During the first phase of this project, numerous decision-makers were engaged and involved in discussions with the goal of establishing a new taxation system to reduce tobacco use in West Africa. Although regional economic authorities (ECOWAS and WAEMU) are preparing to adopt new tobacco taxation guidelines, the lack of local evidence remains a major barrier to the implementation of national fiscal policies. As a result, decision-makers are ill-equipped to evaluate the potential effects of tax increases on their government's tax revenue and on public health, and to set objectives for reduced tobacco use. This study will estimate the costs of tobacco use in Senegal and show, for the first time, the extent of the chronic morbidity and the economic costs associated with tobacco use in a West African country. In addition, data on tobacco demand in Senegal and Nigeria (collected in 2015) will be used to determine the optimal taxation rates required to considerably reduce tobacco use in these two countries. Lastly, the study will assess the true economic contribution of the industry in a selection of West African countries, estimate the effects of increased taxes on illicit trade, and perform an in-depth analysis of the tax systems in these countries. These analyses will be used to develop concrete reforms that will overcome the barriers to implementing effective tobacco control measures in the various countries in the region. It is expected that by the end of the project, the introduction of excise duties and regular tax increases will be widely accepted, and more than half of the countries will reform their tax systems to integrate these measures and promote the health of their population.

Public finances and tobacco taxation with product variety : theory and application to Senegal and Nigeria Article Results of the study show that excise tax development does not have the same implications for the two countries. The price elasticity of tobacco demand is very high in Senegal, in contrast to Nigeria. Increasing tobacco taxes in Senegal strongly reduces demand, but also causes a decrease in tax revenues. While increasing taxes causes a lesser decline in demand in Nigeria, it could create a sharp increase in the country’s tax revenues. There is a specific threshold beyond which the tax increases cease to have a positive effect on tax revenues in Nigeria.

Illicit trade in tobacco products in ECOWAS countries Brief A study by the Consortium pour la recherche économique et sociale (CRES) / Consortium for Economic and Social Research estimates the illicit trade in tobacco on average as 18% of the total market in the fifteen Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Through simulation models, the effects on the average price, the quantities consumed, and tax revenues are estimated. Non-price factors, such as the presence of corruption, organized crime networks and widespread street-selling are powerful drivers of the development of the illicit trade in tobacco products.

Tax for smoking? an analysis of the relationship between the price of tobacco and quitting smoking in Nigeria and Senegal Brief This policy brief reports on a study where a sample of 432 smokers in Nigeria and 315 smokers in Senegal was analysed to better understand the relationship between the effect of increasing the price of cigarettes on quitting smoking. Results show that these factors and their effects may differ depending on the country in which they are implemented. For instance, in Senegal, substituting a cheaper brand was seen as an alternative to quitting. The World Health Organization has developed a framework convention to help countries implement a range of measures to reduce tobacco use. Autor(es) : DEDEHOUANOU, Fidèle Lenguaje: Inglés |
Policy brief on Burkina Faso tabacco taxation : apply effective taxation and bring up to date statistics while implementing school-based tobacco control training programs Brief There is no national survey on adult smoking in Burkina Faso. Data available on the consumption of tobacco products are based on divided groups’ studies that focus on a few large cities. The policy brief recommends an exclusive survey of adult tobacco use, and to change the tax base of tobacco products. Tobacco excise revenues almost doubled in Burkina Faso between 2011 and 2015. The Consortium pour la recherche économique et sociale (CRES) / Consortium for Economic and Social Research developed a country profile on smoking in each of the 15 Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries.

Benin profile on tobacco taxation : adopt a more effective taxation and better inform tobacco products prevalence Brief The 2015 Survey of Risk Factors for Chronic Diseases in Benin (STEPS) indicates that smoking is declining significantly from 16% of adult smokers, in 2007 to 5% in 2015. However, the tax on tobacco products is very inefficient, with a tax portion in the sale price representing only 8%, while the WHO recommends a share equal to 75%. This CRES policy brief (Consortium pour la recherche économique et sociale (CRES) / Consortium for Economic and Social Research) recommends sensitization campaigns to inform people about anti-smoking laws; and to apply an ad valorem tax rate of at least 50%.

Senegal profile on tobacco taxation : adopt more effective taxation and better information on the prevalence of tobacco products Brief The country profile of Senegal reveals a relatively high prevalence of tobacco use by young people, and a limited tax system for reducing the consumption of tobacco products. Recommendations for moving Senegal towards a taxation objective of 70% of tax share in the selling price include taxation of manufacturers’ stocks. Senegal remains a net exporter of tobacco (2011-2015). However, the tobacco industry has a negligible contribution to the overall employment of the industrial sector. Since 2014, Senegal has applied a single tax of 45% for all categories of cigarettes. Autor(es) : Consortium for Economic and Social Research (CRES) Lenguaje: Inglés |

Effectiveness of tobacco product taxation systems in ECOWAS member countries : tax incidence approach Brief The Consortium pour la recherche économique et sociale (CRES) / Consortium for Economic and Social Research conducted research to analyze the impact of tobacco taxation in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries. This policy brief shows that the effectiveness of tax increases can be improved if commercial margins are taxed. Recommendations are to continually increase excise taxes on tobacco products to have a consequent rise in prices that discourages consumption; and to change the excise tax base by including commercial margins so that the consumer is fully impacted by tax increases.

Profile of the Ivory Coast on tabacco : adopt a more effective and better inform about the prevalence of tobacco products Brief This policy brief provides facts obtained from Ivory Coast’s country profile (2011 – 2016). The prevalence of smoking was estimated at 14.6% for both sexes. The tobacco industry is exempt from anti-advertising legislation. The Ivory Coast is the third largest producer of cigarettes in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The tax base for tobacco products is the ex-factory price and represents less than half of the selling price. Recommendations include: a survey on the consumption of tobacco products by adults; change the tax base ex-factory price; apply an ad valorem tax rate of at least 50%.

Market power of the tobacco industry in Senegal Brief When the State increases tobacco taxes, manufacturers may decide to consider additional tax revenues as an increase in their costs and lower their profit rather than increase their selling price so as not to discourage the consumer. La Manufacture des tabacs de l'Ouest Africain (MTOA) and Philip Morris market strategies are compared in the study by the Consortium pour la recherche économique et sociale (CRES) / Consortium for Economic and Social Research. Results are presented in this policy brief, which recommends a significant increase in tobacco products taxation in Senegal. Autor(es) : Mane, Papa Yona, Diagne, Abdoulaye Lenguaje: Inglés |

Costs of smoking in Senegal Brief The Consortium pour la recherche économique et sociale (CRES) / Consortium for Economic and Social Research conducted research to enlighten political decision-making on tobacco in Senegal. Six groups of tobacco-related diseases were selected from the list of 26 diseases identified by the World Health Organization (WHO), taking into account their importance in care statistics in Senegal. Direct costs of smoking to the Government equal 51 billion FCFA, representing a large proportion of the health sector budget. CRES recommendations include the regular increase in taxes on tobacco products in Senegal to discourage consumption and to offset costs.

Effectiveness of tobacco product taxation systems in ECOWAS member countries : tax frontier approach Brief The effectiveness of the tax system on tobacco products in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries is measured by the difference between a country’s effective tax rate and its tax capacity. The actual excise tax shares in the selling price of cigarettes are very small compared to the 70% WHO recommendation. Countries that potentially meet the 75% WHO target are Cape Verde, Benin and Ghana. The first priority of tobacco control in ECOWAS countries is a steady increase in taxes. The maximum tax capacity will rely for improvement on the level of productivity of government administration. Autor(es) : DIAGNE, Abdoulaye, MANE, Papa Yona, KPEGLI, Yao Thibaut Lenguaje: Inglés |

Modeling the macroeconomic effects of disease : extension and application in the context of Senegal Article This paper proposes a model that quantifies the economic burden of a particular disease as the difference in GDP between two scenarios: a counter-factual scenario in which the disease is eliminated from the beginning of the time period, and a status quo scenario with the presence of the disease. It proposes a framework for the analysis of the macroeconomic impact of noncommunicable diseases (NCD) and applies the methodology to the context of Senegal. Total losses associated with non-communicable diseases over the period 2015-2035 are projected to amount to US$ 23 billion.

Macroeconomic impacts of non commnicable diseases related to tobacco in Senegal Brief The Consortium pour la recherche économique et sociale (CRES) / Consortium for Economic and Social Research conducted research to enlighten political decision-making on tobacco in Senegal. CRES has completed its annual assessment of annual costs through research measuring economic losses in the long run. This policy brief presents the main lessons that emerge, which show the urgency of taking effective measures to reduce the consumption of tobacco products in order to reduce the prevalence of diseases linked to it. Taxation is considered the most effective way to reduce this consumption. Autor(es) : Mane, Papa Yona, Diagne, Abdoulaye, Kpegli, Yao Tibault Lenguaje: Inglés |
Public finances and tobacco taxation with product variety : theory and application to Senegal and Nigeria Brief This research determines which category of excise taxes is more appropriate to the market of cigarettes in Senegal and in Nigeria, and analyzes the impact on prices, demand and fiscal revenues. The policy brief makes recommendations taking into consideration different scenarios for each country. Taxing groups of tobacco users differently could be at variance with Senegalese and Nigerian legislations. In addition, differentiated prices by geographical regions could exacerbate the problem of illegal cigarettes smuggling. Article 6 of the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC) recognizes price and tax measures as effective means to reduce the demand for tobacco.

Profile of Nigeria on tobacco taxation : adopt more effective taxation and better information on the prevalence of tobacco products Brief The purpose of this policy brief is to share facts obtained in the country profile of Nigeria between 2012 and 2016. It recommends youth awareness campaigns on the negative effects of tobacco use, the increase of ad valorem tax rates to make tobacco products less accessible, and to change the tax base of tobacco products. The Consortium pour la recherche économique et sociale (CRES) / Consortium for Economic and Social Research developed a country profile on smoking in each of the 15 Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries.

Niger profile on tobacco taxation : adopt a more effective taxation and better inform tobacco products prevalence Brief The share of tobacco products in the total tax revenue of the country is low. Niger does not produce cigarettes but raw leaf tobacco in the Maradi and Agadez regions. Although tobacco products are among the most heavily taxed products, with the method of taxation ad valorem, tax increases are not always passed on to the selling price by the tobacco industry. The policy brief recommends an exclusive survey of adult tobacco use, and to change the tax base of tobacco products. In Niger, statistics on the prevalence of smoking are out-dated, and no specific nationwide survey has been undertaken to collect information from adults.
