Abstract
The Data on Alcohol and Tobacco in Africa (DATA) Project of the Economics of Tobacco Control Project at the University of Cape Town seeks to increase awareness of and access to economic and policy data for policies related to healthy diets and alcohol and tobacco control in sub-Saharan Africa. The project collated economic data on alcohol and food from Kenyan public records. Excise revenue data on these items was collected from these records for the period 1947-2017. Data on consumption, production, prices, trade, excise taxes and tax revenue of alcohollic beverages and food items were extracted from the annual reports and statistical abstracts published by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (1955-2017) and Economic Survey (1968-2018). Food consumption, tax revenue, trade, and price data are all imperative for sound research on the impact of food prices, excise tax and other policies on consumption, trade and revenue. This type of data collation is thus important for policy makers and public health advocates.
