The factsheets present tobacco producƟ on and trade related informaƟ on for Africa. We hope this report will not only enable policy-makers and public health experts to develop a beƩ er understanding of the impact of trade liberalizaƟ on on the domesƟ c producƟ on and consumpƟ on of tobacco, but also of tobacco control measures such as WHO’s Framework ConvenƟ on on Tobacco Control (WHO-FCTC). The country factsheets will help policymakers, civil society, researchers and other stakeholders strengthen support for full implementaƟ on of the FCTC. This collaboraƟ on between WHO and UNCTAD has also advanced the work of the UN Interagency Task Force on the PrevenƟ on and Control of Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which the United NaƟ ons Secretary-General established in 2013 and placed under the leadership of WHO. ReporƟ ng to the United NaƟ ons Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the Task Force is coordinaƟ ng the acƟ viƟ es of UN organizaƟ ons to support naƟ onal NCD responses. The joint work demonstrates the beneĮ t of collaboraƟ on between UNCTAD and WHO in terms of accessing and uƟ lizing the technical resources and databases of these organizaƟ ons, and in eī ecƟ vely disseminaƟ ng relevant data and analysis available in the UN system. Data in this publicaƟ on are drawn from mulƟ ple sources already published by WHO, UNCTAD, United NaƟ ons InternaƟ onal Trade StaƟ sƟ cs Database (UN COMTRADE), Food and Agriculture OrganizaƟ on Corporate StaƟ sƟ cal Database (FAOSTAT), World Integrated Trade SoluƟ on (WITS), World Trade OrganizaƟ on (WTO), UN StaƟ sƟ cs Division, UN PopulaƟ on Division and the World Bank. These country proĮ les include trends in current tobacco use, tobacco producƟ on, crop yield, and tobacco trade (including tariī s and non- tariī measures). We hope that this publicaƟ on will be useful to Member States, other partners and stakeholders.
