CTCA's pdf report, Tobacco Industry Monitoring, Regional Report for Africa contains a detailed presentation of the industry tactics in 14 countries. it was published in August (sorry for the delay in telling you about it). Two small questions: 1. is a French version planned (could be a summary) 2. Who took all the pictures (many from Burkina Faso)? it would be interesting to make them available separately (with the due credits).
Africa: tobacco industry monitoring report launched (info published in the November 2013 issue of Tobacco Control)
A new report on the tobacco industry provides a comprehensive picture of the state of tobacco industry activities in Africa. Covering Benin, Cameroon, Senegal, Angola, Kenya, Mauritania, Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Chad, Cote D'Ivoire and Niger, the report details poverty and credit bondage among farmers, the use of child labour, brand stretching and other aggressive marketing including corporate social responsibility, and industry interference in policy making.
The report is a collaborative effort led by the Centre for Tobacco Control in Africa in conjunction with The American Cancer Society, The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, and supported by the WHO and governments in each country. The report can be downloaded from http://ctc-africa.org/images/docments/reports/Regional%20_Report_for_Africa_Aug13.pdf⇓
