Mozambique became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on October 12, 2017. The tobacco industry has used strategies aimed at showing decision-makers that its industry promotes economic importance to the country by promoting tobacco farming and factory processing jobs. Mozambique, as a developing country, is still, to a certain extent, economically dependent on the tobacco industry. Scarce job opportunities, particularly for the youth, and constraints in foreign earnings leave the country with no choice other than to accept industry corporate social responsibility activities, such as constructing schools, roads, etc.
