Tobacco Technical Assistance Consortium Global Tobacco Control Initiative

Housed at Emory’s Rollins School of Public Health, the Tobacco Technical Assistance Consortium (TTAC) has historically fostered strong leadership, increased organizational capacity, and strengthened partnerships in the U.S. tobacco control community by providing innovative trainings, technical assistance, and educational materials. Its primary role has been to fill existing gaps and provide a collaborative framework that will foster the breadth and depth of assistance necessary to build and sustain the U.S. tobacco control movement. It has built a national reputation as the “go to” organization for training and technical assistance by providing assistance to more than 500 organizations with projects taking place in all 50 states. The TTAC Global Tobacco Control Initiative takes the organization’s mission to the global arena by providing technical assistance to countries strategically targeted by the tobacco industry and to countries that are working to decrease tobacco use and increase tobacco free environments. Initial countries that the TTAC Global Tobacco Control Initiative plans to target are Canada, Thailand, and Uruguay.
