CSEA participated in the annual coordination meeting and retreat of the Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) Control Division of the Federal Ministry of Health, alongside other key stakeholders, to discuss their 2025 work plan from March 11 to 14, 2025.
Representing CSEA, Halima Abdulrazaq, a researcher, delivered a presentation on the impact of tobacco use on NCDs. Drawing insights from the Tobacco Control Data Initiative (TCDI) dashboard, she demonstrated how the platform can equip policymakers and advocates with accessible, data-driven insights to support evidence-based decisions aimed at reducing the burden of tobacco-related NCDs.
In 2025, our goal is to continue providing tobacco control actors with updated data and information while strengthening engagement with stakeholders to assess their needs and address them effectively.
