From Learning to Sharing: Bringing the ASCEND Experience to Young To***co Control Advocates in Kenya

Leadership development is most meaningful when the knowledge and skills gained are shared with others. Following my participation in the ASCEND Leadership Program, I was pleased to organise a virtual knowledge-sharing session together with my fellow ASCEND colleagues, Erick Omondi and Elizabeth Nyaberi, to share some of the lessons and practical tools we gained with young people involved in to***co control advocacy in Kenya....

What Kenya’s To***co Control Data Are Telling Us: We Need Stronger Taxes, Better Enforcement and Evidence-Based Action

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Kenya Stakeholders' Forum to Strengthen To***co Control Data and Engagement, a meeting that brought together stakeholders to examine some of the issues shaping to***co control in Kenya. For me, the forum was more than another meeting about to***co control. It was an opportunity to reflect on an important question: Do we have the data, policies, taxation systems, and enforcement mechanisms needed to protect Kenyans from the harms of to***co?...

To***co Control Funds Must Deliver for Public Health: Lessons from Kenya’s Solatium Fund Roundtable

What happens when resources are collected in the name of public health, but the public cannot clearly see the health impact of those resources? This was one of the questions that stayed with me after participating in a roundtable discussion on the Strategic Utilization of Kenya’s Solatium Fund for Health Financing and To***co Control, convened by the NTA....

Creating Healthier Food Environments: Why Kenya Must Act on Obesity Prevention

When we talk about obesity, the conversation often focuses on individual responsibility: eat healthier, exercise more and maintain a healthy weight. But how much choice do people really have when the environment around them makes unhealthy choices easier, cheaper, more accessible and more heavily promoted? This was one of the questions I reflected on during a recent dialogue convened by…...

Why Gender Must Be Part of the Conversation on To***co Taxation

This week I had the opportunity to participate in the Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue on Integrating Gender Considerations into To***co and Health Taxation Policies, organized by the National Taxpayers Association (NTA). The dialogue brought together stakeholders to examine an issue that deserves greater attention in to***co control: how gender considerations can be meaningfully integrated into to***co and health taxation policies....

From Bath to Nairobi: Sharing TIMRA2026 Skills with Kenya’s Youth To***co Control Advocates

About a month after participating in the To***co Industry Monitoring, Research and Accountability (TIMRA2026) training hosted by the To***co Control Research Group at the University of Bath, I had the opportunity to put those lessons into practice by training youth to***co control advocates in Kenya. The training took place during the Youth Champions Training on Systematic Monitoring of To***co Industry Interference…...

Day 4 at : Harnessing Storytelling and Strategic Communication for To***co Control

The fourth day of the Ascend Fellowship shifted our focus from analysing problems to communicating solutions. Having spent the previous days identifying key to***co control constraints, exploring their root causes, mapping stakeholders, and gathering field evidence, it was now time to learn how to transform that work into messages capable of influencing change. The day's sessions highlighted an important reality: evidence alone is rarely enough....

Day 3 at : Turning Evidence into Action Through Systems Thinking and Photovoice

The third day of the Ascend Fellowship demonstrated how effective to***co control extends beyond understanding problems—it requires identifying root causes, engaging the right stakeholders, using research to inform policy, and documenting real-world realities to inspire change. Building on the leadership and systems-thinking concepts introduced during the previous two days, Day Three challenged us to translate theory into practical action. Deepening Our Understanding of Systems Thinking…...

Through systems thinking, policy analysis, litigation, and cultural exchange, the day demonstrated that advancing public health requires strategic action across multiple fronts.
