To***co use is the leading preventable cause of cancer and cancer-related deaths globally. Despite the well-established link, fragmented or inaccessible data frequently obstruct the path to effective policy.

This is where the To***co Control Data Initiative (TCDI) steps in. By providing country-specific platforms, TCDI is:
✅ Breaking down barriers to data accessibility.
✅ Consolidating reliable, comprehensive information in one place.
✅ Empowering policymakers with the evidence needed to counter industry interference.

Data is the foundation for stronger to***co control and a significant reduction in the global cancer burden.

In observance of , we highlight the undeniable role to***co plays in the global cancer epidemic.

In this podcast episode, Kemi Faith Odesola, speaks with Tochukwu Okereke, Programme Manager for the To***co Control Data Initiative (TCDI).

TCDI provides critical data across seven country-specific platforms, strengthening the evidence on the link between to***co use and cancer and equipping policymakers with the evidence needed to protect public health.

Through the lens, we recognise that while every cancer journey is personal, our policy actions must be collective and evidence-based.

Thank you for joining us for the TCDI webinar!

We are grateful to nearly 100 participants, including our panellists and host, for the depth of insights and discussions shared throughout the session. The questions, comments, and reflections were robust and enriching.

The key takeaway was clear: African governments must step up to protect to***co control efforts from harmful to***co industry interference. Strong regional collaboration is also critical for cross-country policy harmonisation, monitoring, and enforcement.
