Abstract
Some innovative financing mechanisms are at the proposal stage with many countries participating in the debate. One of the most active groups in this form of discussion is the Leading Group—a group of 64 nations, 18 international organizations, and 20 NGOs—which focuses on setting up innovative development financing mechanisms. The objective of this Analytical Note is to assist developing countries in deliberations on resource mobilization for Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) implementation, and provide an overview of how innovative financing mechanisms are being explored in different sectors, with opportunities for exploring innovative financing mechanisms for tobacco control.
