Vision for Alternative Development (VALD) – a non-governmental organization with special focus on advocating against Tobacco use in Ghana, has officially launched the Ghana 2021 Tobacco Industry Interference Index report at a ceremony in Accra on Wednesday October 6, 2021.

This is the second edition of the report put together by VALD with support and partnership from the Global Centre for Good Governance in Tobacco Control (GGTC) and the Africa Tobacco Control Alliance (ATCA). The first report was launched in October last year.

The index presents findings of the tobacco industry attempts and interference in government efforts to develop tobacco control policies, strengthen measures to control tobacco use and overall implementation of the WHO FCTC and its protocols.
