ASSESSMENT OF DRUG SITUATIONIN AFGHANISTAN

Despite Afghan and international efforts an exponential upsurge in

opium production has been witnessed (50% increase expected this

year). This necessitates a review of the strategy being followed by all

stake holders.

Reported amnesty to Drug Traffickers by Afghan Government.

Lack of writ of Central Government (hinterland controlled by warlords).

Warlords are involved and providing protection to drug trade

Ministry of Counter Narcotics (MCN) and Counter Narcotics Police of

Afghanistan (CNPA) not fully effective as yet.

Judicial system in nascent stage

Allocated funds for alternative livelihood not reaching the farmers.

According to UNODC only 0.7 million of the allocated US $ 75 million

reached the farmers.

Linkage between drugs and terrorism Countries surrounding Afghanistan are under severe pressure and need

to be strengthened
