONS IN THE HEALTH PROMOTION LAW. THE REVIEW AND DEBATE AROUND THE LAW WILL CONTINUE INTO 2018. CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS IN SMOKE-FREE HAS BEEN MADE AT THE SUB-NATIONAL LEVEL IN CHINA. TWO CITIES SHENZHEN AND LANZHOU, WITH A COMBINED POPULATION OF 16 MILLION, BECAME 100% SMOKE-FREE IN 2017. HANGZHOU AND GUANGZHOU, WITH A COMBINED POPULATION OF 24 MILLION, HAVE MADE IMPRESSIVE PROGRESS IN BUILDING POLITICAL MOMENTUM AND THE AMENDMENTS OF BOTH SMOKE-FREE LAWS ARE EXPECTED TO BE PASSED IN 2018. SEVEN JURISDICTIONS IN INDIA WITH A TOTAL POPULATION OF 15 MILLION WERE DECLARED SMOKE-FREE IN 2017. FIVE SUBNATIONAL JURISDICTIONS IN INDONESIA WITH A TOTAL POPULATION OF 7 MILLION ADOPTED A SMOKE-FREE POLICY IN 2017. IN PAKISTAN, THE UNION LAUNCHED A PROJECT TO REPLICATE THE SUCCESSFUL SMOKE-FREE ISLAMABAD MODEL IN 5 DISTRICTS IN PUNJAB. WITH THE HELP OF THE UNION GRANTEE ASH PHILIPPINES, THE EXECUTIVE ORDER ON SMOKE-FREE ENVIRONMENT WAS ISSUED BY THE PRESIDENT AND AN ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER WAS RELEASED BY THE MOH IN 2017. GEORGIA AND BENIN BECAME 100% SMOKE-FREE COUNTRIES AFTER THE COMPREHENSIVE TOBACCO CONTROL LAW WAS PASSED IN 2017.PHW AND PLAIN PACKAGING: THE MOMENTUM IN IMPLEMENTING PHW IN COUNTRIES WE WORK IN HAS BEEN STRONG IN 2017. NEPAL BECAME ONE OF THE INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICES IN PHW WHEN IT ADOPTED THE POLICY FOR 90% PHW IN EARLY 2017. OTHER COUNTRIES THAT PASSED LAWS REQUIRING PHW IN 2017 INCLUDE MYANMAR (75%), CAMBODIA (55%), GEORGIA (65%), AND BENIN (50%). THE BANGLADESH MINISTRY OF HEALTH ISSUED AN ORDER TO REQUIRE PICTORIAL HEALTH WARNINGS TO BE PLACED ON THE UPPER PART OF THE PACK RATHER THAN THE LOWER PART AS ACCORDING TO THE 2016 INTERIM ORDER. THE PAKISTAN FEDERAL CABINET DECIDED TO IMPLEMENT A 50% PICTORIAL HEALTH WARNING STARTING FROM JUNE 2018 AND THEN 60% FROM JUNE 2019. PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE IN THE PUSH FOR PLAIN PACKAGING IN BRAZIL AND URUGUAY. INCA IN BRAZIL BUILT LEGAL AND TECHNICAL FOUNDATION FOR THE PROPOSED PLAIN PACKAGING BILL BY PRODUCING AN EXPERT OPINION ON THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE POLICY BEFORE THE CONGRESS. THE URUGUAY GOVERNMENT SUBMITTED A PLAIN PACKAGING PROPOSAL TO THE CONGRESS, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BE APPROVED IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2018. ONCE PASSED, URUGUAY WILL HAVE THE WORLD'S MOST COMPREHENSIVE SET OF RESTRICTIONS ON TOBACCO BRANDING WITH ITS EXISTING SINGLE PRESENTATION REGULATION. POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT TOOK PLACE IN CHILE THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE REFORM TO THE GENERAL LAW FOR TOBACCO CONTROL WITH A PLAIN PACKAGING COMPONENT HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY THE SENATE AND IS PENDING AT THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.TAPS BAN: IN INDONESIA, AN AMENDMENT OF THE NATIONAL BROADCASTING LAW THAT INCLUDES A BAN ON TOBACCO ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION IS BEING DISCUSSED BY THE PARLIAMENTARY LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE. JAKARTA ACHIEVED MORE THAN 95% COMPLIANCE IN BANNING TOBACCO ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION IN 2017. BOGOR CITY BECAME THE FIRST CITY IN INDONESIA TO HAVE IMPLEMENTED A LOCAL BAN ON DISPLAY OF CIGARETTE PACKS AT POINT OF SALE. GEORGIA AND BENIN BANNED ALL TAPS IN THE COUNTRY THROUGH THE NATIONAL TOBACCO CONTROL LAWS PASSED IN 2017.TOBACCO INDUSTRY INTERFERENCE: TOBACCO INDUSTRY INTERFERENCE CONTINUES TO BE THE MAIN CHALLENGE FOR TOBACCO CONTROL POLICY MAKING ACROSS ALL THE COUNTRIES THE UNION WORKS IN. TO ADDRESS THIS, 5 STATES IN INDIA HAVE PASSED 5.3 POLICIES WITH THE UNION'S SUPPORT. THE UNION HAS ALSO HELPED THE MOHS IN INDIA, BANGLADESH, AND MEXICO DEVELOP DRAFT 5.3 POLICIES. THANKS TO THE EFFORT TO SENSITIZE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS BY THE UNION'S NGO GRANTEES IN BANGLADESH, THE CABINET, THE MAYOR OF DHAKA SOUTH CITY CORPORATION, AND A UNIVERSITY HAVE ALL DISTANCED THEMSELVES FROM A MAJOR CSR EVENT ORGANIZED BY BAT IN 2017. THE UNION HAS HELPED ESTABLISH THREE TOBACCO INDUSTRY OBSERVATORIES IN BRAZIL, SOUTH AFRICA, AND SRI LANKA. THESE OBSERVATORIES PROVIDE INTELLIGENCE ON INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES TO REGIONAL AND COUNTRY TOBACCO CONTROL ADVOCATES. AN EMERGING CHALLENGE IN 2017 IS THE LAUNCH OF THE FOUNDATION FOR A SMOKE-FREE WORLD BY PHILIP MORRIS INTERNATIONAL. THE UNION HAS BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH BI AND PARTNERS IN DISCUSSING JOINT COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY. A LETTER TO ALL PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE GRANTEES OF THE UNION AND TFK WAS SENT ADVISING ON THE POSITION WE TAKE TOWARD THIS FOUNDATION. AS THE SECRETARIAT OF THE WCTOH, WE DEVELOPED A POSITION STATEMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH PARTNERS FOR THE CONFERENCE ON THIS FOUNDATION. COUNTRY LEADS HAVE ACTIVELY COLLECTED INFORMATION ON THE OUTREACH AND ACTIVITIES OF THE FOUNDATION AND ADVISED THE UNION'S COLLABORATORS AND GRANTEES NOT TO WORK WITH THE FOUNDATION. NOTABLY, THE MOHS IN INDONESIA AND VIETNAM BOTH ISSUED NOTICES TO OTHER MINISTRIES, AGENCIES, AND SUBNATIONAL JURISDICTIONS ADVISING NOT TO COLLABORATE WITH THE FOUNDATION. 14755437 12968178 RESOLVE:GLOBAL CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH AND PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVES, ALSO KNOWN AS RESOLVE TO SAVE 100 MILLION LIVES AND RESOLVE TO PREVENT EPIDEMICSPROJECT GOALS FOR THESE INITIATIVES INCLUDE:- CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH INITIATIVE: CATALYZE PROGRESS REDUCING THE BURDEN OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN LOW- AND MIDDLE- INCOME COUNTRIES.- PREVENTING EPIDEMICS (PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE) INITIATIVE: REDUCE RISK OF EPIDEMICS BY STRENGTHENING CAPACITY OF LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES TO DETECT, RESPOND TO, AND PREVENT HEALTH THREATS.THE FOLLOWING SUMMARIZES PROGRESS, INCLUDING BUILDING A GREAT TEAM AND LAUNCHING KEY PARTNERSHIPS.

THE GLOBAL HEALTH ADVOCACY INCUBATOR (GHAI) HAS HAD A SLOW START, AND WE WILL MONITOR THEIR PERFORMANCE CLOSELY IN THE COMING MONTHS AND MAY ADJUST THEIR BUDGET ACCORDINGLY. WE ARE ALSO EXPLORING ALTERNATIVES FOR FULFILLING THE FUNCTIONS WE HAD ENVISIONED FOR GHAI IF NECESSARY. IN ADDITION, CDC HAS UNDERGONE SIGNIFICANT ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE, AND THEIR ABILITY TO DELIVER ANTICIPATED SERVICES IS UNCLEAR. THEIR SUB-GRANT AGREEMENT HAS BEEN MODIFIED ACCORDINGLY, AND FUTURE FUNDING WILL DEPEND ON THEIR PERFORMANCE IN THIS YEAR.CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH INITIATIVETHE GLOBAL CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH INITIATIVE LAUNCHED ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2017, WITH A FOCUS ON THREE COMPONENTS: TRANS-FAT ELIMINATION, SODIUM REDUCTION, AND IMPROVED HYPERTENSION CONTROL.
