Bringing A Global Partnership to Life: The Case of the UICC Global Smokefree Partnership

Sinead Jones, BSc, PhD, MPH, International Union Against Cancer, c/o 187 Granton Road, Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

UICC has led the formation of a multi-sectoral partnership to work on global-level initiatives to support smokefree environments. The partnership brings together NGO, commercial and governmental organisations to map existing activity, build organisational capacity and mobilise resources as well as campaign on specific issues of global relevance.

This presentation will explore the processes necessary to overcome traditional barriers between organisations and establish effective working methods, as well as illustrating some early initiatives of the partnership
