NCD and Tobacco Control Investment Cases
The United Nations Interagency Task Force on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases selected RTI as the key technical partner to create NCD investment cases (Jamaica, Peru, Nigeria) and tobacco control investment cases for the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (Cabo Verde, Cambodia, Chad, Colombia, Egypt, El Salvador, Georgia, Jordan, Madagascar, Myanmar, Nepal, Samoa, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Zambia). Our investment cases inform national priority setting and decisions around which policy measures and interventions can be implemented (or scaled) in order to reduce the health and economic burden of NCDs. Within the investment cases analyses, RTI assesses the costs of scaling-up prevention and control interventions, quantifies the resulting health and economic benefits of the interventions, and presents options for traditional and innovative financing approaches to support rollout of NCD services.
