Our activities to reduce the harmful use of alcohol

We are coordinating activities within WHO and working in close collaboration and interaction with other units in WHO Headquarters, regional and country offices on reducing the harmful use of alcohol and strengthening national responses

We are generating, collating, compiling and disseminating valid and reliable information on alcohol consumption, its impact on population health and policy and program responses to prevent or reduce the negative consequences.

We are developing, disseminating and evaluating evidence-informed technical guidance and tools supporting implementation of the global strategy, as well as documenting and monitoring implementation of alcohol policies and their impact on population's health.

We are working with Countries, UN agencies and other intergovernmental organizations, and, as appropriate, with non-governmental organizations, academic institutions and other relevant entities at international, regional and national levels.
