Provision of technical inputs from COPOLAD relevant for policy-making

Dialogue & Mechanism


The EU-CELAC Coordination and Cooperation Mechanism on drugs will be able to request COPOLAD to elaborate technical report/s (review the “state of the art”) in relevant thematic areas for policy-making. Possible priority areas will have to be explored at the Permanent Council of COPOLAD for ratification from countries. These areas could be related with policy design and approaches, implementation and evaluation tools, mechanisms for inter-service coordination and cooperation, socio-economic costs related to drugs, among others.
