This unique event gathers organisations from all over the world that are working directly in communities on a grass root level, having the first hand experience of harm caused by the products and practices of the alcohol industry. At the same time, it is the communities that are first to experience the effects and effectiveness of measures to prevent and reduce alcohol related harm.
For the third WACAA we will reconnect, revisit our position on the new WHO Global Alcohol Action Plan (GAAP), we will share experience of those who have already used the Global Alcohol Action Plan in their work and we will discuss how to hold our governments accountable in the GAAP implementation process.
WACAA is an open and shared space for all community activists and groups worldwide working to prevent and reduce alcohol harm. This gathering is open to organisations working at the local level and/ or supporting community level action.
