Abstract
The most recent (2009) tobacco control efforts in Ghana, including the African Tobacco Situational Analyses (ATSA) initiative, have focused on advocating for comprehensive national legislation. Unfortunately, the legislation has been stalled for more than five years. In the interim, the tobacco control community has identified other goals that may be more feasible in the short-term. Civil society organizations, including Vision for Alternative Development (VALD) and Healthy Ghana, have become more outspoken publicly about tobacco control issues, and their participation will be central to the success of current initiatives.
