Centre For Tobacco Control in Africa (CTCA)

ABSTRACT

CTCA was established in July 2011 by WHO, with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF). The Centre is mandated to provide technical and institutional support to governments in Africa in the areas of policy formulation, legislation and enforcement of tobacco control, as well as building and sustaining institutional capacity for tobacco control. This is done through offering technical, institutional and cross sector support for tobacco control at national and regional levels.
