Drugs Demand Reduction

One of the challenges identified in some CELAC countries is the development, maintenance and updating of an affordable and sustainable tool to determine the resources and services in the field of Drug Demand Reduction, in both public and private sector, including NGOs.

The Directory of Centres and Services is a sustainable tool for mapping and updating the existing resources that contains records of the different public, private including NGO services in the fields of prevention, treatment, harm reduction and insertion.

The tool is open to the active participation of all countries for data collection, updating or building up their own national registry which will also be a part of the global directory.

Two professionals, one from the LA region and one from the Caribbean region, will be conducting and coordinating the collection of information. They will provide continued assessment of interested countries to update or create their national Directory of Centres and Services in DDR. RIOD will supervise the professional involved to perform the tasks foreseen for the LA region, and CARICOM will select and supervise the professional involved to perform the tasks foreseen for the Caribbean region. The ECB will further support both professionals in all matters they need guidance.
