Tobacco Control in Africa - TCA

Projects presently funded by CTFK in Africa: only one left (as of now) in 2019? ACBF now the main source?

Go and visit the database of grants awarded by CTFK. I found only a project in Chad.

Maybe/probably most of the grants are now awarded by the African Capacity Building Foundation, as presented in this September 2018 video? Zero detailed information about the amounts involved and the projects themselves. At the very end they say they intend to fund more projects in more countries but that's all. The ACBF provided us  with 4 pdf documents you can access via the urls below:

2 year CTFK's grant for 7 Francophone countries (2014-2015)

Revisiting the grants database we discover this $300.000 grant awarded in July 2013 to the Association pour la défense des Droits des Consommateurs involving 7 countries: Chad, Niger, Burkina, Cote D’Ivoire, Guinea, Mauritania, and Burundi.

CTFK awards a $300K grant to the Association pour la Défense des Droits des Consommateurs (ADC) to promote tobacco control in 5 French speaking countries

The $300K grant is awarded to the Association pour la Défense des Droits des Consommateurs (ADC) based in Ndjamena (Chad). The countries involved are Chad, Niger, Burkina, Guinea and Mauritania. It looks like a continuation of a previous grant awarded in 2009 (until July 2011) to the same group to work in Chad, Niger, Burkina and Ivory Coast. As far as we know no report has been made public about what was achieved with the previous grant and how it was managed. Not much is available online about ADC. We found this article and the cyber-interview of Daouda ElDadj Adam by Pascal Bogui, published in 2007 on Pascal's blog (both documents in French).

Tchad: adoption de la proposition de loi antittabac

Cette information est fournie par Daouda. 

Je vous informe que l'assemblée nationale du Tchad a adopté à l'unanimité la proposition de loi initiée par le député Kebzabo et soutenue par l'Association des consommateurs du Tchad (ADC). Cette adoption a été rendue possible grâce aux actions de plaidoyer et d'information menées par l'ADC auprès des députés.

The Association pour la défense de Droits des Consommateurs (Chad) awarded $475,000 for a 4 countries project

This information was found while visiting at random the google map where the grants awarded by the Bloomberg Initiative are posted. 

The project aims to secure adoption and full enforcement of tobacco control legislation and/or regulations in line with FCTC COP guidelines and international best practice in Burkina Faso, Chad and Niger, and to support FCTC ratification by Côte d’Ivoire. It aims to share experiences on FCTC implementation between francophone African countries, improve preparation for COP-4 and illicit trade protocol negotiations, and develop strategies for improving tobacco control resources.
