Kenya ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) on June 25, 2004. In 2010, the ITC Project collaborated with researchers from the University of Nairobi, Kenya Medical Research Institute, and International Institute for Legislative Affairs to establish the ITC Kenya (KE) Survey. ITC KE Survey has conducted two waves of adult tobacco users and non-users aged 15 and older.
