Quick summary

Objectives: The primary objective of the TTAA project is to advocate for enhanced tobacco tax policy, specifically, increasing the excise tax on tobacco products and revising tax structures. This is aimed at capturing significant revenue for domestic resource mobilization, reducing the social and economic impact of tobacco (such as healthcare costs and lost productivity), and protecting public health. The project is implemented by national CSO partners in Kenya, Zambia, Nigeria, Ghana, the DRC, and previously excluded South Africa, and is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Eligibility criteria: Eligible consultants must provide experience in similar assignments; have appropriate staff available; and present a firm profile, proposed work plan, and methodology. Mandatory documents include a certificate of registration or incorporation, tax compliance certificates, business permits, technical and financial proposals, previous experience proof, and CVs of the proposed team. Organizations or individuals will be excluded if involved in corruption, if TJNA staff have a financial interest, or due to legal or financial misconduct. Proposals must be valid for 90 days and in USD. Communication with TJNA is restricted to specified methods.

The project is primarily implemented by national CSO partners in the six (6) selected project countries, namely Kenya, Zambia, Nigeria, Ghana, the DRC and South Africa. For purposes of these ToRs, South Africa, as a new addition, is excluded.
