We used qualitative data to evaluate impacts of this long-term capacity-building programme to complement tangible impacts, such as law and policy reform found in an earlier evaluation. We undertook 17 interviews with alumni of and stakeholders involved with the ILTP over the period 2014–23. The interviewer conducted semistructured interviews. Two reviewers used inductive content analysis to code the interviews. We found that alumni and stakeholders valued the programme’s role in building networks of participants with legal skills relevant to NCDs and in empowering individuals to become champions for NCDs. Interviewees also took a broader view of impact than the completion of individual law and policy reform projects, considering many law and policy changes, regional initiatives, and leadership roles of alumni beyond those formally supported as part of the programme to have been a key impact of the programme. The study highlights the need to invest in NCD legal capacity building and leadership for the long term. We find that building a community of people with the skills, confidence, and commitment to act on NCDs is a key impact of such programmes, in addition to laws and policies developed.  \nContribution to Health Promotion  \n• Law is a cost-effective and powerful tool to address noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) . Yet laws addressing major NCD risk factors are underutilized.  \n• We examined how building legal capacity contributes to the prevention and control of NCDs in low- and middle-income countries.  \n• The study explores the outputs of a long-term legal training programme beyond law reform, which include the building of networks and NCD champions.  \n• These findings highlight the need to invest in NCD capacity and leadership for the long term and include important implications for those hoping to do so.  \nThe world is not currently on track to meet Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.4 of a one-third reduction in premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) by 2030. In a period when global health funding is increasingly limited, and support from multilateral institutions may be reducing, one powerful, cost-effective, and underutilized tool to address NCDs is the law.  \nThis article explores how capacity building can support better use of laws to address NCDs, through qualitative interviews of alumni and stakeholders of the McCabe Centre for Law and  \nCancer (McCabe Centre)’s international legal training programme (ILTP) . The ILTP aims to raise the legal capacity of government lawyers in low-and middle-income countries to address NCDs and help achieve SDG target 3.4.  \nA previous evaluation found that the ILTP contributed to law and policy reforms in 30 countries with tobacco control laws or regulations by far the most common measure worked on, the defence of laws from legal challenges in five countries, and the initiation of health care cost recovery litigation in one country, through structured ‘priority projects’ supporting participants to  \n© The Author(s) 2026.
