“We began selling sanitation products,” says Joyce Kanini, one of the members. “The proceeds were used for table banking where we took loans from the groups for personal development like paying school fees, buying household goods and later repay with interest,” says Joyce Kanini, one of the members of the group. (...) Another group is called Bar Agulu group, which operates in Siaya County and is committed to ending open dedication. The community health volunteers have been trained on the importance of basic sanitation, installing SaTo toilet products, as well as setting up income generating activities like soap making. (...)

  WHO | The registration for the first conference that will tackle illicit tobacco trade globally: the

23 August 2018 - On 27 June 2018, with more than 40 Parties, the conditions for the entry into force of the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products (the Protocol) were met. Accordingly, the new international treaty will enter into force on 25 September this year. (...) The Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products is an international treaty aimed at eliminating all forms of illicit trade in tobacco products through a package of measures to be taken by countries acting in cooperation with each other: it is a global solution to a global problem. The Protocol was developed in response to the growing illegal trade in tobacco products, often across borders. Illicit trade poses a serious threat to public health because it increases access to – often cheaper – tobacco products, thus fueling the tobacco epidemic and undermining tobacco control policies.
