SESRIC and the National Institute of Statistics (INS) of the Republic of Guinea have formalized their collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) as part of the project titled “Integration of Tobacco Questions for Surveys (TQS) into the National Surveys in Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Member Countries”. The MoA was signed by H.E. Zehra Zümrüt SELÇUK, Director General of SESRIC, and H.E. Dr. Makan DOUMBOUYA, Director General of INS of Guinea.

Through this partnership, the INS of Guinea will integrate TQS into the Sixth Demographic and Health Survey of Guinea (EDSG-VI). This initiative aims to harmonize and standardize the monitoring of key tobacco control indicators, supporting evidence-based policymaking and ensuring the sustainability of data collection on tobacco use.
