Where We Work

As a collaborating center of the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2004, our work takes around the globe. We concentrate primarily on the 10 priority countries of the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use - Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Indonesia, India, Mexico, Pakistan, the Philippines, Ukraine and Vietnam .

Through these and collaborations with other organizations, we have been able to produce work to support tobacco control action in low- and middle-income countries since our founding in 1998. Choose a region below to learn more about our projects.
