Abstract
Since 2002, representatives of donor and other agencies involved in global tobacco control have met on an annual basis to discuss ways to improve coordination and funding of their efforts. In late 2006, they began compiling a database conceived as a resource on projects funded in low- and middle-income countries. Each entry records the type, duration (dates), amount and geographic location of the project. This grant will allow an intern at the American Cancer Society (ACS) to update, expand and maintain the existing database with a view to enhancing the quality of information provided to funding agencies and other tobacco control stakeholders, thereby improving coordination and funding of the global tobacco control effort.
