Between 25 and 27 September 2023, Zunda Chisha represented the Knowledge Hub on Tobacco Taxation at the 6th meeting of the WHO FCTC Knowledge Hubs, held in Helsinki, Finland. Organized by the Convention Secretariat, this gathering served as a platform for the exchange of information and in-depth discussions on various issues central to the operation of the knowledge hubs.
Members of REEP have been involved in a number of research dissemination activities recently, such as an online workshop focused on tobacco taxation, an alcohol policy conference, and a meeting of the National Taxpayers’ Association in Kenya, where the Tobacco Excise Tax Simulation Model was made available to that organisation and other stakeholders. REEP's project in partnership with Development Gateway in the development of dashboards to support tobacco control policy in six African countries is coming to an end, and we report on some recent activities in this edition.
