Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids

What it reported doing in 2024

Global tobacco: the campaign for tobacco free kids works to support civil society organizations in low- and middle-income countries around the world to raise awareness and demand action to reduce tobacco use. The campaign provides financial and technical assistance in ten priority countries: bangladesh, brazil, india, indonesia, mexico, pakistan, philippines, turkey, ukraine, and vietnam where the largest numbers of the world's smokers reside. The campaign also oversees an effort to educate and engage the public in africa, a region where rates of tobacco consumption have not been as high historically but are increasing. Priority countries include ethiopia, kenya, nigeria, senegal, south africa and zambia. Continued on schedule oglobal campaign team support includes strategic planning, campaign implementation, communications and media outreach and policy research and legal technical assistance. Through our special initiative, the global health advocacy incubator, we also work with civil society organizations working on food and nutrition, road safety, drowning prevention, and a range of health system strengthening efforts. In its work, the incubator provides similar financial and technical assistance to local partners in more than 25 countries where the health burden from these issues have led to preventable deaths and disease.
