As part of the ongoing tax policy
dialogue with the Government of Ethiopia, the World
BankGroup organized a workshop in Addis Ababa, on June 20,
2016, to discuss tobacco use, its healthimpact, and excise
taxes on tobacco as a public policy measure to reduce
tobacco use, and hencethe risk of ill health, premature
mortality, and disability due to tobacco-related diseases,
andmobilize additional domestic resources to expand the
fiscal capacity of the government, inaccordance with the
Financing for Development Addis Ababa Action Agenda. This
event wasattended by officials from the Ministry of Health
(MOH) and Ministry of Finance & EconomicCooperation
(MoFEC). Ethiopia's Health Sector Transformation Plan
2015-2020 lists noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) as one of
the major public health challenges facing the country. As in
the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, NCDs are expected to become
the leading cause of ill health and death by 2030,
influenced by rapid urbanization, rapid per capita economic
growth, increase in behavioral risk factors (most NCDs are
the result of tobacco use, physical inactivity, unhealthy
diet, and/or the harmful use of alcohol), and improvements
in the control of infectious diseases that increase life
expectancy. As NCDs have become a major health burden in the
country, the Government has put in place ambitious targets
to reduce the prevalence of the main health risk factors
associated with the onset of NCDs among the population. The
strategy focuses on increasing prevention and control of the
main risk factors: tobacco use and alcohol abuse, physical
inactivity and unhealthy diet, which contribute to about 80
