Other alternative sustainable funding sources
In a number of countries it may not be feasible to use a dedicated tax or a surcharge tax mechanism as a funding source for health promotion, due to a number of constrains. If this is the case, other mechanisms to obtain a sustainable funding source should be explored. The important focus should be on how best to secure a sufficient and sustainable fund, regardless of the sources of revenue.
