FCTC Voluntary Assessed Contributions

Voluntary Assessed Contributions (VACs) are crucial for the operation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), as they represent a predictable and vital cash flow allowing the Secretariat to carry out the workplan agreed by the Conference of the Parties (COP).

In FCA’s view, the COP should appropriately address both the collection of VACs and measures to secure extrabudgetary contributions on a regular basis.
