The Centre for Tobacco Control in Africa (CTCA) has been in existence since 2011. CTCA is a premier go-to Centre for tobacco control in Africa. It doubles as a resource Centre and knowledge hub. The niche of the Centre is Capacity Development for African governments and their prime actors to develop/design and implement robust tobacco control laws, policies and interventions. The goal of the Centre is reduction in tobacco use and promotion of human health premised in reduction in production and consumption of all forms of tobacco.

The focus of the human resource development strategy is to develop the most superior workforce so that CTCA and individual employees can accomplish their work goals in service to tobacco control in Africa.
