Country partners
ECLT’s country partners are the organisations that carry out and coordinate the programme in the field.
ECLT partners recruit multi-stakeholder steering committees to provide oversight and guidance to their projects. The steering committees consist of tobacco companies and growers, unions, government representatives, non-governmental organisations, international development agencies and the ILO. Partners may also take on other non-governmental organisations to implement core aspects of their programme. Below you can see a list of ECLT’s country partners and their project steering committees.
