Other examples of CTFKs activities around the world include the following: CTFK notes that in 2015 one of its Ukraine grantees, LIFE Regional Advocacy Center (LIFE), introduced bill 2820 through MP allies in Parliament and describes plans to work on a new bill should that measure fail.[10] In Bosnia, CTFK boasts that the Minister of Health approved a bill drafted by grantee PROI [Progressive Reinforcement of Organizations and Individuals] with assistance from CTFK.[11] In Latin America, CTFKs activities included drafting legal arguments and legislative proposals for target countries to authorize bans or restrictive regulations of these [flavored tobacco] products and support lobbying efforts.[12] In the Philippines, it describes efforts to file and push a smoke-free bill aimed at blocking tobacco industry representatives from being part of the policy process, further noting that such a bill has been drafted and will be filed as soon as the opportunity is ripe.[13] In Africa, it notes that through CTFKs continued support, Ethiopia has drafted and advocated for the passage of [tobacco control laws] which should be presented to Parliament by February 2017.[14] When CTFK isnt working directly with state actors to advance its agenda, its network partners are busy laying the groundwork to do so in the future
