Abstract
NCDP was a new program replacing the previous tobacco control focused program (1994-2011) that was merged with IDRC’s Ecosystems and Human Health program in 2014. The NCDP’s portfolio included a total of 82 projects; seventy-four were considered to be within the scope of the evaluation. The quality of research ranged from acceptable to very good; examples of the best research prove to be outstanding. The NCDP program was productive, including examples of influential research that involved local researchers that appeared in international peer reviewed journals. The program’s research outputs demonstrate an intention to influence policy, with clear successes in many countries as well as globally.
