Leadership, awareness and commitment Area 2. Health services response Area 3. Community action Area 4. Drink driving policies and countermeasures Area 5. Availability of alcohol Area 6. Marketing of alcoholic beverages Area 7. Pricing policies Area 8. Reducing the negative consequences of drinking and alcohol intoxication Area 9.

20 Challenges and opportunities Increasing global action and international cooperation. Ensuring intersectoral action. According appropriate attention. Balancing different interests. Focusing on equity. Considering the context in recommending actions. Strengthening information.

21 Aims and objectives National and local efforts can produce better results when they are supported by regional and global action within agreed policy frames. Thus the purpose of the global strategy is to support and complement public health policies in Member States. The vision behind the global strategy is improved health and social outcomes for individuals, families and communities, with considerably reduced morbidity and mortality due to harmful use of alcohol and their ensuing social consequences. It is envisaged that the global strategy will promote and support local, regional and global actions to prevent and reduce the harmful use of alcohol. The global strategy aims to give guidance for action at all levels; to set priority areas for global action; and to recommend a portfolio of policy options and measures that could be considered for implementation and adjusted as appropriate at the national level, taking into account national circumstances, such as religious and cultural contexts, national public health priorities, as well as resources, capacities and capabilities.

22 Five objectives: (a)raised global awareness of the magnitude and nature of the health, social and economic problems caused by harmful use of alcohol, and increased commitment by governments to act to address the harmful use of alcohol; (b)strengthened knowledge base on the magnitude and determinants of alcohol-related harm and on effective interventions to reduce and prevent such harm; (c)increased technical support to, and enhanced capacity of, Member States for preventing the harmful use of alcohol and managing alcohol-use disorders and associated health conditions; (d)strengthened partnerships and better coordination among stakeholders and increased mobilization of resources required for appropriate and concerted action to prevent the harmful use of alcohol; (e)improved systems for monitoring and surveillance at different levels, and more effective dissemination and application of information for advocacy, policy development and evaluation purposes.

23 Aims and objectives The harmful use of alcohol and its related public health problems are influenced by the general level of alcohol consumption in a population, drinking patterns and local contexts. Achieving the five objectives will require global, regional and national actions on the levels, patterns and contexts of alcohol consumption and the wider social determinants of health. Special attention needs to be given to reducing harm to people other than the drinker and to populations that are at particular risk from harmful use of alcohol, such as children, adolescents, women of child-bearing age, pregnant and breastfeeding women, indigenous peoples and other minority groups or groups with low socioeconomic status.

24 Guiding principles (a) Public policies and interventions to prevent and reduce alcohol-related harm should be guided and formulated by public health interests and based on clear public health goals and the best available evidence. (b) Policies should be equitable and sensitive to national, (c) religious and cultural contexts. All involved parties have the responsibility to act in ways that do not undermine the implementation of public policies and interventions to prevent and reduce harmful use of alcohol. (d) Public health should be given proper deference in relation to competing interests and approaches that support that direction should be promoted.

25 Guiding principles (e) Protection of populations at high risk of alcoholattributable harm and those exposed to the effects of harmful drinking by others should be an integral part of policies addressing the harmful use of alcohol. (f) Individuals and families affected by the harmful use of alcohol should have access to affordable and effective prevention and care services. (g) Children, teenagers and adults who choose not to drink alcohol beverages have the right to be supported in their non-drinking behaviour and protected from pressures to drink. (h) Public policies and interventions to prevent and reduce alcohol related harm should encompass all alcoholic beverages and surrogate alcohol.

26 10 recommended target areas: (a) leadership, awareness and commitment (b) health services response (c) community action (d) drink driving policies and countermeasures (e) availability of alcohol (f) marketing of alcoholic beverages (g) pricing policies (h) reducing the negative consequences of drinking and alcohol intoxication (i) reducing the public health impact of illicit alcohol and informally produced alcohol (j) monitoring and surveillance

27 Global Action: Key Roles And Components Role of WHO, WHO secretariat and different stakeholders Priority areas for global action: Public health advocacy and partnership Technical support and capacity building Production and dissemination of knowledge Resource mobilization

28 Implementing the strategy Successful implementation of the strategy will require concerted action by Member States, effective global governance and appropriate engagement of all relevant stakeholders. All actions listed in the strategy are proposed to support the achievement of the five objectives. The Secretariat will report regularly on the global burden of alcohol-related harm, make evidence-based recommendations, and advocate action at all levels to prevent and reduce harmful use of alcohol. It will collaborate with other intergovernmental organizations and, as appropriate, other international bodies representing key stakeholders to ensure that action to reduce harmful use of alcohol receives appropriate priority and resources.
